When people look at the erosion of freedom in Hong Kong the last several years and warn about this happening to Taiwan, it’s a reminder that our parents and grandparents remember authoritarian era Taiwan.
The KMT under Chiang Kai-Shek massacred a generation of Taiwan’s leaders and intellectuals. My grandfather was a young journalist that fled to Thailand for several years. My mom’s childhood memories includes neighbors disappearing in the middle of the night. It’s why wanted to immigrate to America in the 70s when I was a toddler.
Hong Kong used to be my favorite city since my first visit in 1995. It was a free and vocal society with an energy to it that’s no longer there. That Hong Kong only exists in the people who remember.
Free thinking leads to people wanting freedom and living life without fear and that absolutely scares the shit out of insecure governments that are afraid of losing power.
So they arrest people for selling books during the week of their book fair. They invite influencers and comedians to tap dance for social media. They throw money at international event organizers to host conferences and they silence critics by sending trolls to reply spam social media sites that they block their own citizens from using.
But hey, how about that recent Pew report about countries that like China more than America. You’ll hear the think tanks, academics and China expert talking more about that because maintaining their access to China depends on it and no one wants to win that exit ban lottery on their next trip there.

《香港還有站著的人》
——致香港書店店員
香港還有站著的人。
當警車停在書店門前,
當鐵門緩緩落下,
當一本本書被帶走,
還有人昂著頭,
穿著那件白色襯衫——
「我是書店店員。」
沒有豪言,
沒有怒吼,
只有一句平靜的自我介紹,
卻重若千鈞。
因為他守護的,
不是一本書,
而是閱讀的自由;
不是一間書店,
而是一座城市最後的精神燈塔。
香港還有讀書的人。
他們讀真相的書,
讀良知的書,
讀自由的書,
讀那些告訴人
如何成為一個真正的人。
書可以被查封,
書店可以被關閉,
但知識無法上鎖,
思想不能入獄。
香港還有大寫的人。
他們知道,
真正的尊嚴,
不是屈服之後的平安,
而是在黑暗裡,
依然挺直脊梁。
只要還有人敢說:
「我是書店店員。」
香港的自由精神,
就沒有熄滅。
只要還有人願意翻開一本書,
尋找真相,
尋找正義,
尋找人的尊嚴,
香港的良心,
就依然活著。
我向香江致敬。
致敬那些仍然站立的人,
致敬那些仍然閱讀的人,
致敬每一位守護文字的人。
因為有你們,
香港不只是維多利亞港的燈火,
更是一座城市最後的良知。
願自由歸來,
願真相歸來,
願每一本書,
都能重新回到讀者手中。(我与CHATGPT合作的诗篇)
