The documentary "The journey of Chiling" is about a girl from Hong Kong who is studying in Taiwan and facing the struggle of staying or leaving Taiwan. This is a Participatory Documentary that has put the audience into the perspective of a close friend of Chiling. Because of the passionate Chiling has for singing, the director decided to use songs covered by her as the background music. Director hopes the audience could enjoy the beautiful voice of Chiling while watching. The motivation for shooting this documentary is trying to understand the difficulties that students from Hong Kong and Macau are facing when they seek job opportunities after graduation in Taiwan. Furthermore, it become tougher for students to find jobs under the effect of COVID-19. Meanwhile, the government has implemented the third-level epidemic prevention policy, which forced her to do the final decision.

The director is also a student from Macau and hopes to share the story to remind other students who have a similar situation, to prepare well for their future work path. Last but not least, although this documentary may not be perfect, the experiences and memories in the process are the most valuable. It records not only the effort of the director and her friends paid but also the memories of their living in Taiwan which can be said to be the most sincere clips of each other's youth. Time flies, but memories last forever.
