2021 Matters Annual Questionnaire | Farewell, lie down, meet, turn... What are your keywords for the year?

In December 2019, the Matters annual questionnaire was launched for the first time.

At that time, the COVID-19 epidemic was already lurking but had not yet broken out. "Sports," "cutting seats," and "tearing apart" were the key words in that year's questionnaire. In 2019, we witnessed the fall of a city. Many people's lives were involved in the storm, torn down and scattered.

In December 2020, the epidemic broke out across the world and lasted for a whole year. "Epidemic" is the keyword of the 2020 questionnaire. Isolation, farewell, and panic have become the norm in 2020. We struggle to maintain the order of our lives and pray that the disaster will go away.

Up to now, after three turbulent years, the epidemic is still there, the floating city has come to fruition, we have gone through these tears and collisions that were unimaginable three years ago, and we are about to enter the new year.

In December 2021, how will you record the year you have gone through?

Many writers participate in each year's questionnaire. This year, we will engrave these records and resonance moments into Travellogger’s Logbook and store them on the chain as a commemoration.

Thank you to all citizens for your companionship and support over the past year. I wish everyone safety and health in the upcoming 2022.
