What happens after you scan

  1. Tap Add. Adding the friend publishes nothing.
  2. Say hello, or begin the story. A hello is answered with a short introduction, then a question about where you want to start. If your LINE name matches a page already in the archive, you will be asked once whether that page is you. Answer yes or no. A wrong yes puts the story on the wrong family.
  3. Leave what you have. A few sentences. A voice message, the way you would leave one for a cousin. A photo of a bulletin, a funeral program, or a class picture. Chinese or English. One story is enough: a parent's arrival, your own church, a name that should not be lost.
  4. If you ask who someone is, you get a short note from the archive and the link to that page. It is a conversation, not a form.
  5. What you send is kept by the Society. It does not appear on the public page that night. A public page waits until you agree, and until the Society writes it with the source beside it. A voice recording often mishears a name. It will ask, not guess.

掃碼之後

  1. 點加入。只加入,還沒有公開任何事。
  2. 打一聲招呼,或直接說故事。打招呼會得到一句自我介紹,然後問想從哪一段說起。若 LINE 上的名字對上檔案裡的一頁,會問一次「是你嗎?」要回答是或不是。答錯,故事會記到別人的家。
  3. 用自己方便的方式留下。幾句話。一段語音,像留給表弟的留言。一張週報、追思程序、或畢業照。中文或英文都可以。一段就夠。父母怎麼來的、自己的教會、一個不該散掉的名字。
  4. 若問「某人是誰」,會從檔案裡回一段短記,並附上那一頁。這是談話,不是表格。
  5. 送來的內容由本會保存。當晚不會出現在公開頁上。要等本人同意,本會才寫進公開頁,出處放在旁邊。語音常把名字聽錯。它會再問,不會猜。

沒有 LINE 的人,寫信到 tahistoricalsociety@gmail.com,並寫明要放在誰的頁上。
