Hong Kong: wongmeiyin, 2020. Second Edition. Numbered copies of 300. Softcover, saddled stitching. 《新的一天》是一本關於去年11月18日，黃先生的一個長夢。 初版於2020年1月印刷，由於印量只有50本，所以只能於少量的獨立書店發售。初版很快就賣光，我一直在遲疑應否重印，直到7月，國安法生效後，思前想後還是覺得有再版的必要。這次印量比初版多，共300本，希望這次可以把它帶到更多獨立書店、不同界別的讀者。最重要是希望能藉此小小誌，請大家記得：『2019年11月18日，中午開始，油尖旺一帶有大量聲援理大的示威者在街頭上進進退退，對抗了一整天。直到晚上11時，碧街突然出現大約十下巨響及閃光，警方同時以高速駕駛小巴向人群推進，多名示威者走避不及，於油麻地站附近發生人踩人事件及即場被捕。警方當日總共使用了7647發彈藥，當中包括3293發催淚彈，是單日使用催淚彈最多的一次。而當天的拘捕人數總共1071人，亦是整場抗爭之中最多的一天。』對我來說，2019年11月18日是非常沉重且難忘的一天，既然一直不能忘記，就有好好記住的必要。.
