After nearly three years of operation, letter-writing platform Fung Sun Ji to cease operations in October
運作近三年 寫信詩平台封信子十月停止運作
Established by several “letter writers” in September 2021, the social platform Fung Sun Ji has spent nearly three years not only writing to prisoners, but also finding “pen pals” for prisoners with fewer social contacts and mailing letters on behalf of other letter writers. The platform announced on Instagram today that it will cease operations on October 31 this year, asking people to “make use of the time to exchange contact details with pen pals for communication in the future”. It has also notified prisoners by letter that those still seeking pen pals must contact the platform by the end of August.
由數名「寫信師」在 21 年 9 月成立的社交平台「封信子」，過去近三年除了寫信予在囚人士，亦持續為社會聯系較少的在囚者徵「筆友」和代其他寫信師寄信。 他們今日在 IG 宣布，封信子將於今年 10 月 31 日停止運作，「請把握時間同筆友交換聯絡方法以便日後通信」，他們亦已以書信通知在囚人若，若有在囚者仍想徵求筆友，需於8 月底前聯絡他們。
