陳生嘅「另一個家」
响2014年1月,英國倫敦Kingston University向陳生頒發榮譽博士學位,之後佢接受外國傳媒訪問,講到以下呢番說話,
"it's like the other home...I won't say the second home because I spent most of my time in Hong Kong, where my family is and all my friends are there. I just feel more comfortable when I'm standing by the Thames or go to a park somewhere and tasting the air. It's just really, really relaxing."
(雖然我自己、家人同朋友大部份時間响香港,唔能夠講話英國係第二個屋企,但呢度就好似我另一個家,因為企响泰晤士河旁或者置身是但一個公園,就算吸一口空氣都覺得非常非常輕鬆。)
太多人講陳生,唔想參與太多,因為已經唔能夠理解,為何要對藝人甚至國際品牌有特別嘅政治、種族或者道德期望。
反而唔知咩原因,明明陳生個「另一個家」 - 好多人稱之為沒落廢國,萬惡嘅殖民地帝國主義老祖宗 - 擺明有份制裁欺負,亦係最先立法禁止有人道問題國家原材料嘅西方霸權之一("Genocide Amendment"係呢個星期嘅事),點解反而濕身最少?
睇見各大品牌或者藝人輪流「支持新疆綿」,只能夠慨歎帝國沒落,人材凋零,廢同窮,既無乜大牌,又無乜名星有能力同歐美爭入強大市場(數黎數去都嗰三兩個),邊有資格出聲?連被「反制」嘅機會都沒有,「睇我唔到,睇我唔到」 ...

second amendment 在 李怡 Facebook 的最讚貼文
The silent revolution (Lee Yee)
Before democrats’ primaries, except for one or two Hong Kong government officials jibber-jabbering sporadically, major bureaucrats from Beijing and Hong Kong had been very reticent about it. But afterward, Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government and Carrie Lam denounced in tandem that the primaries were a breach of the Basic Law, the National Security Law as well as the electoral law, yet without uttering which article of them. Why? Perhaps it was due to another wrongly projected scenario by the Chinese Communist Party. In view of the media being nonchalant about the primaries and Tai Yiuting being unconfident in drawing in one-tenth of the pro-democracy electorate(170 thousand voters), they had thought that citizens were apathetic towards the primaries. If that was what it all amounted to, there was nothing to worry about, and they would surely be glad to see it end in fiasco.
Who would have thought that as many as 610 thousand voters who had kept a low profile would have swarmed the polling stations to take the whole world aback? Though the communist China and Hong Kong hastily took remedial actions right away, it was already too late. The primaries already shocked the world.
A wise young man has called on me lately. He put forward a few questions, the first of which was: Which four among all major events in the past year including 6.9, 6.12, 6.16, 7.1, 7.21, 8.31, siege to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Polytechnic University do you pick to best encapsulate the entire course of the movement?
My answer was: Being a watcher and critic, I’m far from being able to encapsulate the entire movement, but since the start of the anti-extradition movement, there have been a lot of incidents boggling my mind, or more specifically getting me awakened, while changing my perceptual knowledge thoroughly.
The first event is 6.12. Before that day, I had not believed the extradition amendment bill would be laid aside for the communist China and Hong Kong’s resolve was so decided and the pro-establishment faction, the majority in the Legislative Council, had declared support for it, not to mention the government proclaimed on the night right after the 6.9 one million people demonstration that the Second Reading debate on the bill would be resumed. I was concerned about the safety of the protesters who charged, and deemed the radical behaviors useless. Though I understood why the young people did so, I did not find the valiant attempts in the protests desirable. After 6.12, my conception has altered and the five appeals put forward since have been prevailing.
The second event is 6.28. Nothing happened in Hong Kong that day when leaders of various countries converged for G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. Less than a week before, some young people had advocated crowdfunding 3 million dollars for advertising on front pages of influential newspapers in different languages all around the world. Fundraising aside, based on my half-a-century experience in news publication, it is hardly possible to pull it off. But they did it jaw-droppingly well beyond doubt. Even though the leaders of G20 did not react forthwith, the global attention being drawn to Hong Kong and the Hong Kong’s story being ushered into the international arena by the advertisement are indisputable facts. The thought-provoking courage of the young people reshaped my appraisal of the new generation of Hong Kong.
The third event is 7.21+8.31. This two-in-one incident totally transmuted my impression on Hong Kong police. Citizens come into contact with police officers more than any civil servants. The complexion of the police is the complexion of the city. When police officers become public security officers, Hong Kong becomes a place I am no longer familiar with.
The forth event is siege to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Polytechnic University plus the District Council election. Before the District Council voting, young people had kept on charging valiantly with support from the public, and some citizens had complained about traffic inconvenience caused by the protests. When the day of election was nearing, the society was surprisingly peaceful. Would ordinary citizens, mostly self-absorbed, support the protest? In the end, the turnout and results of the election were dumb-founding. The misjudgement by communist China and Hong Kong became laughingstock. The Chinese officials in charge of Hong Kong affairs stepped down or got demoted.
Every time my mind was boggled, I came at something in one way or another and was somehow awakened through self-reflection. Looking at the primaries of democrats under the threat of the National Security Law, I realized that Hong Kongers on the whole have completely mutated in the past year. All the events that all citizens can take part have been undergoing fundamental changes. Those who keep a low profile will creep into our view to take us aback.
A silent revolution is ongoing. There is no turning back for Hong Kong. When Hong Kongers reminisce about the current “darkest hour” in future, they will find out that in fact that was the “best time”.

second amendment 在 浩爾譯世界 Facebook 的精選貼文
【浩爾不列顛:
英國人的魔法關鍵字】
說到英國
你心中浮現的關鍵字是什麼呢?
我對英國的印象是:
霧都 City of Fog
英式口音 British accent
和英國脫歐 Brexit
延續生蠔卡的莎士比亞浪漫
https://bit.ly/2LM8Ikk
在一週的英國自由行中
我大部分所見所聞
都與過去的想像有些差距
想知道文化底蘊深厚的英國
究竟埋藏了什麼秘密嗎?
接下來歡迎大家
進入我的英國感知世界
一起呼吸最真實的英倫氣息
-
1. #霧都 City of Fog
我們對煙霧繚繞的倫敦
都會有無法抗拒的浪漫想像
總是穿梭在晨霧間
神出鬼沒的名偵探福爾摩斯
Sherlock Holmes
或是英國人不撐傘的灑脫
認真體會雨天的憂鬱
但,你知道嗎?
其實倫敦會有霧都之稱
是源自19世紀
英國工業發展的嚴重空汙
當時甚至會用 #豌豆湯 pea souper
去比喻空氣又黃又綠的空氣品質
到了現代已經大獲改善!
實際走在倫敦街頭
並沒有感受到特別的霧氣
另外雖然英國人雨天時不常撐傘
但我發現 #風衣 Trench coat
才是他們普遍用來禦寒防雨的工具
其實注重的是便利性
和灑脫好像沒什麼關係XD
2. 英式口音 British accent
大多數人對英國腔
會有某種程度的迷戀與喜好
我到倫敦時還蠻驚訝
在這裏反而聽不太到標準英國腔!
因為在倫敦
幾乎都是 #北漂的異鄉人
大部分是從歐陸地區
Continental Europe
印度、或像我們一樣從亞洲來的
大家講話都自帶口音
相處上不會有太多的預期
和美國相比,歧視問題相對較少
多元文化組成兼容並蓄的倫敦
有點像英語世界的北京!
3. 英國脫歐 Brexit
英國脫歐 Brexit
是由英國 Britain 和撤出 exit
所組成的混成詞 portmanteau
指英國脫離歐洲聯盟
從2016年舉辦的脫歐公投
Brexit 開始成為國際上的熱門議題
那在英國當地,他們怎麼看呢?
Brexit 絕對是
英國人的 #魔法關鍵字
就像我們在美國聊第二修正法案
Second Amendment
就會提到槍枝管制
You can think about
the universal icebreaker.
這是在英國很好用的破冰話題
但要以不帶立場
handle with care 的方式詢問
才能聽到對方真實的想法
如果用太強烈的理念
就會引來非常激烈的爭辯!
-
從 City of Fog
還有 British accent 到 Brexit
你對英國的印象改變了嗎?
如果有更多想了解英國的地方
再跟我說吧!
#留言處以圍巾替代風衣
#英國腔迷人卻不會感到壓力
#善用魔法關鍵字晉升破冰大王
