【Joshua Wong speaking to the Italian Senate】#意大利國會研討會演說 —— 呼籲世界在大學保衛戰一週年後與香港人站在同一陣線
中文、意大利文演說全文:https://www.patreon.com/posts/44167118
感謝開創未來基金會(Fondazione Farefuturo)邀請,讓我透過視像方式在意大利國會裡舉辦的研討會發言,呼籲世界繼續關注香港,與香港人站在同一陣線。
意大利作為絕無僅有參與一帶一路發展的國家,理應對中共打壓有更全面的理解,如今正值大學保衛戰一週年,以致大搜捕的時刻,當打壓更為嚴峻,香港更需要世界與我們同行。
為了讓各地朋友也能更了解香港狀況,我已在Patreon發佈當天演說的中文、英文和意大利文發言稿,盼望在如此困難的時勢裡,繼續讓世界知道我們未曾心息的反抗意志。
【The Value of Freedom: Burning Questions for Hong Kongers】
Good morning. I have the privilege today to share some of my thoughts and reflections about freedom, after taking part in social activism for eight years in Hong Kong. A movement calling for the withdrawal of the extradition law starting from last year had escalated into a demand for democracy and freedom. This city used to be prestigious for being the world’s most liberal economy, but now the infamous authoritarian government took away our freedom to election, freedom of assembly, freedom of expression and ideas.
Sometimes, we cannot avoid questioning the cause we are fighting for, the value of freedom. Despite a rather bleak prospect, why do we have to continue in this struggle? Why do we have to cherish freedom? What can we do to safeguard freedom at home and stay alert to attacks on freedom? In answering these questions, I hope to walk through three episodes in the previous year.
Turning to 2020, protests are not seen as frequently as they used to be on the media lens, partly because of the pandemic, but more importantly for the authoritarian rule. While the world is busy fighting the pandemic, our government took advantage of the virus to exert a tighter grip over our freedom. Putting the emergency laws in place, public assemblies in Hong Kong were banned. Most recently, a rally to support press freedom organized by journalists was also forbidden. While many people may ask if it is the end of street activism, ahead of us in the fight for freedom is another battleground: the court and the prison.
Freedom Fighters in Courtrooms and in Jail
Part of the huge cost incurred in the fight for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong is the increasing judicial casualties. As of today, more than 10 thousand people have been arrested since the movement broke out, more than a hundred of them are already locked up in prison. Among the 2,300 protestors who are prosecuted, 700 of them may be sentenced up to ten years for rioting charges.
Putting these figures into context, I wish to tell you what life is like, as a youngster in today’s Hong Kong. I was humbled by a lot of younger protestors and students whose exceptional maturity are demonstrated in courtrooms and in prison. What is thought to be normal university life is completely out of the question because very likely the neighbour next door or the roommate who cooked you lunch today will be thrown to jail on the next.
I do prison visits a few times a month to talk to activists who are facing criminal charges or serving sentences for their involvement in the movement. It is not just a routine of my political work, but it becomes my life as an activist. Since the movement, prison visits has also become the daily lives of many families.
But it is always an unpleasant experience passing through the iron gates one after one to enter the visitors’ room, speaking to someone who is deprived of liberty, for a selflessly noble cause. As an activist serving three brief jail terms, I understand that the banality of the four walls is not the most difficult to endure in jail. What is more unbearable is the control of thought and ideas in every single part of our daily routine enforced by the prison system. It will diminish your ability to think critically and the worst of it will persuade you to give up on what you are fighting for, if you have not prepared it well. Three years ago when I wrote on the first page of prison letters, which later turned into a publication called the ‘Unfree Speech’, I was alarmed at the environment of the prison cell. Those letters were written in a state in which freedom was deprived of and in which censorship was obvious. It brings us to question ourselves: other than physical constraints like prison bars, what makes us continue in the fight for freedom and democracy?
Mutual Support to activists behind-the-scene
The support for this movement is undiminished over these 17 months. There are many beautiful parts in the movement that continue to revitalise the ways we contribute to this city, instead of making money on our own in the so-called global financial centre. In particular, it is the fraternity, the mutual assistance among protestors that I cherished the most.
As more protestors are arrested, people offer help and assistance wholeheartedly -- we sit in court hearings even if we don’t know each other, and do frequent prison visits and write letters to protesters in detention. In major festivals and holidays, people gathered outside the prison to chant slogans so that they won’t feel alone and disconnected. This is the most touching part to me for I also experienced life in jail.
The cohesion, the connection and bonding among protestors are the cornerstone to the movement. At the same time, these virtues gave so much empowerment to the mass public who might not be able to fight bravely in the escalating protests. These scenes are not able to be captured by cameras, but I’m sure it is some of the most important parts of Hong Kong’s movement that I hope the world will remember.
I believe this mutual support transcends nationality or territory because the value of freedom does not alter in different places. More recently, Twelve Hongkong activists, all involved in the movement last year, were kidnapped by China’s coastal guard when fleeing to Taiwan for political refugee in late-August. All of them are now detained secretly in China, with the youngest aged only 16. We suspect they are under torture during detention and we call for help on the international level, putting up #SAVE12 campaign on twitter. In fact, how surprising it is to see people all over the world standing with the dozen detained protestors for the same cause. I’m moved by activists in Italy, who barely knew these Hong Kong activists, even took part in a hunger strike last month calling for immediate release of them. This form of interconnectivity keeps us in spirit and to continue our struggle to freedom and democracy.
Understanding Value of freedom in the university battle
A year ago on this day, Hong Kong was embroiled in burning clashes as the police besieged the Polytechnic University. It was a day we will not forget and this wound is still bleeding in the hearts of many Hong Kongers. A journalist stationed in the university at that time once told me that being at the scene could only remind him of the Tiananmen Square Massacre 31 years ago in Beijing. There was basically no exit except going for the dangerous sewage drains.
That day, thousands of people, old or young, flocked to districts close to the university before dawn, trying to rescue protestors trapped inside the campus. The reinforcements faced grave danger too, for police raided every corner of the small streets and alleys, arresting a lot of them. Among the 800+ arrested on a single day, 213 people were charged with rioting. For sure these people know there will be repercussions. It is the conscience driving them to take to the streets regardless of the danger, the conscience that we should stand up to brutality and authoritarianism, and ultimately to fight for freedoms that are guaranteed in our constitution. As my dear friend, Brian Leung once said, ‘’Hong Kong Belongs to Everyone Who Shares Its Pain’’. I believe the value of freedom is exemplified through our compassion to whom we love, so much that we are willing to sacrifice the freedom of our own.
Defending freedom behind the bars
No doubt there is a terrible price to pay in standing up to the Beijing and Hong Kong government. But after serving a few brief jail sentences and facing the continuing threat of harassment, I learnt to cherish the freedom I have for now, and I shall devote every bit what I have to strive for the freedom of those who have been ruthlessly denied.
The three episodes I shared with you today -- the courtroom, visiting prisoners and the battle of university continue to remind me of the fact that the fight for freedom has not ended yet. In the coming months, I will be facing a maximum of 5 years in jail for unauthorized assembly and up to one ridiculous year for wearing a mask in protest. But prison bars would never stop me from activism and thinking critically.
I only wish that during my absence, you can continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, by following closely to the development, no matter the ill-fated election, the large-scale arrest under National Security Law or the twelve activists in China. To defy the greatest human rights abusers is the essential way to restore democracy of our generation, and the generation following us.

🌺Disney’s Bet on Mulan and the Economics of Streaming
《花木蘭》直接登上Disney+,這部要價近900元的電影能幫迪士尼賺錢嗎?
🏹In the latest pandemic-inspired Hollywood shake-up, Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday said it would offer its live-action remake of “Mulan” for sale Sept. 4 exclusively on its new streaming service, Disney+, at about $30 a pop, instead of in theaters as planned.
華特迪士尼公司4日表示,將於9月4日在其新的串流媒體服務Disney+獨家上線真人翻拍版電影《花木蘭》(Mulan),收費約30美元(約台幣880元),而不是按原計劃在電影院上映。這是新冠疫情引發的最新一項好萊塢變革。
-inspire: 刺激、引發
-remake: 翻拍
-a pop: 一張、一個,意思同 a piece
✍常見用法:tickets at $10 a pop 一張票10美元
🦜Other studios have moved movie premieres online in recent months—winning few friends among theater operators. But none has done so in this particular way, as a premium-priced add-on for streaming customers already paying a monthly fee for otherwise all-you-can-eat entertainment.
近幾個月來,其他電影公司也紛紛將影片首映搬到了網上,這種做法招致影廳營運商不滿。但迪士尼把這部電影作為附加服務提供給串流媒體用戶,且定價不低,這些用戶已經為套餐型娛樂服務支付每月訂閱費,到目前為止,還沒有一家電影公司採用過如此特別的方式在網路首映。
-翻譯技巧:“winning few friends among theater operators”
原句直譯為「在影廳營運商中贏得很少朋友」,太過直覺且不符合中文語境。此時我們可以換另一個角度思考原文想傳達什麼意思,將「贏得很少朋友」轉化為「招致不滿」,兼顧英文原意且更符合中文邏輯。
-premium-priced: 高訂價
✍常見用法:add/pay a premium 支付溢價、加價
🏮For now, though, it’s unclear whether Disney’s move was a one-time response to extenuating circumstances created by a global public-health crisis, as Chief Executive Bob Chapek suggested Tuesday on a conference call with Wall Street analysts, or a sign of things to come.
不過,目前尚不清楚迪士尼此舉是對全球公共衛生危機造成的特殊環境所做的一次性反應,還是未來模式的一個訊號。迪士尼首席執行長Bob Chapek 於4日在與華爾街分析師的電話會議上暗示是前者。
-one-time response: 一時反應
-extenuate: 減輕、緩和
-conference call, con-call: 電話會議
🥇Debuting a $200 million movie on a proprietary, premium video-on-demand service is without precedent, so there’s no clear way to estimate how online sales of Disney’s “Mulan” would stack up against a hypothetical run in theaters.
在專用的優質影片點播服務首映一部製作成本2億美元的電影是史無前例的,因此沒有明確方法來估算,若與假設的影院放映情況相比,《花木蘭》線上銷售情況會如何。
-proprietary: 專用的、專有的
-without precedent: 前無來者、史無前例,同 unprecedented
-stack up:累積、疊高,此處指「推動銷售量」
未完待續⋯⋯⋯

"Passion makes perfect" -- Curtis Jackson aka 50cents
中年嘻哈歌手的智慧不容小覷,感覺會成為我今年推薦書籍!
務實,紀律,敬業,不煙不酒,建立團隊文化,不斷學新東西,閱讀歷史思考現在,這一切好像跟在阿嬤家門口被人家射了九槍沒死的嘻哈歌手扯不上關係。但閱讀 50cent (中文翻譯 “五角”)自己的故事和他的做人和領導哲學,真的是很驚喜也很佩服。
對於一個青少年時期就在紐約皇后區街頭買毒品,後來因著音樂成名的人來說,他一直以為自己活到40歲,不是被槍殺就是已經在監獄裡面了。他怎麼也沒想到因著想要更好的心態,還有許多人的正面影響,中年的他不但沒有沉寂下來,反而事業再創新高 (美國以外可能比較不知道,他成功地轉型跨足電視製作,品牌,投資,還有聯合國食物贊助)。
從書本章節可以看出大概輪廓:
- Finding fearlessness 不讓害怕主導你
- Heart of a hustler 打拼者的心態
- Constructing your crew 建立你的班底
- Knowing your value 看清自己的價值
- Evolve or die 進化或是死亡
- Power of perception 形象的力量
- If we can't be friends 如果做不成朋友
- Learning from your Ls 從你的的失敗中學習
- The entitlement trap “覺得世界總是欠你” 的危險玻璃心
他跨足江湖(Street) 以及企業界(corporate world) 兩邊,適時用兩種不同的心態遊刃有餘。有時需要江湖做法的嘻哈歌手 50cent, 有時又需要當精明談判商人 Curtis Jackson。聽他的說明會覺得這個人真的很聰明也很厲害。他大部分的見解和建議我都滿認同的,不過不知道是否因為跟前女友關係搞得很僵,所以講到婚姻家庭好像有點偏頗,就不完全認同他這方面的看法 (到底是被多少拜金的惹到.....)
"Hustle" 這個字有點難翻譯成中文,大概就是努力幹活,常被用在賣毒品,或是搞副業 (side hustle)。他的書名基本上還是講到他們在街頭那種為求生存的努力,他認為那應該是值得尊敬的,不管到人生什麼階段都不該覺得自己不用再努力成長。書本最後一章還講到他認為很多美國人都理所當然認為自己該過好日子,反而在亞洲 (他有提到台灣喔!)大家都很敬業努力,而去了一趟非洲肯亞更讓他意識的自己還滿幸運的,也讓他願意投入聯合國食物計畫,希望自己被後人記住是他幫助了多少人。
"Age isnt about the year you're born, its about how you approach the year you're in right now. If you're open to new experiences, willing to take chances, and curious about new topics, you're young...if youre setting your ways, aren't interested in trying new things, or think you've already learned all there is to know, then you're old, in fact, you're dying."
(年齡不是你出生的年份,而是你面對現在的態度。如果你對新的體驗保持開放,願意冒險,對新的事物充滿好奇心,那就表示你很年輕。如果你不願意改變任何做法,不想嘗試新事物,或是覺得自己都很懂沒有什麼比要再學習,那就表示你老了,更正確的說,你正在邁向死亡)
