【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.

填詞：迪鹿 DeluCat
童年夢境 深深烙印我心
黑暗 的陰影
宛如沈重-的枷鎖
深陷於泥-沼之中

痲痹 你感性的神經
無需 對禍害留情
神也訕笑 投擲吧 命運吶
深陷憂傷 我是你 最後-迎向的死亡
全都剷除別剩下
奪回 屬於我的篇章

Each time we’ll enter
First time to make this
Final dungeon made it by a miracle.
I have a reason
Don’t part the rivers
Surround them, off with their heads
Christen my motive
First time to notice
Final dungeon for so long we wandered.
I hide among you
Facing my fire
Surround them, off with their heads

妳依然 在我夢境
妳是否感到可惜 我已經不再像曾經
能否 將我抱緊

童年夢境 深深烙印我心
黑暗 的陰影
宛如沈重-的枷鎖
深陷於泥-沼之中
命運 是無盡的棋局
抓住 勝利的機率
要贏 這場遊戲

茶香 餅乾再配上奶精
結局勝負還未定
此刻誰也不必對誰再質疑

繃緊 再咬牙切齒地
他們 也並不聰明
神也訕笑 投擲吧 命運吶
結束它吧 用鮮血 浸染刀刃贖罪吧
你那刺耳的絕望 是悅耳絕響 浸~染吧 全都獻上
你們 末日將會 帶我回到從前
全都剷除別剩下
奪回 屬於我的篇章

Each time we’ll enter
First time to make this
Final dungeon made it by a miracle.
I have a reason
Don’t part the rivers
Surround them, off with their heads
Christen my motive
First time to notice
Final dungeon for so long we wandered.
I hide among you
Facing my fire
At night I’m dreaming, hoping that I’ll dream forever.

【 Lyrics歌詞 】
填詞：迪鹿 DeluCat
感情的光輝　閃呀閃
甜蜜滋味　轉呀轉
唯有你　才會是我的愛戀
這個甜蜜的世界　宛如謊言般易裂
除了你之外的所有一切　全部都消滅
個性既扭曲　又鑽牛角尖
外面的世界　我全部都無法理解
將愛藏起　別讓誰查覺
任誰都不可以　來破壞
啊 啊 啊
愛過了　又怎麼樣了？
才不允許　誰玷污呢
善良也好　邪惡也罷
那些全部都與我無關吧？
依靠著胸口的　溫暖
那緩緩跳動的　心跳
讓我來帶著你逃到　天涯海角
還不夠！怎麼做？遠遠都不夠
請一直陪在我左右

感情的光輝　閃呀閃
因為有你　而圓滿
這一刻　是只屬於我們的機會
若這甜蜜的世界　成為謊言而破碎
除了你之外的一切　沒有存在理由
Say WO　放聲歡笑吧
全都扔掉吧　灰暗的情感
來吧　放聲歌唱吧
若在這房中　藏好的話　一定會更加耀眼
啊 啊 啊
還在尋找著些　什麼嗎？
啊　已經不想尋找了嗎？
一心一意追求著一句　“I love You”
獨自一人的我如此無用
不論是她和他　或我和它　全部都…
下等 下等　零分 零分
我知道這樣的自己無可救藥　卻還是自我陶醉著
在五味雜成的人群中　一直是”你”的你 永遠都是第一名
我被蒙蔽的視線裡　全變成你
宛如天使般的態度　令我著迷
令我感到惶恐　失去語言能力
獻上我的所有一切來　魅惑你
請你也笑著將我其他所有全部的缺陷　一概忽略…

掙扎著 的說著 「才不是我呢」就隨它吧　都算了
每天過的渾渾噩噩　這樣不斷重複著
這一直全都是由我獨自承擔
倘若連那段時光　也選擇拋棄的話　我們就永不會相遇了

感情的光輝閃呀閃　因為有你而圓滿
但這樣圓滿的生活不是一切
不論是甜美模樣　或是殘酷的真相
都揭穿它吧！不論哪個 全都是我
Say Wow　放聲吶喊吧
不再掩飾那　對你的情感
來吧　放聲歌唱吧
若在這房中　開始的話　一切將能改變
