What Do You Really Want From Us?

上星期五，全國人大會議正式開幕，關於建立香港國家安全法同執行機制嘅議案，早一晚就宣佈納入咗議程。開幕當日，副委員長王晨宣讀草案細節，預計呢個星期四表決。香港從爆發佔中以嚟，經歷六年黃疫，一年黑暴，半年肺炎之疫後，阿爺終於出手救港。所謂，有人歡喜有人愁，安份守己、反對黃黑嘅香港人，終於等到呢一日。至於果班黃黑之徒，同佢地嘅偽和理非支持者，唔喺搵埞著草，就喺再推啲勇武暴徒出嚟搞事，星期日灣仔、銅鑼灣一帶，又成為黑暴戰場。
今次港版國安法嘅立法程序，最快都要兩個月，睇嚟香港嘅局勢，都仲要亂一段時間。星期五港股急跌千三點，到今朝升返四百幾，呢期投機者又趁亂炒作好淡消息，乘機撈返筆，真喺人有人鬥，錢有錢鬥。以美國為首嘅西方聯盟，反應強烈，但似乎只有美國提出過一啲較實質嘅行動，例如制裁中國官員、中國企業、終止香港特殊地位之類，其他國家都只喺吹下水，睇你美國頭。其實國家安全法，世界各地都有，保障政權穩定，即喺保障社會穩定，對金融、企業、投資、經濟、民生各方面，當然喺好事，呢啲基本常識，你估班鬼佬唔知？見就嚟失去惟一可以通過茶毒、撕裂中國人民，以遏制中國崛起嘅重要窗口，當然唔肯過你啦！不過美國人响香港，仍然賺緊龐大嘅利益，呢隻「現在嘅基礎因素」，形成咗一度防護盾，美國要响唔傷及自己嘅情況之下，有效對付香港，幾乎喺冇可能。再加上全球疫情仲喺爆發緊，美國病入膏肓，可謂自身難保，阿爺唔襯呢個大好時機修正香港，更待何時？
香港嘅命運、中國人嘅苦難
雨過總會天晴，但呢場雷雨，真喺唔知仲要澆幾耐。所謂，長痛不如短痛，記得我曾多次提過，中西對決，喺地球注定要面對嘅命運，香港處於中西之間嘅特殊位置，自然成為呢場環球對決嘅縮影，以及必爭之地。香港人真喺幸福咗太多年，連做特首都咁幸福，搞到一鑊粥仲可以坐定定，人地湖北抗疫初期，一爆鑊即烏沙不保。我地中國人，本來就喺一個苦難嘅民族，飽受世人針對同歧視之下，奮力捱出個未來。香港人避過咗祖國最艱難嘅時期，依家又要國家出手相救，呢場短痛，相比中國內地過往果幾十年，根本就微不足道，如果港人再唔爭氣，就真喺冇得救。
話說 2008 年，網上流傳出一首英文詩，惹嚟咗一輪瘋傳同熱話。詩嘅內容，描述咗中國人响西方國家多年歧視同欺壓之下，作出嘅一系列控訴。
當時有傳呢首詩响《華盛頓郵報》發表過，作者喺一位名為林多梁（Duo-Liang LIN）嘅華裔物理學教授。後嚟，呢位教授電郵回覆查詢，澄清自己唔喺作者，只不過收到一封匿名電郵，覺得個內容好 impressed，於是轉發俾一啲朋友，就惹嚟咗呢場風波。事後《華盛頓郵報》都有刊出呢首詩，話响網上病毒式傳播（gone viral），作者不詳。
What Do You Really Want From Us?
When we were the Sick Man of Asia, We were called The Yellow Peril.
When we are billed to be the next Superpower, we are called The Threat.
When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to open markets.
When we embrace Free Trade, You blame us for taking away your jobs.
When we were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your fair share.
When we tried to put the broken pieces back together again, Free Tibet you screamed, It Was an Invasion!
When tried Communism, you hated us for being Communist.
When we embrace Capitalism, you hate us for being Capitalist.
When we have a billion people, you said we were destroying the planet.
When we tried limiting our numbers, you said we abused human rights.
When we were poor, you thought we were dogs.
When we loan you cash, you blame us for your national debts.
When we build our industries, you call us Polluters.
When we sell you goods, you blame us for global warming.
When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and genocide.
When you go to war for oil, you call it liberation.
When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded rules of law.
When we uphold law and order against violence, you call it violating human rights.
When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have free speech.
When we are silent no more, you say we are brainwashed-xenophobics.
Why do you hate us so much, we asked.
No, you answered, we don't hate you.
We don't hate you either, But, do you understand us?
Of course we do, you said, We have AFP, CNN and BBC's…
What do you really want from us?
Think hard first, then answer… Because you only get so many chances.
Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for This One World.
We want One World, One Dream, and Peace on Earth.
This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.

到 2011 年，媒體又重提呢首詩，引起咗一位法律學者（周大偉）嘅興趣。呢位學者搜尋過一啲網上資料，又聯絡到已經退咗休嘅林多梁教授，仲同佢做咗個電話訪問添。周大偉寫咗一篇文章，記錄整個過程，以及自己嘅睇法。真相似乎喺，林教授轉發咗果封匿名電郵之後，有人响《華盛頓郵報》一篇題為《Chinese Nationalism Threatens Beijing》嘅文章下面，以署名「A POEM PUBLISHED BY THE WASHINGTON POST」，將林教授轉發果首詩，連同個電郵名牌一併留言。其後有《華盛頓郵報》編輯打電話俾林教授，問過究竟之後，再刊登首詩出嚟，仲加埋個乜嘢 gone viral 嘅評論。
究竟林教授喺咪作者本人？喺自編自導自演？定真喺另有其人？作者嘅身份，至今仍然喺一個迷！
坊間對呢首詩嘅評價，有褒有貶。不過有趣嘅喺，一啲親美媒體，將呢單本來喺不明來歷嘅瘋傳，講成乜嘢大肆傳播造假文章、「原因大家都懂的，就不多說了」之類，又斷章放大林教授嘅部分訪問內容，講到佢好似好唔認同首詩咁。唔認同，又點會話好 impressed？又點會轉發？不過，就睇近年中美矛盾、香港嘅社會事件、中國响疫情中嘅表現等等，西方媒體果種偏頗、選擇性報導，又真喺見怪不怪。
大勢所趨，總要發生
姑勿論邊個喺作者，單睇首詩嘅內容，唔見得有乜嘢仇視西方國家，或者仇美嘅成份，反而喺西方國家，仇視我地中國社會，而首詩只不過提出咗質詢同控訴。「We want One World, One Dream, and Peace on Earth」，苦苦哀求呢個世界，俾條路我地行，咁都叫仇視？真喺 What Do You Really Want From Us！你有你去玩自由民主，消費地球，我有我去掙扎求存，保家衛國。我地中國人，從來都只喺做好自己，唔會強迫人地去跟從自己嘅文化。人類自古以來，民族間以戰爭互相侵略，到發展出文明之後嘅今時今日，竟然仲有一啲國家，為咗貨幣、資源、政治等利益，响世界各地挑起戰爭。正如特朗普一句，話耶路撒冷喺以色列首都，彈指之間，造成咗幾多生靈塗炭？出兵伊拉克、炸死伊朗將軍，話殺就殺，屈你唔使證據。至高無上嘅列強之首，會在乎你死幾多人？想當年六四，如果唔喺鄧小平夠果斷，一旦爆發內戰，美國幫一邊，蘇聯幫一邊，中國就要死幾千萬人！講真，响佢地眼中，幾千萬條生命，都唔及一個半個有政治宣傳價值嘅偽權人士！
就呢次新冠肺炎大爆發，西方聯盟劍指中國，後者強硬回應。彭博話中國搞戰狼外交，錯過彰顯國力嘅機遇，睇到啲咁嘅評論，真喺笑咗。家陣邊個喺戰狼？以美國為首嘅西方聯盟，疫情未過就上哂弓，制裁、關稅、廢主權豁免、天額索償、欠債唔還、獨立調查，仲離譜到玩 Conclusion Shopping，即喺砌你生豬肉。中國不幸為疫情第一個受害者，果斷封城、火速起臨時醫院、以西方國家視為唔尊重人權自由嘅模式控制疫情。如果首個發現疫症嘅，喺中國以外，特別喺標榜自由民主嘅西方國家，唔知個結果又會點？或者簡單講，無論你點做，人地都喺要煮你，因為你喺中國，一個西方唔認同但又要崛起嘅國家。
THAT'S WHY 港版國安法，勢在必行，冇人可以阻止。尤其西方聯盟各國，已經露哂底，阿爺亦睇得好清楚，制裁嘅目的，就喺制裁，就算冇國安法都一樣，只喺個藉口冇咁靚仔啫！正如香港嘅黑暴，唔立國安法，唔通就唔會出嚟搞事？大勢所趨，總要發生，要嚟嘅，始終會嚟，與其怨天尤人，何不勇敢面對？國家如是，中國人如是，香港人亦如是。
What Do You Really Want From Us?
十二年前嘅一首詩，今日重溫，都仲喺咁應景，內容似乎暗藏著一個疑問：究竟我地中國人，應該點樣面對自己嘅命運？我地香港人，又應該點樣面對自己嘅命運？如果詩題中嘅「You」，喺代表西方國家嘅話，答案就只有質詢同控訴。但如果對於香港人，「You」代表國家，對於中國人，「You」代表世界，咁就會變成以下兩條問題。
國家，究竟想我地點？呢個世界，又想我地點？
今日《中國日報雙語新聞》將王毅近期記者會中嘅講話，整合成一個中英雙語版本，唔知大家睇過之後，會有乜嘢體會？另外，我响網上誤打誤撞，又搵到首詩嘅一篇評論文章，尾段引述咗新華社一段說話。
“We are on our way to becoming a powerful country, and we should also learn to think like citizens of a big country. A strong country not only has a strong economy, but also a mature mentality. This includes the ability to take pressure in stride, and face difficulties in a rational way.”
香港對國家嘅使命，就喺國家對人類嘅使命，呢個唔喺權利，喺責任！
答案就喺「中國民族精神」！
