【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.

「每一種語言的消逝，就代表少了一種觀看世界的角度、詮釋這個世界的方式。」
　　
我還記得2016年第一次到 台東 有人在家民宿，一起彈奏音樂後，施奕安 跟我說了這段話。
　　
「語言是立體的。
當考古學家挖掘到器皿、用具等等，比較像是用平面2D的方式去理解前人；然而透過語言、文字，就能瞭解這個文化重視某種事情的程度，進入他們的生活。」
　　
當晚的交流對我來說彌足珍貴，直到現在，我還在努力嘗試用這片土地上的語言創作。
　　
/
　　
早期曾經寫了一兩首英文歌，不過純粹是自以為地覺得用英文唱起來比較好聽，並非真的理解，而好好地使用它。
　　
專心用中文、台語創作後，心裡也覺得踏實許多。沒想到這一兩年陸續收到訊息，是國外的朋友用串流平台聽到音樂，很喜歡但無法理解歌詞中的含義，希望我能翻譯給他們聽。
　　
這件事在心裡留了好一陣子，直到認識了Min，謝謝她有如詩句般的英文歌詞，重新賦予歌曲新的風貌：）
　　
　　
任性而活
　　
生命之中 太多遷就
There is so much to compromise in life,
沒有人能為你左右
And no one would be controlled by you.
任性而活 為愛執著
living carefreely and persisting in love
無非只想 天長地久
(You) just want nothing more than being forever
　　
你醒著睡著 和世界在拉扯
You wake up and fall asleep and struggle in this world
你笑著哭著 用力感受著
You smile and sob and experience (life) in a tough way
孤單寂寞 都是美麗的
Loneliness and solitude are both radiant
　　
蒼白的笑容 化作和煦的風
The feeble grins turn into the warm breeze
吹拂著心頭 撫平了傷口
(And) it blows into the heart and heal the wound
從今以後 從容不迫
From now on, (you) are in the peace of mind.
　　
黑夜中霓虹 閃爍燦爛的光
Neon lights twinkle brilliantly against the dark nights
輕聲地觸摸 每一個角落
As if they touch every corner gently with light tones
陌生畏懼 也是美麗的
Unfamiliarity and fear are both glamorous
　　
蒼白的笑容 化作和煦的風
The feeble grins turn into the warm breeze
吹拂著心頭 撫平了傷口
(And) it blows into the heart and heal the wound
從今以後 不再迷惘
From now on, you are confused no more
　　
多年以後.....
After many years
　　
/

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
幾星霜　期待もないようなふりをした
恥ずかし気に　でもわかってる　というだけど

双曲線　交わらないでいた
何もわからぬまま　潜っては深く　息も吸えないで

微睡む白んだ光が僕を呼んだ
手を伸ばしてくれるなら

ああ心はまだ応えられないまま
深い海凪いでは　理想描いた今
ただ痛いほど願って　忘れはしないから

ああこのまま立ち止まってしまったら
涙の味でさえ　知らないままだったな
君と笑って

空想上の世界を泳いでみたい
黄昏の陽には　思い出が　流れ落ちた

消極的　希望のないような口ぶりで
明日を見上げる空　困ったな　未来に縋ることさえも

見紛うくらいの煌めく声が覗いた
傷だらけの夢だけど

鼓動は速く　ざわめいていた
心海の果てに鳴る音が
確かに生きた　君との証なら　きっと探していた
零れそうな　呼ぶ声が　今いくと

ああ心はまだ応えられないまま
深い海凪いでは　理想描いた今
ただ痛いほど願って　忘れはしないから

ああこのまま立ち止まってしまったら
涙の味でさえ　知らないままだったな
君と笑って

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
歷經幾度日月風霜，總是故作漠不期待
雖然說起來有些慚愧，但我仍知道——自己不該如此掩飾

毫無交集的雙曲線
不論屏著氣向多深游去，都還是無法理解另一方的啊

淺眠的晨間白光呼喊著我的名
倘若能對我伸出雙手扶持的話——

我的內心仍無法予以回應
我在廣闊海洋上的風平浪靜，描繪心中理想的此刻
僅是死命地祈禱著能夠實現，也不會忘卻這份嚮往

若我僅是在此止步不前
將無從得知何謂淚水的滋味了吧
也無法與你一同，相視而笑

想在我的幻想世界裡同魚群自在遨游
黃昏夕日中的回憶，也與其一同降下落幕

用消極且不抱任何希望的口吻
仰望著明日也將昇起的天空：「還真是麻煩啊。」就連走向未來也是

窺見了仿佛令人看錯眼般耀眼的聲音
哪怕僅是傷痕累累的夢——

內心的鼓動，止不住地躁動
在這心海深處反覆迴響的聲音
我也一定曾追求著這份，仍在心頭蕩漾的、與你一同存在的證明
用我孱弱的呼喊聲：「我現在就出發！」

我的內心仍無法予以回應
我在廣闊海洋上的風平浪靜，描繪心中理想的此刻
僅是死命地祈禱著能夠實現，也不會忘卻這份嚮往

若我現在僅是止步不前
將再也無從得知這份淚水苦澀的鹹味了吧
看著你，相視而笑


英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
For many months and years, I pretended that I had no hope.
I understand even though it’s embarrassing. I say that, but...

The hyperbola didn’t even meet.
Still not understanding anything, I dove into the deep.
Don’t even breathe.

The white, sleepy light called out to me,
so I reached out my hand.

Ah, my heart still isn’t enough.
The deep-sea calmed, my ideal was drawn.
Because it hurts, I hope I won’t forget it.

Ah, as I stood still in that moment.
I didn’t even know the taste of tears
When I laughed with you

I want to swim in an imaginary world.
My memories of twilight days flowed.

Reluctant, with a hopeless apathetic tone,
I couldn’t look up at tomorrow’s sky or believe in the future.

The mistaken, glittering voice peeked in,
even though it was a wound-riddled dream.

My heartbeat was fast and buzzing,
the sound echoed at the end of the heart’s ocean.
If it's proof that you're alive, I surely searched for it,
I’m moving to that crying out voice now.

Ah, my heart still won’t answer me.
The deep-sea calmed, my ideal was drawn.
Because it hurts, I hope I won’t forget it.

Ah, as I stood still in that moment.
I didn’t even know the taste of tears
When I laughed with you

I had two roommates that kept eating all of my food. Although classes haven't started, I had already moved into my dorm. One day, I made myself a peanut butter sandwich. I put my sandwich on the table, and ten minutes later, it was gone. My roommate ate it. About a week later, I decided to make myself another peanut butter sandwich. I opened my cupboard and saw that my roommates left an empty jar in my cupboard. I flipped out because who eats a whole jar of peanut butter, without introducing themselves? These girls would scarf down all my food, and complain if they thought anyone was touching their food. So I started buying really fattening food such as doughnuts, pies, cakes. I was trying to teach them self-restraint, but these girls would go through these boxes within two days. So I kept buying doughnuts and desserts. And then one day they started complaining about how they couldn't fit their jeans. Success. I also put laxatives in my peanut butter.

My roommate freshman year got completely hammered, came back to the room around 1 in the morning, and accused me of stealing the pudding in her fridge that she *had ate* an hour before she went out. She waited until I fell asleep and then stabbed me in the arm with one of those clicky pencils…I had to go to the hospital to get it cleaned/stitched. She got kicked out.

I got absolutely hammered and pissed all over my roommates desk the night before the end of the year. I woke up to him hanging up his money to dry out. Years later he ended up as my boss and ended up giving me a significant promotion. I guess he doesn't hold grudges.

----文稿----
It was move out day and my roommate was working on a paper last minute. I was packing my stuff. His parents walked in and were absolutely pissed that he wasn't packed yet. They immediately started scolding him while I was still in the room, but thankfully I had a final to go to and figured I'd dodge the storm. I said my goodbyes, assuming they'd be gone by the time I got back from my two hour final and went on my way. As it happens, my final only took twenty minutes so I got back much sooner than they'd have expected. I opened the door, saw my roommate bent over his bed with his bare ass showing just as his mom wound up for a spank. I quickly closed the door and went over to a friend's dorm until I felt safe enough to return. I never brought it up to him after that.

----單字----
paper 這裡是指報告
scolding 責罵

assuming 假設、預設
bare 沒穿衣服的、光溜溜
wound up 準備做某個動作
