Years ago, when visiting the town and watching fishing boats pulling into harbor, Lee was reminded of a long-ago scene that she had seen there of a fisherman's wife silently sending off her husband to sea. She felt in that instant that she wanted to document fishing life in all its hardships.
多年前，她偶然來到南方澳勘景，看到漁船入港的畫面時，不禁憶起了久遠以前曾在此看過一位妻子默默目送丈夫上漁船駛離的畫面，頓時心中湧現一股衝動──真想紀錄這些討海人的艱辛一生。
