［過去與未來］（六之三）

國安法第一審唐英傑案，專家證人解釋「光復香港。時代革命」的作供進入了一個新階段。控方專家作供後，辯方向自家邀請的學者提出問題。今天較後時間，代表律政司的主控官向辯方專家學者提出盤問，雙方攻防火花四起，加上法官們的提問，法庭裡關於歷史、學術、法理辯論，討論層面甚廣。

代表律政司的署理刑事檢控專員周天行，在早上較後時間，開始向港大政治及公共行政學系教授李詠怡提問。周天行戴着金屬框眼鏡，右手長期拿着原子筆，在擱在木架上的滿有螢光筆筆跡的文件上做筆記。每問畢一條問題，就會動手在文件上寫一點東西。

港大教授李詠怡(Eliza)這天穿了灰色線衫上衣，在上面加穿黑色西裝外套，她表情不多，語調大部份時間平穩，但有些時候，還是會表現出驚訝的語氣。

法庭是個講究用字精準的地方，然而當周天行以司法常用英語詞彙向社會科學背景的Eliza發問，雙方已經就問題的用詞爭辯起來。

周：「光時口號，梁天琦是創作者(creator)？」Eliza強調， “creator”只適用於聖經形容創造天地的上帝，但漠視了梁天琦參選之前，『光復」二字已經在社會上有人使用，故她認為應稱梁為 “improviser”(有二次創作的意思，或在前人的根基上再創作的含意)。

周：「Does slogans represent political agenda?」(口號是否代背後有政治議程?) Political Agenda可解作一些潛在政治訴求。

Eliza追問：「甚麼叫represent?」周天行於是提出兩個詞語代替represent. “regarded” “considered”. Eliza有點莫名奇妙，她回應道：「口號是口號，政治議程是政治議程，兩件事是不同的。」這個問題最後不了了之。

在重點主題上，雙方糾纏良久。例如有一段，討論到「主權Regime」這個主題。周天行前請Eliza回答香港是否中華人民共和國一部份，Eliza答是。

周專員再追問：「若我問妳，要從中華人民共和國中去光復主權，是否代表必然要推翻政權？(To reclaim the sovereignty from the PRC, does it necessarily mean to overthrow the Regime?)」

三位法官之中兩位，陳嘉信和杜麗冰均追問周專員:「那一個政權(Which Regime)？」周專員垂頭找文件約六秒，再說：「香港的政權。」

Eliza回答道：「這條問題很混淆，香港從來都不是獨立國家，何來主權？又何以光復？而且Regime在政治學上不只解作政體，也可用在經濟或貿易概念上。你問的『光復香港主權』和『推翻香港政權』是兩回事，我不知道怎樣把兩者放一起。」

周專員用十二秒再找筆記，改為問，即是把香港從中華人民共和國分割出來。Eliza回答：「『推翻政權』又和『分裂香港出來』是兩回事。香港從來都不是主權國，怎樣去恢復其主權呢？實在有點荒謬（absurd）.」

Eliza說：「我有點被混淆，這裡有不一致之處。『光復』是關於『過去』，想回到一個舊的狀態；而『港獨』是『未來式』，我不知道如何把兩者放在一起。」

周再指，若說話的人從來不接受香港是中國一部份呢？Eliza指：「這裡要涉及太多假設，才達致你所說的總結，對我來說 doesn’t make sense。」

過去，將來，今天的審訊，又再把法庭變成時光機，從1360年的元朝，再拉到近代中國史的文革，再提及到香港殖民地時代，再回到近年香港社會運動的脈絡。

上周五，辯方報告裡提及元順帝因為想花費修建皇宮，被臣子勸阻，稱要「光復祖宗之業」，Eliza指，元順帝說此話時仍在帝位，故認為「光復」不一定涉及推翻政權。

周專員今天追問Eliza，知否元順帝說這話的背景，正是元朝「紅巾軍」把蒙古皇宮燒毁，元順帝覺得失去了「上都」（今內蒙古多倫西北，其中一個首都）感到羞辱，故「光復」是涉及祖宗國土之爭。

Eliza則認為，陳祖仁作為臣子寫此段文字，一直讀下去，並不是談及實質國土的失去，「業、大業、功業，不只是關於國土和政權，而是古時皇帝與皇朝如何看待皇帝正當性，就是作為天道承繼者，那個授權不只是談及土地，而是那個皇帝做了甚麼事跡。」Eliza說，她看了整篇古典，認為很清楚文中不「只是」談國土喪失。

然而，周專員曾經挑戰Eliza對中國歷史的理解。Eliza說，她在中學有讀中史科，但在大學副修世界歷史。周專員堅持要問：「妳有無正統的中國歷史訓練。」

Eliza反駁：「如果你想說，我只有中三程度的中史學識，我不會同意你的說法。作為學者，特別是研究香港政治的學者，我們常要去參考中國歷史，因為香港很多的發展和中史有緊密關連。我懂得看寫中文亦會讀文言文，作為學者我有能力去理解中史。」

周堅持要問：「我問正統的中史訓練。」Eliza如此回應：「如果你硬要這樣問（If that’s how you like to put it.）我沒有教過中國歷史科，我博士研究也不是中國歷史，你可以說我『正規中史訓練是到中三』」。

而作為控方專家的嶺大歷史系教授劉智鵬，今天打了紫藍色的間條領呔，整天坐在控方律師後，聽到他同意的觀點，有幾次認同地點頭。

劉智鵬曾經在他的報告中提及「革命」可以參考「文化大革命」之使用，是「文革」與「政治層面」有關聯的例證。然而Eliza卻反駁，「文化大革命不涉及政權更替，中華人民共和國沒有被推翻或被取代。」

專員此時拿出一份來自中華人民共和國中央人民政府官方網站的文件。文件名為《關於建國以來黨的若干歷史問題的決議》，文件於1981年公佈，為內地官方對文革定性的文件。

周專員把文件較後幾處，談及文革三個階段節錄，以英語讀出。文件內容節錄為：「林彪、江青、康生、張春橋等人主要利用所謂『中央文革小組』名義乘機煽動『打倒一切、全面內戰』；林彪反革命集團陰謀奪取最高權力、策動反革命武裝變的事件。這是『文化大革命』推翻黨的一系列基本原則的結果，客觀上宣告了『文革』理論的實踐的失敗。毛澤東、周恩來同志機智地粉碎了這次叛變。」

周專員繼續以英語朗讀：「在發現江青等人借機進行篡權活動以後，對他們作了嚴厲批評，宣佈他們是『四人幫』；1976年毛澤東同志逝世，江青反革命集團加緊奪取黨和國家最高領導權的陰謀活動。十月上旬，中央政治局執行黨和人民的意志，毅然粉碎了江青反革命集團，結束了『文革』這場災難。」

「煽動」、「內戰」、「奪取最高權力」、「叛變」、「篡權」等英文翻譯，由周專員讀了出來，在香港高等法院的一庭空氣中飄揚。

周專員讀畢，問，這份文件，與如何理解「革命」這詞，有關聯嗎？

Eliza深呼吸了一口氣，慢慢回答：「你知道關於『文革』這課題，曾經有多少人出版了多少本專門的書籍，有多少人研究過？我認為要小心使用這資料。」

周追問下去：「這份資料有相關性嗎？」糾纏一會，Eliza答，「我不會改變我原來的看法（關於文革不是關於政權更替）。周再追問下去：「那妳認為文件那一部份不合乎事實或不準確？」

此時，法官彭寶琴插嘴：「周先生，你要再修正你的問題。」法官杜麗冰接下去：「李教授（即Eliza）沒機會從頭到尾看全份文件，她怎回答你？」彭寶琴再說：「她這方面的意見也不太有相關性。」關於文革的討論，就此打住。

另一個有火花的議題，就是關於在光復社區示威中，有示威者拿着殖民時代的港英旗揮舞。Eliza指出，她沒有訪問過拿旗的人，不能知道每個人心裡想甚麼，但以她的閱讀（decoding），揮旗的人對香港2010年初的狀態不太滿意，想把香港恢復到以前的社會秩序。

杜麗冰法官追問：「回到殖民時期統治？」Eliza回應：「或許是那種生活方式。」杜官接着問：「那是一樣的（統治和生活方式），想回到殖民地的生活，和回到英屬殖民地是一樣的。」

Eliza說，她不同意。「我猜測，人們對殖民地時代一些東西懷念，或許是經濟結構，文化符號，我不知道。例如1997年7月1日，香港由殖民地變成香港特區，在社會、文化、經濟上，不是突然產生巨變。」

Eliza以社科學者概念再重申：「想回復英治殖民地，和香港獨立是兩個不能共容的概念。」

陳官追問：「恢復殖民地不是必然從中華人民共和國分割出來嗎？」劉智鵬專家此時在座上點頭。陳官再說，即使他同意Eliza所說，但邏輯上不是不通嗎？

Eliza再表示：「在狹義上及技術上可以說是，但法理上甚麼是分離主義，並不是我的專長範圍。我會問，香港要回到殖民統治，現實上可能性是零，故此我認為，揮旗者是要表達他們對現況的不滿。」

三位法官，此時先後兩次把座椅退後商議。陳官表示他要「收回『同意李教授』言論的說話，而且這句話，亦不代表我們三名法官的看法。」然而不久，三官表示要休庭20分鐘。休庭後，陳官澄清他對Eliza證供的理解，並請她再詳細解釋。

Eliza表示：「這裡涉及三件事。一。殖民地時代的生活方式；二。殖民時代的政體；三。追求港獨。而我認為，二。和三。基本上有矛盾。」意思是，兩個訴求是不能同時並行的。

Eliza亦補充，控方專家劉教授曾指「香港自治運動」是「港獨運動」，她想澄清，「以我所知，香港自治運動是受到曾任嶺大助理教授的陳雲著作《香港城邦論》啟發，陳雲一度為該組織做過advisor，後來離開了，但他們不是追求港獨，而是追求保護香港的政治、經濟、文化，支持『一國兩制』框架和原則，追求高度自治，只是覺得一國兩制實踐起來不及他們期望。」

盤問到了最後，周天行專員花了長時間，追問在光復行動中，一些示威者拿着或喊過的口號，例如「驅逐支那罪犯」「大陸人番大陸」等。周專員指，示威活動中，明顯有「反中共」及「支持港獨」成份，問Eliza是否認同「光復」二字意思，要參考這些「客觀事實」。

Eliza說：「我要強調，這些活動中的確出現了很敵意的行為，對內地遊客和水貨客，而水貨客亦不只有內地人，也有香港人從事水貨活動。示威裡，有語言暴力(verbally abusive)，很強敵意(very hostile)，我認為這些口號很不恰當，富侮辱性，甚至涉及歧視(racist)。」

Eliza指，但示威遊行裡，參加的人多樣。她舉例七一遊行，每年遊行有不同訴求的人在其中，包括性工作者，性小眾，宗教團體，甚至乎外傭，示威者之間的訴求不必然一樣，甚至可以有矛盾。故此，她堅持認為，社區的光復行動，主要訴求是關於公共空間秩序問題。

陳官追問，照片裡有人舉起「恢復英港。建立港人政府」口號，如何解讀？

Eliza答：「字面可解作『恢復英治時代香港』，但我們要問，這句不夠具體，『港人政府』究竟是指，『香港人由香港人去領導』(government led by Hong Kong people)，還是『香港人的政府』（government of the HK people）？」

Eliza說：「如此這般，表達意思不明。而很多示威者都有點『詞不達意』(not coherent), 他們也不太清楚自己想要甚麼，但他們憤懣很大，就弄一點東西出來表達一下。」

周專員沒有放棄去追問，為何光復社區的示威者要舉港英旗幟。他問Eliza：「妳說示威者有不滿，所以去舉旗。但他們為何一定要舉旗，他們可以找渠道去投訴呀，例如向立法會議員申訴。」此時，旁聽席爆出笑聲。

Eliza再解釋：「示威的作用，就是向政府發放訊息，表達民間訴求，他們為何不向立法會議員求助，我不知道。」

經過了2019年和2020年，香港的街道，示威活動幾近絕跡；而立法會選舉，民主派議員亦在DQ潮下集體請辭，多個議員相継被控及入獄，而立法會選舉辦法亦大幅修改，按中央及港府宣傳，這是「完善選舉制度」。明天李詠怡教授會繼續作供。

［記於香港戒嚴日常］

沒有明言是戒嚴，但實質便是了。而且更可怕。黑警隨意上巴士，地鐵各種交通工具，私人屋苑商場濫捕市民。亂打市民亂搜身。

昨日我回母校開舊生大會，門口附近有30 防暴幾架警車，老師立刻提醒大家離開時要千萬小心。眾人包括我都緊張，有舊生說等一下一起繞後路走。
這便是普通市民見到警方的反應！有警察便有暴力濫權，阻你行街一言不合便拘捕甚至毆打等各種不合理之事。擾民之極。
好離譜。大家都好驚見到情緒失控不守法濫權濫刑又無法追究投訴的黑警。

「車，你好人好姐無犯法驚咩」是不少藍絲或撐警者的一直以來的口頭禪。但兩個多月以來，幾多街坊穿校服的學生被打至頭破血流被無理拘捕。
麗晶花園居民返自己屋企都被捕。簡直荒謬。
現在香港是警暴城市，無限時宵禁戒嚴。

我們大班舊生只不過回母校聚舊開會，但警方這兩個月的胡作非為，已經令人心惶惶。是啊，我們守法怕什麼。但你跟不守法，知法犯法，濫用權力的有牌爛仔警暴講法，會有用嗎？

起初撤回逃犯修訂條例，是香港人不相信中共貪污與毫無法治。
想堅守香港的獨立法治與言論自由。

香港現在還未送中，甚至柒婆林鄭剛說撤回條例，但過去兩個月，香港的淪陷是過去二十年的總和。在香港發生的一切警方暴力，已跟中共沒甚麼兩樣。

林鄭一方面以退為進，欺騙外媒，希望攪散運動甚至美國人權法案，一方面繼續高壓打壓示威者。甚至今日的機場行動，警暴繼續恐嚇騷擾遊客。
到底黑警有什麼權力不讓市民坐巴士地鐵？以涉嫌違反什麼的罪名隨意趕人下車命令市民在公眾地方打開行李箱？

我連坐巴士去東涌的自由竟然都沒有？
對，在現在的港共政權下，香港人的確這樣的自由都沒有。坐巴士都要冒被捕的風險。

星期一台灣友人來港轉機，想出來玩一天。很感謝他在這樣的時勢下還願意花一天出來看看香港，他說維港很美他想去。
可惜現在警暴什麼荒唐無理的事都能做得出來，我怕他回不去機場接下一班機。香港戒嚴，跟很多第三世界戰地差不多，跟他說還是不要出來為妙。我沒有信心可以保證他們的安全。這是何其悲哀憤怒傷心的心情。是啊，本來維港很美。 可惜我們現在只能以淚目模糊的眼光去看，這個不知道還能維持多久的美麗海港。

另外，831 太子事件，無記者真空兩小時，雖港台說已查出三名傷者下落；但憑黑警過去所作所為，消防署口供又改來改去，唔好意思，我唔信。寧願炒車，希望手足無事。
而事件其實橫跨9月1號，港鐵應該原原本本將831 至整段封站時期的cctv都保留與公開才是！怕是已有關鍵時刻被隱藏煙滅。

而當日較早前在維園，發現疑有陀槍警員扮成示威者，甚至開真槍。其實極為嚴重危險，一定要追究。太子無故封站極可疑，疑有人以此發大來攪再蓋過所有焦點。
兩單都要繼續追。

外地的朋友們，我特意用書面語好好寫（最近好中意用廣東話寫野哈哈），希望你們明白，為什麼香港人不接受前幾天的假撤回。我們沒有贏啊。

由反送中翻起的巨浪，將潛藏已久的黑暗腐爛全揭開，環環相扣，所以是五大訴求，缺一不可！

Worse than the Martial Law: Hong Kong has become a police state, trampling of personal freedom will become a common phenomenon

Chitchat Philosophy:
"I would like to make a statement to everyone here. The consequences of police’s abuse of force may be far severe than the implementation of the martial law by the government, and would pose devastating consequences to the daily lives of Hong Kongers. But why?

When the martial law is imposed, the extreme measures/actions will taken by the police force, and the foundation of their power comes from the official announcement of the government stating that the society has fallen into a state of chaos, and hence granting more power for the police to stabilize the society. When order is restored, the power of the police would be revoked.
But what does it imply when the police display absurd level of violence without bearing any consequences even the martial law is not imposed? It means that all the actions executed by the police would set a precedent on what would be seen as “normal” and “a common phenomenon” in the future.

Up until now, Hong Kong police could unreasonably inspect, arrest and beat up citizens. They could patrol in major public traffic interchange, metro stations, outsides secondary schools to monitor students. And all of these actions could be understood as “normal” and “regular measures”.

As of today, the personal freedom of Hong Kong citizens will be seriously infringed. Because such infringement and violation of freedom are not granted under legal basis or regular procedures, it implies that Hong Kongers would have to suffer from such a “common phenomenon”. They would live under the terror of the abuse of power and violence by the police, and are unable to investigate into the situation and hold the police accountable under the current system.

Carrie Lam would not dare implement martial law because the government is unwilling to bear the consequences of such a measure, such as rocking the economy which further angers the general public. Therefore she chose to allow Hong Kong fall into anarchy, turning a blind eye and hence allowing the police to do whatever they want.

Because there are no regular procedures, the police do not have to be accountable for any legal responsibilities. Because Carrie Lam avoids the responsibility of being judged by history for her crimes under the name of the government, she has destroyed the rule of law and basis of regulations, and turned Hong Kong to a police state. The consequences of her actions are devastating."

〈完美的一天 A Perfect Day〉

尋日（2019年7月21日）爭少少就係完美嘅一天。
It is almost a perfect day yesterday (21 July 2019).
我係一個普通嘅香港市民，八十後、基督徒、亦係天水圍人，尋日係星期日，我如常同太太出返九龍區嘅教會返崇拜，食完個晏就同太太同朋友去咗尖沙咀行街，之後喺海運戲院睇《反斗奇兵4》，然後食完飯就坐西鐵返屋企。

I am a normal Hong Kong citizen. Born in the 80's, a Christian who lives in Tin Shui Wai. Yesterday was a normal Sunday. I went back to church to join the worship with my wife in Kowloon, joined our friends for lunch in Tsim Sha Tsui, watched Toy Story 4 at the Grand Ocean cinema, and went back home after dinner by West Rail.

大約晚上十點幾喺柯士甸站上西鐵，上咗西鐵一切都好平常，直到接近十一點左右去到元朗站，月台上面傳來大叫「有人受傷、需要支援」嘅呼叫聲，而列車亦因為混亂無法開車，我就落咗去大堂睇一睇發生咩事，老婆留咗喺車廂入面。原來大堂果度一班喺閘入面嘅人已經開緊遮，佢哋俾一班閘外面身穿白色tee裇嘅人以木棍、水樽、棒球棍襲擊緊，出唔到閘。我最初觀察白衫人大約有四五十人左右，都係中年，亦有較年長嘅，識講廣東話粗口，兇神惡煞，非常激動。

At about 10pm, we were at the Austin Station, everything looked normal in the West Rail train. Our train arrived at Yuen Long Station just before 11pm, we heard a screaming, "Someone's hurt, we need backups!", and our train was stopped because of this confusion. I asked my wife to stay in the train, while I got off and went down to the station lobby to see what happened. Inside the gate, there were people holding their umbrellas up, defending from a group of gangsters who were all wearing white-shirts, attacking people inside the gate with wooden sticks, water bottles and baseball bats. People were trapped inside. There were around 40 to 50 white-shirt gangsters, mainly in their middle-aged, some were even older, shouted fiercely in Cantonese foul languages with agitation.

閘內地下留有鮮血血跡，我亦望到遠處閘外大堂有一名傷者受傷倒地，不斷俾白衫人凶緊，因為情況太危險我就無出閘幫手。我本身後退緊，打算上返車廂，就喺呢個時候閘內嘅市民突然全部退後，一湧而來，部份人衝入廁所，其他人就喺我身邊經過衝上扶手電梯梯同樓梯上月台，打算入車廂。

There were fresh blood stains on the floor inside the gate. Outside the gate not far away, there was someone injured, lying down on the floor, constantly threatening by a white-shirt gangster. I did not go out and help him due to the dangerous situation and I tended to go back up to the train. At that very moment, people inside the gate were suddenly moved back towards me. Some rushed into the washroom, others ran passed me and dashed to the platform through the escalators and staircase, and planned to reach the train for safety.

我見身邊有人跌倒，想幫又幫唔到手。然後白衫人已經殺到埋身，我正準備跑上扶手電梯上月台嘅時候就俾人從後襲擊咗後腦一下，我一邊跑一邊回望，睇到一個白衫人拎住枝棒球棍對住扶手電梯上面嘅人（包括我）大聲叫罵「 ___ 你老母」（第一個字聽得唔太清楚，請自行填充。）

Someone fell down next to me, I wished to help but I couldn't. The white-shirt gangsters were fast approaching, and I was about to rush back to the escalator. All of a sudden, I was attacked at my hindbrain, out of nowhere! I kept running and looked back at the attacker, it was a white-shirt gangster who was holding a baseball bat, yelling to the people (including me) on the escalator: YOU MOTHER _______ ! (I didn't hear it clearly, fill-in as you like)

我繼續上返月台，之後回頭望佢並無再追上嚟。我同其他乘客求奇衝入咗最尾一卡車廂，本身我都唔知自己流血，後來有其他乘客話我知我流緊血至知自己受咗傷。最後有啲熱心嘅乘客幫我消毒同包扎傷口（回想返先記得我咁大個仔都係第一次用M巾），同埋讓咗個位俾我坐。

I kept fleeing back to the platform, that white-shirt gangster had stopped chasing us. I went in the train with other passengers, and I did not even realized that I was bleeding until someone told me. Some very friendly passengers helped me to clean and wrap the wound (well, that was the first time I used sanitary pad), and nice enough to give me a seat.

過程之中我一邊用電話聯絡返老婆同佢報平安，佢話有人入咗車廂打人。而身邊嘅乘客都好不安，因為好擔心白衫嘅黑社會（我嗰刻至知原來係黑社會嚟嘅）會衝入嚟打人，好想快啲開車。同時亦開始有人話前面車廂（我係車尾）已經打緊，情況好混亂，好多人都好驚同鼓譟。唔知過咗幾耐（好似港鐵出咗聲明「詳細交代事件」，應該有寫詳細時間），我就坐返同一班列車去天水圍站，匯合返我老婆同遇到救護員，送咗去天水圍醫院，聯咗三針。我喺急症室等候期間，都不斷有被打受傷嘅人送入嚟急症室，估計有五至六個都係喺西鐵被襲的。

I was talking to my wife through the phone throughout the whole process. She told me that those gangsters were attacking people inside the train. Passengers around me were extremely worried, we were all afraid that those white-shirt Triad gangsters (now I knew they are Triad) will storme in and attack. We all hope that the train will move out from the station soon. At the same time, people were saying that there were attacks at the train head (I was at the tail), we were all in confusions and panics. After some minutes (looks like the MTR has made a statement regarding the detailed time), the train has finally moved, and I arrived Tin Shui Wai Station at last. I found my wife, we went straight to an Ambulanceman and admitted to the Tin Shui Wai Hospital afterwards, where I had my three stitches done. While I was waiting in the Emergency Room, 5 or 6 more injured people were sent in due to the West Rail attack.

急症室當值嘅警察都有主動問我係咪需要報案，我考慮咗一陣最後都同意咗，後來重案組亦係大約兩三個鐘後嚟同我落口供，佢問完個人資料之後，第一個問題就係問我有無出去遊行。我答無，佢好似有少少疑惑，我就拎返我張染咗血漬嘅《反斗奇兵4》嘅票尾比佢睇，佢先至再繼續同我落口供。最後我搞到清晨五點幾至返到屋企。

Policeman stationed in the Emergency Room has asked if I need to file a report. I had agreed after some consideration. The Crime Unit has also arrived after 2 to 3 hours to take my statement. After taking my personal information, he asked directly, "Did you join the protest march today?" I said, "No". He looked doubt. I took out the Toy Story 4 ticket stained with my blood and showed him, then he stopped questioning me. Eventually, I went home at about 5am.

其實本身尋日都係好平常嘅一日，同老婆行街、睇戲、食飯。之前我一直都有留意社會上發生嘅事，知道社會瀰漫住好多負面情緒。所以尋日我本身都打算俾自己抖一抖，放低時事一日。無奈就喺我休息、喺我最平常嘅生活當中，遇上咗無差別嘅襲擊，正所謂「我唔搞政治、政治一樣會嚟搞我」。我俾人扑濕，一定係我有做錯，而我最錯嘅係咩？我諗應該係因為我睇咗美帝嘅卡通電影。

It was a very normal day yesterday - shopping with my wife, watching movie, have a great dinner. I know what had happened lately in this city and how desperate people are these days. So I planned to have a relaxed day and free from the news. The ironic part is, on the day I was trying to rest and have a life, it was the day I encountered the indiscriminate attack. There is this saying, "you don't mess with politics, politics will mess with you eventually". I was attacked, so I must have done something wrong? What did I do wrong? Oh, I guess it must have been about me watching the American animation.

我知道我受嘅傷，同喺中上環俾警察無預警下開槍射傷嘅市民比，實在係微不足道（其實佢哋更應被關注！）。不過身邊聽到我經歷嘅朋友都好驚、好忿怒，其實我都係好忿怒、好無助，我地都無辦法明白到底點解坐西鐵返屋企會俾黑社會打，而點解警察又唔嚟阻止？但我更加感受到嘅係市民果種恐懼同絕望感，人群閃躲之際有人跌倒，有人落單，大家衝入車廂果陣會唔會發生人踩人？我老婆都陪伴咗個受驚而情緒失控嘅少女。大家都好驚、好恐懼、好絕望、好furious。人係受威脅之下，會出現figh-or-flight的反應，喺腎上腺素嘅驅使之下，一係會反擊，一係會逃走，但手無寸鐵嘅市民被圍困係車廂中被人撳住嚟打，既不能fight , 又不能flight，果種絕望同恐懼的確唔係三言兩語講得明白，往後嘅心理創傷同陰影烙印，可以係一生之久。

Comparing to those protesters shot by the Policemen without warning in Sheung Wan and Central, I was nothing (we should pay more attention to them instead!). But friends around me were shocked and outraged about my attack. To be frank, I was shocked too. Who would imagine that attack will come when I was just taking the West Rail train back home? And where were the Policemen when we need them? And most of all, I experienced the same fear and desperation with the passengers. People were dodging, falling down, left behind, there could be stampede when we rushed back to the train! My wife had also stayed and comforted a young girl who had almost lost control because of the frightening situation. Everyone was afraid, worried, hopeless and furious. When people are being threatened, there is a response called "fight-or-flight". The adrenaline will drive you to either fight back or take flight. Unfortunately, when we were unarmed and trapped inside the train, we cannot fight back, we cannot take flight, there is no word to describe the despair and fear in that scenario. The psychological trauma and shadow can be life-long.

的確，喺某啲人眼中，無論我係幾無辜被打，我走得慢所以我都依然係抵死，又或者一定係我經過元朗所以抵打。但我呢刻已經無力去鬧爆佢哋，咁做對我嚟講亦係無乜意思。我唔覺得襲擊我嘅人有幾大機會會被繩之於法，我亦都唔想停留喺去點樣出呢啖氣。難道戰爭中國家的政府會為一個被殺嘅平民作出調查麼？戰時社會有戰時嘅生存法則，我不得不面對現實：香港其實同戰爭社會已經無乜大分別，香港警隊同呢個政府係點做嘢，我已經無興趣知。

Some people may say, regardless of how innocent I am, that still, I was to blame. Maybe I ran too slow so I was meant to be attacked. Maybe I passed by Yuen Long so I should have known it better. I do not want to debate with their accusations, it is meaningless anyway. In my believe, there is no hope in taking the attacker down in my case, and I have no intention to take revenge. You see, when there is war in a country, the government will not take it serious when a citizen got killed. Wartime society has its own law of survival, and I have to deal with this reality: Hong Kong is in war now, and I have zero interest in what the HK Police Force and the government will take serious into.

但我都仍然想表達，香港人真係好有愛，喺亂世之時，大家都仍然能夠守望相助，我感受到被愛。車上嘅乘客不斷安慰我，不斷喺有限嘅物資之中幫我消毒止血做急救，救護員都幫咗我好多，我嘅朋友本身已經返咗喺市區嘅屋企都衝返入嚟睇我，亦有朋友係專登揸車入嚟，我嘅屋企人陪我喺急症室等通宵。所有朋友嘅安慰、慰問同祝福我都感受到。

There is one thing I must say. Hong Kong people are really full of passion. During this chaotic time, people are still willing to look after each other. I am blessed with their love: Passengers on the train have comforted me, treated my wound carefully when there is lack of first-aid materials; the professional treatment by the Ambulancemen; some friends have even rushed back after arriving their homes in downtown, one even drove his car all the way to the hospital; my family who have stayed with me in the Emergency Room throughout the whole night; all the comforts, loves and blessings from my friends…I am so blessed.

我唔係想講受襲嘅事唔重要，或者我要淡化、粉飾太平，我相信任何一個有良知嘅人都會對所有尋晚係西鐵上無辜受襲嘅市民感到心痛同忿怒。不過，我亦知道我哋呢種忿怒已經無處可容，因為呢個社會嘅制度已經崩壞，極權肆虐到一個點係唔可能再容許我哋有自己嘅思想同感受。塗鴉一個圖案可以係破壞政府管治基礎嘅底線，如此荒謬嘅話仲係出自一區首長之口，譴責圖案受破壞，比危殆嘅人命還緊要，我就明白到，無人性嘅極權眼中又點會睇到平民百姓人命價值嘅可貴？呢個邪惡嘅政治制度不過係想透過「收買人命」嘅恐慌嚟製造威權管治嘅理由，逼使人民放棄思想同抗爭，做個順民去拜服極權，等佢哋以為自己可以千秋萬世。

I will not say that the attack is not important, or lighten it up or paper over the cracks. Anyone have conscious will definitely be heartbroken and ambushed about the attack at the West Rail. But the truth is that, our outrageous has nowhere to escape. Our society system is corrupting, the totalitarianism is raging brutally to a point where no one is allowed to have their own thinking and feeling. When a simple graffiti is an act to test the bottom line of the government's governance, when the Chief Executive ridiculously condemns the destruction of a symbolic device more than the vicious attack to innocent citizen, I know that our lives have absolutely no values to these senior officials. This evil political system is taking lives, creating the chaos and the reason for their stuck-up governance, forcing the people to give up fighting, while eventually the people will worship them as gods with their kingdom lasts forever.

但係，在荒謬絕倫、置身喺邪惡陰謀嘅被襲經驗之中，我感受到身邊仍然有可愛嘅人，無論係素未謀面嘅乘客、救護員、定係我嘅朋友同家人，係佢地嘅愛同關心，使我能夠克服果種面對荒謬時嘅無助感，令我能夠有信心繼續行落去，有勇氣去面對果份無可躲避嘅恐懼，有盼望去戰勝果啲因擔心無差別隨機攻擊而帶嚟嘅心理壓力。

However, in this ridiculous attack experience under the evil conspiracy, there are lovely people around me: passengers , Ambulancemen, friends and family, for their loves and comforts give me the strength to overcome the helpless feeling throughout this absurd situation, the faith to move on, the courage to face the inevitable fear, and the hope to concur the in-depth pressure caused by the desperation of the indiscriminate attack.

昨日的我，經歷了被襲擊，令我完美的一天不再完美，但我卻在遭害和恐懼當中發現了愛和勇氣，是香港人守望的愛。

I was attacked yesterday, and it made my perfect day imperfect. But I found love and courage in the time of danger and fear. Hong Kong people do watch over for each other.

是的，香港人很有愛，所以我們值得擁有比現在更好的社會領袖和政治制度，We deserve better。因為你們有愛，所以我能夠不再怕遭害。因為你們有愛，所以我能夠堅持這個心願。因為你們有愛，所以我有信心香港人能夠一齊撐落去。

HongKongers are so full of love, that is why we deserve better society leaders and political system. We DO deserve better. Because of your love, I do not fear the danger. Because of your love, I can hold tight to hope. Because of your love, I have faith that HongKongers can stick together and make our own future.

香港人，加油💪🏻！
HongKongers, ADD OIL!
