『我認為電影中藏姑娘作為一位母親展現出深厚的母愛,她為兩位女兒無私、不辭勞苦的付出,令人感動。她更是現代獨立女性的典範,靠著自身對水餃的堅持和信念打出一片天。在電影中,藏姑娘身邊更有一眾朋友出手相助、支持和鼓勵,令人感覺到人間有情。』
文卓 (高中男孩子)
『劇中人物真實而生動,既有笑點也有淚點,讓人感到貼近生活。劇作也傳遞了積極向上的人生態度,勉勵人們在困境中不放棄,努力追求夢想。《水餃皇后》以簡單的水餃為媒介,展現了對家庭與人情的深刻詮釋,看完後讓人深感溫暖與啟發。這部電影亦令我意識到人與人之間應該互幫互助 ,發揚香港精神,並珍惜身邊所有愛我的人。』
和田(高中女孩子)
『睇完之後,我覺得非常之感動,那個臧媽媽很努力地保護她的女兒啊! 她的大女兒真是非常委屈的。從分享會才知道,小女兒本來要睇水走鬼,原來睇睇下又去了跟小狗玩,搞到無叫大家走鬼呢! 臧姑娘在我眼中是很偉大的。』
卓謙(低小男孩子)
『感恩有機會參與《水餃皇后》特別埸,欣賞了一套感人而又非一般的劉偉强執導的電影! 這是一套真人真事拍攝的戲,所以我個人感覺體會更深!特別是映後親身聽到臧姑娘兩位女兒的真實分享,深深體會香港人的獅子山精神。
我一入場,有兩個男孩子主動向我打招呼,原來正是做司儀向嘉賓提問的那兩位。原來全院孩子都出席參加了,開埸後不久孩子們一直很安静欣賞,連我隔離一位大約6、7歲的小妹妹也很留心, 我相信是因為這套戲帶给他們一個信息,只要努力就一定會成功,只要有能力就應該多去行善幫人!能與孩子一起參與,這真是一個積極又正面的活動!』

『大家都看到熱淚盈眶,非常感動。這些都是我和朋友的兒時回憶。我們也很敬重 貴機構,聽到你們院長一席話,相信貴機構致力為受困苦及有需要的兒童謀福利!』
Carmen
『這套電影最觸動我的,是戲裏充滿了「情」! 有臧姑娘與媽媽及女兒的「親情」,有同屋鄰舍的「友情」, 有糖水伯伯的「恩情」,更有警官對小販的「憐憫之情」。另外令我最欣賞是臧姑娘對她的產品(水餃)的要求,要做到盡善盡美,那份堅持及執著,在現今時代已少之又少了。我也反省自己人生,是否有這份堅持及執著,活出生命的美善呢?』
Yvonne
『最震撼的一幕, 是藏姑娘在後巷洗碗時被撞跌,背躺在地,雙目仰天,彷彿在問:我這樣努力,為何得到這結果?以後該怎辦?女兒點算好?身體健康不是理所當然,一旦失去健康與力氣,真會使人一厥不振。 女主角也曾有輕生的念頭, 幸得女兒和鄰居的支持,一個轉念,成就下一個精彩的人生片段,感恩扶持。』
Debby
『原來「餃子」背後蘊含著臧姑娘和兩位年幼女兒的生命故事。從電影中,我感受到生命的堅毅,在困境中鄰里之間互相扶持的人情味,在執法與人情之間的體諒,都令我十分感動。有幸在播道兒童之家慈善專場聽到兩姊妹的親身分享。活動完結時,我走向家姐並告訴她:「我的奶奶今年91歲,她指定要食你們出品的餃子啊!」』

“ Two of my friends came to HK in those days and had similar experiences. They liked the movie very much and the movie reminded them of those people who helped them in those early days.

On April 12, masters from NRG Taekwondo Korea (led by Master No Rae) and approximately 20 young adults from the Hong Kong Elim Presbyterian Church (led by Pastor Kim Seongcheol under Senior Pastor Cho Yoon Tae) visited Evangel Children’s Home (ECH). The visit began with English worship songs and dances that the children could follow along with, creating an opportunity to build rapport with them. The taekwondo dance performance which followed helped open the children’s hearts even more, improving the atmosphere. The final Taekwondo demonstration by Master No and NRG Taekwondo masters brought everyone together in cheers and applause, creating a unified experience.
After all the performances concluded, Pastor Kim delivered a sermon to the children about Jesus’ cross in preparation for the upcoming Easter. Through his message that “God sent His Son Jesus to forgive our sins although we are sinners,” the children received the message of God’s unconditional love.
“Seeing the children here made me realize how precious the things I’ve taken for granted are,” said Sangju Lee, one of the NRG Taekwondo masters who joined the event. “I initially came with a simple mindset of volunteering, but the time spent with these children was valuable, and though I came to serve, I feel I received much more.”
Hyunseong Lee, from the young adults ministry of Elim Church, recalled: “If last year’s mural painting was about covering the children’s wounds with love, this year while creating frames to hold the children’s artwork, I felt that we should always hold these children in our hearts. Although we only meet these children once a year, I wanted to convey that Jesus always walks with them, and I realized we should always keep them in our prayers.”
Halim Kim, from the church university ministry, shared: “I had the opportunity to visit Evangel Children’s Home again this year after last year’s visit. While I remember approaching each other cautiously and awkwardly last year, this year the children approached me first, and I felt warmed by their reduced guardedness.”
“What particularly stands out in my memory was a child who told me about scoring 12 on her math exam. That cheerful and innocent expression made me smile too. Another child who could barely make eye contact last year due to trauma was smiling brightly this year, sharing dreams of becoming a doctor. When the children talked about school or made casual comments about who was good-looking, I realized these children are no different from kids outside—just ordinary, innocent children. Hearing that their favorite food is the Korean fried chicken we’ve shared in last year’s event, I learned gratitude from how they find joy even in the smallest things.”
“However, thinking about what scars and memories might chase these children throughout their lives weighs heavily on my heart. Nor do I know the reason why the child I’ve painted pictures with had to have her face blurred in the official photograph. I also got to know that due to government policy, the children must leave ECH when they turn 18. Though ECH provides a transition period to help them adapt to society, I find myself continuing to pray that they can pursue their dreams in the world ahead, walking with Christ.”
Hyunseo Kim, also from the church university ministry, shared: “The children I visited after a year left me with many new thoughts. Unlike last year when church members conducted activities separately, this volunteer opportunity allowed us to interact directly with the children, giving me a warmer feeling.”
“A child who was initially hesitant to even share their name when we started drawing activities later came to hold my hand, asked to take pictures together, climbed on me to jump, and was upset because they couldn’t eat at the same table with me. This made me think about how much heart and love we can share in such a short time.”
“After returning, I couldn’t begin to measure what wounds these children carry from their past, present, or future, but I found myself praying that they continue to share healthy minds and love through good relationships. I hope I remain a good memory for those children as their ‘big sister.’ I hope to have another opportunity to be with the children again!”
Master No Rae, who sponsors Evangel Children’s Home, served as the bridge between NRG Taekwondo and Hong Kong Elim Presbyterian Church again this year, following last year’s collaboration. Regarding his reasons for supporting ECH for multiple years, Master No explained, “When South Korea was poor in the past, there were missionaries who spared no love and care for that land, which is why South Korea exists as it is today and we can now live in an environment without lack.
Therefore, I believe we shouldn’t just end with what we’ve received, but should pass on the love we’ve received, which is why I sponsor these children. We don’t know what influence our taekwondo demonstration and praise dance shown today might have on these children in the future. Perhaps even one of these children might be touched and become a great person who passes on the love they received today. I hope that such a virtuous cycle of love continues.”
We hope that activities like this, where young adults can share their various gifts, will continue. We look forward to seeing how the precious hearts of these young adults toward the next generation will be conveyed to the children, continuing the virtuous cycle of love that Master No hopes for.
