A game that expects only passive listening from the players is called ‘Dialogue’. Video Game penetrates the facade of the so-called dialogue and foregrounds the power inequality between the interlocutors. It can be seen as a metaphor of the futility of Hong Kong striving to voice its opinion in the 1997 handover negotiation.

This is included in a VHS collection of films and videos by Danny Yung, entitled Question,Problem (1977-1996). Produced by Videotage in late 1990s.
命名為「對話」的遊戲，卻只能聽從對方發號施令，而且從一開始就鐵定要輸。權力懸殊，溝通只是徒勞。作品隱然折射香港回歸前夕，在談判桌上爭一席之難，港人自身的聲音終被中英雙方壓下。時至今日，這種以柔懷對話作包裝的壓制依然籠罩香港。
