澳門的水源．As Fontes de Água de Macau．Macao Water Fountains
Director : Lao
Producer : Miguel Cheong Kin Man
There is a legend that says “those who drink from the fountain of Lilau will always stay or return to Macao”. In reality, people not only stayed in Macao, but settled around the fountain. In spite of the legend, Lilau’s fountain dried out in the last century, but its charm is still there. It is a spring full of memories and also one of the symbols of the harmonious encounter of local cultures. It is a pity that in the Lilau area, which is on the World Heritage List, most of the houses are abandoned and have lost their proper cultural function. Moreover, the fountainhead is now facing a serious hygiene problem. When will Lilau attract the attention it deserves, bringing a closure to this predicament?
傳說中，澳門人就在水源的旁邊誕生。事實上，澳門半島最早期的聚居點不是沿溪而建就是圍泉而築。儘管那傳說的起源──亞婆井－早在上世紀已乾涸，然而她的魅力卻從未減退。那是一個充滿美好回憶的泉源，更是本地不同文化和諧交融的象徵之一。可惜，在被列入世界文化遺產名錄的亞婆井周圍，大部份房屋已然荒廢，並沒能發揮本身的文化功能，而其源頭更處於衛生極差的狀況。究竟，亞婆井的問題要再到甚麼時候才可受到應有的關注？
