early的中文的八卦，DCARD和Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信

「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點，我也即將離開台灣，我想藉這個機會和大家分享，這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸，也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想，這麼說一點也不為過。

我19歲時第一次離開家鄉，就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說，從那時起，台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情，也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物，像是水餃和臭豆腐，並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面，我努力用我粗淺的中文，讓別人聽懂我說的話；但同時我也發現，無論走到哪裡，迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。

因此，在成為美國外交官後，能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站，真是再適合不過了。畢竟，是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣，也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後，我也曾派駐其他地點，多數是在大中華區域，但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡，可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然，我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結，或者也叫作「緣分」吧，才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。

常有人問我，為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得：「答案不是很明顯嗎？」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度，解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情，我通常會提到以下幾個領域：

首先，台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡，我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟，經濟益加蓬勃，環境保護更受關注，藝術文化發展也生生不息。

台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿，但與此同時，台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好，台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣，最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護；年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧，接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。

再者，對美國來說，台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟，科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值，時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式，為解決全球問題做出貢獻，這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民，也是因為我們相信，身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴，就是該這麼做。

最後，每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係，我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意，他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係，比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的，當我向AIT告別的那一天，我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感，因為我知道，美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健，我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻，而深感驕傲。

但是，比起這些事情，我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節，還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音，還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香，這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得，是各位台灣朋友們，你們以各種不同的方式，讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此，我要衷心地謝謝大家。

雖然我將離開台灣，但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen

"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.

The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.

It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.

People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.

First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.

Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.

Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.

Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.

But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.

I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "

-- AIT Director William Brent Christensen

我是國榮。來自澳洲昆士蘭省，讀中學時成績非常好，分數已足夠在大學選讀任何一科。當時我希望成為一名醫生，因為可以幫助他人。我在新南威爾斯大學讀醫科，第一年是住在雪梨北區一個朋友家中，第二年入住大學國際宿舍，宿舍規定最少有半數是留學生，不是澳洲人。最先兩年結識了不少香港、新加玻、馬來西亞的朋友，與他們很合得來，不過最重要是入住宿舍後，便遇到了香港的流行歌曲。有一天我行經走廊時，聽到一些很悅耳的音樂，我便問同學這是甚麽歌曲及可否借給我欣賞，他便借了給我。我已忘記是Leslie還是Alan的歌，但肯定是其中一位。因為很喜歡這些歌曲，便到唐人街購買，後來一邊聽歌一邊看歌詞，因此慢慢地學識了很多中文字。
因為喜歡唱歌，所以在大學的同學活動，開始演唱中文歌，也曾參加香港學生會舉辦的歌唱比賽，參賽歌曲是「愛的根源」，結果獲得亞軍。我很清楚記得，國際宿舍為了文化交流，每年舉辦一次國際晚宴，希望不同種族的學生可以表演和分享文化。Leslie在一九八五年 唱Monica獲得獎項，那是一首我很喜歡的歌曲，所以在文化交流晚會我便選擇唱Monica。當時同學覺得很驚奇，我怎可能唱Monica。我是跟着錄影帶，學習他的舞步和唱歌技巧。我不停地在公眾地方練習，其他同學看到我很用心練習，也過來幫助我。在台上表演時有幾位同學為我伴舞，當晚演出非常成功。
一九八五年Leslie和幾位香港天皇巨星，來澳洲開演唱會。演唱會的主辦公司，需要義務司機，朋友問我能否當義務司機。我答應了，後來知道是當Leslie的司機。有一天他放假不用排練，我們便駕車往坎培拉，當日天氣多雲有微雨，甚麽也看不清楚，喝過咖啡後便離開，回程是Leslie駕駛，他的英語非常好，途中我們愉快地暢談，這次旅程對我來說是很重要的事情。
一九八六年Alan到來澳洲，我又當了他的司機。在他入住的酒店，介紹人在偶像面前，誤把我的名字說成河詠麟，當時在偶像面前我也不懂怎樣矯正。大約有兩年很多人以為我是河詠麟。他的四位女和音，知道我懂得唱他的歌，所以告訴了他，在排練那天他叫我上台一起唱。認識Leslie 和Alan兩位巨星，對我的影響很大，聽到他們的歌，和看到觀眾的反應，我開始對香港的歌唱發展很重視。
因為常常想着唐人街和唱歌，沒有用功讀書，因此醫科的第三年考試不合格，需要重讀，在一九八六年重讀了三個月便決定退學。
後來做了三份洗碗碟工作，還做了個多月砌磚的工作，我把工作一年多，所得工資儲起來，買了一張單程機票和帶了一千澳元，便到來香港發展。唯一的準備是問一個朋友能否到他的家中居住。他的父親很勉強地答應，但需要收租金。我甚麽準備也沒有，只是刻意買了一張單程機票，是因為不想遇到少許困難便放棄，返回澳洲。
初到香港時甚麼都不認識，沒有計劃，也沒有朋友。我最先是住在廣播道，但我的朋友不是在那裡居住，因為他還在讀書。初來時沒有事做，所以在外面逛了幾天，有一天意外地行到紅磡體育館，中門外有四名男士在吸煙，他們竟然叫我河詠麟。原來他們是Alan的樂隊成員，在一九八六年見過面，但相隔一年，竟然還可以記起我，這就是緣分。當時Alan正在為演唱會排練，他們帶我進去體育館，這樣便再見到Alan。一九八七年的演唱會是三十一場，我看了三十場。本來打算看足三十一場，但是有少許問題出現，因為我住的地方有規定，晚上十時半後便會關門，不會再讓人進出。但演唱會是不會這麽早便完場，每晚看完演唱會，我會行去尖沙嘴，然後再步行回廣播道，然後在公園外的石椅小睡，到五時公園開門便進去睡覺，但最終因捱不住，有一晚沒有去看演唱會。有一次Alan突然問我，今晚可否上台唱歌，我說當然可以，便成為他的嘉賓。我第一次表演Alan十分開心，但第二次他在台上介紹，有一個外國人，唱他的歌十分出色，當他呼喚河詠麟出場，因為我不在場，所以沒有出現。後來他問我為何沒有出現，我便向他解釋原因，他便安排我入住酒店，直到演唱會完結。所以便有第三次呼喚我上台，這是我第二次成為嘉賓跟他一起唱「朋友」，真是十分興奮。到八月他的生日會也有邀請我做嘉賓，其實每一件發生的事情都是有關係的。
後來我在北角僑冠大厦租了一間劏房居住，有一次從北角行到中環，看到一間職業介紹公司的招聘啟示，我便前往應徵。當時職員說我可以教英文，但我不是教師，他認為沒有問題，便介紹我到一間補習社工作。在補習社工作了幾個月，有一位同事看到一張電視台的海報，需要招聘 一個西方人，但要懂得說中文。我致電應徵，他是一位獨立經紀，我說沒有經驗和廣東話也不是很好，他說沒有問題。我便去見一位電視台女監製，她給我一段英文劇本，要我讀出來。因為很緊張，五分鐘都不能出聲，我跟自己說，不嘗試會後侮一生。那一段對白是警官責備下級，責備人一定是很大聲的，所以我便很大聲說出來。當時她正在做自己的事，沒有再理會我，但我的叫聲使她大吃一驚。因為沒有其他外國人給她選擇，她無奈地聘請了我，這套劇集需要兩個西方人，另外一位是當主角，從那時開始，便在電視台工作了二十年。
二零一四年九月我在N o w T V的一個音樂節目做嘉賓，在一間音樂室裡我和三位節目主持人，唱歌和談論音樂。到最近才知道，他們三位是100毛的老闆。到聖誕100毛找我拍攝雜誌封面，我不知為何找我拍攝封面，原來三位老闆是認識我的，只是我自己不知道。
二零一五年八月他們聯絡我，他們有一首歌，問我會否願意演唱，那首歌曲我很熟悉，歌詞十分口語化，應該可以學到的。但當時是星期五，表演是在星期日，只得兩天時間作準備，所以我很用心練習。舞台是有電視屏幕可以看到歌詞，但我盡量避免看電視屏幕，只是有需要時才看一看，便可以放心地唱。能夠上台非常開心，我可以扮了演一個角色，唱一首悅耳和有趣的歌，觀眾很熱鬧和興奮，真是十分難得。我知道這是一生一次，這不是自己可以做到，是他們給我機會。那首歌很受歡迎，而且登上了流行榜。聖誕節前他們聯絡我，表示將會舉辦總選，問我會否參加，我便欣然答應了。當天每位表演者，會有兩首歌曲，在十二月廿六日接到新歌，我從沒有聽過那首歌，是一首說唱歌曲，而且歌詞很陌生，對我來說十分困難，所以我不停地練習了四百多次。當晚表演由Now T V直播，有七十萬人觀看，想不到自己能夠獲得香港區最受歡迎男歌星獎，當宣佈我的名字時，極度開心，無人能想到，唱出真香港的歌曲，是由一個西方人唱出，可以感動到別人。這是天時地利人和，超乎現實，簡直是一個奇蹟。因為那首歌不是我揀選，是別人給我的，練習這首歌時眼睛常常都會充了滿淚水和很感動。
西方人在香港發展演藝事業是十分困難的，機會不多，只能扮演一些無關重要的角色，但我從來沒有想過放棄。五年前我計劃灌錄一張唱片，因為胃酸倒流，把聲帶灼傷，使我聲音變得沙啞，這件事使我非常懊惱，因為辛苦練習多年，卻發生了這個問題，後來我矯正了唱歌方法，問題得以改善，可以繼續唱歌，現在準備為唱片再進行錄音工作。
最近有很多關於少數族裔的事情出現在我身上 ，現在我為一個港台節目做旁白，是關於少數族裔在香港。他們在本地娛樂圈發展是十分困難，因為在一個有九成是同一種族的地方，看電視或電影，也是會看自己的種族，未必會看少數族裔。如果他們幾個人合作，做一個節目，然後在網上發放，是有機會成功。香港有很多少數族裔居住，有些人的中文比我好，他們也愛香港。
我心目中的香港人，是要做香港人做的事，吃香港人吃的食物，關心香港，不看膚色，希望他們也能說廣東話，最重要是覺得香港是自己的家，這便是真正的香港人。

I am Gregory. I hail from Queensland, Australia. During my high school years, my grades were excellent. They were good enough for me to enroll in any subject that I wanted to in university. At that time, I wanted to become a doctor because I could help others. I studied Medicine at the University of New South Wales. In my first year, I lived in my friend’s home located in North Sydney. During my second year, I lived in International House at the university. It was a rule for the school campus to have at least 50 percent overseas students. They cannot be Australians. I met a lot of Hong Kong, Singaporean and Malaysian friends in my first two years. I was able to get along with them very well. But what is most important was that after living in International House, I came across Hong Kong pop music. One day I was walking along the corridors and overheard beautifully melodic music. I asked my classmate what music he was listening to and if he could lend me the music to listen to. He leant it to me.
I have forgotten whether it was the music of Leslie or Alan. But I am sure it was one of them because I really liked that kind of music. I went to Chinatown to buy it. Eventually, I listened to the music as I read the lyrics. In turn, I slowly picked up a lot of Chinese characters.
I attended many different functions to perform Cantonese songs in university because I really liked to sing. I also attended a singing competition organized by the Hong Kong student association. The competition song was ‘Root of Love’. In the end I won second runner-up. I clearly remember International House wanted to organize cultural exchanges so they held international banquets each year. Their hope was for students from different ethnic backgrounds to perform and share their culture.
In 1985, Leslie won an award for singing ‘Monica’. It was a song that I really loved. During the international cultural exchange banquet, I chose to sing ‘Monica’. At that time my classmates were very surprised. How can I sing ‘Monica’? I followed the videos to learn the dance steps and singing techniques. I kept on practicing in public. Other students witnessed how hard I was practicing and came over to help me out. A few classmates became my accompanying dancers as I danced on stage. The performance that night was extremely successful.
Leslie and a group of Hong Kong superstars visited Australia to hold concerts in 1985. The concert organizer needed a voluntary driver. My friends asked me whether I wanted to be the voluntary driver. I accepted the offer. In the end I found out that I would become Leslie’s driver. There was one day when he was on break and did not need to rehearse. We drove to Canberra. It was cloudy and there was light rain on that day. We could not see clearly. After having a coffee, we left. Leslie was next to drive. His English was very good. During the journey back we chatted happily. The trip was very important to me.
In 1986, Alan came to Australia. I was also his driver. Our mutual friend misread my name as “Ho Wing Lun” in front of my idol during his stay at the hotel. I was not able to correct him at the time because Alan (“Wing Lun”) was my idol. Many people thought I was called “Ho Wing Lun” for around two years. His four back-up singers knew I was able to sing Alan’s songs. That was why they told him about it. During rehearsal day, he told me to sing with him on stage. Knowing superstars like Leslie and Alan had a great impact on me. To be able to listen to their songs and to witness the reactions from the audience led me to become interested in a singing career in Hong Kong.
I did not put in a lot of effort in my studies because I always thought of Chinatown and singing. Consequently, I failed my medical examinations in my third year. I had to re-take my subjects. In 1986, I re-took my studies for three months but then I decided to quit school.
In the end I juggled three dish washing jobs and also many months of brick laying work. I saved up a whole year of my salary and bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. I also carried $1000 Australian dollars on me. I then went to Hong Kong to develop my career. I only asked my friend whether I could stay at his place as preparation to living in my new homeland. His father reluctantly agreed but had to receive rent. I did not have anything equipped or prepared. I only purposely bought a one-way ticket because I did not want to easily give up when I encountered minor difficulties and return to Australia.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I did not know anything. I did not have any plans. I also did not have any friends. Initially, I lived in Broadcast Drive but my friend did not live there because he was still studying. I did not have anything to do at first. That was why I hung around Hong Kong for several days. One day, by coincidence, I came across Hung Hom Coliseum. At the entrance, there were four men smoking. They noticed me and surprisingly called out “Ho Wing Lun”. They were, in fact, members of Alan’s band. We have first met in 1986. Surprisingly, they remembered me after a whole year. That is called fate. At that time, Alan was preparing for his concert. The four men brought me inside the Coliseum. I saw Alan. There were 31 shows in his 1987 concert. I watched 30 of them. I intended to watch all 31 shows but there was a slight problem. There were rules at my guest house. After ten thirty each night, the door to the home will be locked. Nobody was allowed to enter or leave the house. But concerts do not end so early. So, after watching each concert in the evening, I would walk to Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk back to Broadcast Drive. I would sleep on the concreate seats outside the park. When the park opens at five in the morning, I will go in and sleep. Eventually, I was unable to handle it. One night I cannot watch a show. Once Alan asked me “Can you sing on stage tonight?” I told him “Of course I can.” I became his special guest. Alan was extremely happy when I first performed. By the second show, he announced that: “There is a westerner who can sing my songs very well.” He called out my name “Ho Wing Lun!” But because I was not at the scene, I did not show up. Eventually, he asked me why I did not show up. I explained my reason to him. He then arranged a hotel for me to stay at until the end of the concert. That was why he was able to call me out the third time! That was my second time as special guest singing “Friends” with him. It was exhilarating. In August, he introduced me as a special guest at his birthday party. Actually, everything happens for a reason and everything is interconnected.
Soon after, I rented a tiny flat at a building in North Point to live in. I walked from North Point to Central once. I came across a recruitment agency looking to hire. I went in to give it a shot. At that time, the staff said I could teach English but I was not a teacher. The staff said it was not a problem and introduced me to work at a learning center. After working there for a few months, a colleague saw a TV station’s poster. They were looking to recruit a westerner but that person needs to be able to speak Cantonese. I called to give it a try. The person who answered was an independent agent. I told that agent I had no experience and my Cantonese was not very good. The agent told me it was not a problem. I went to see the TV station’s female producer. She gave me an English script and wanted me to read it out. I was so nervous that I did not utter a word in five minutes. I told myself, if I do not try, I will regret it for life. The dialogue depicted a police telling off a subordinate. When you tell someone off, you must be very loud so, I read my lines out very loudly. At that time, the female producer was doing her own work and did not care about me but because I was so loud, I frightened her! As there were no other westerners for her to choose from, she had no choice but to hire me. The TV show required two westerners. The other westerner played the main character. From then onwards, I worked at the TV station for twenty years.
In September 2014, I appeared as a guest on a NowTV music program. I was in a band room with the three show hosts. We sang and discussed music. Only recently, I found out that they were the Founders of 100 Most. When it was Christmas, 100 Most invited me to appear on the cover of their magazine. I did not know why they wanted me to do it – only to find out that the Founders of the magazine already knew who I was! It was just me who did not know that.
In August 2015, 100 Most contacted me and asked me whether I wanted to sing this particular song. I was very familiar with the song lyrics. The lyrics were very colloquial. I should be able to learn it. It was Friday. The performance was on Sunday. I only had two days to prepare for it. That was why I practiced very hard. The stage showcased the lyrics. But I tried my best not to look at them. I would only glance at them when I needed to. I felt more confident and assured as I sang.
I was extremely elated to be able to perform on stage. I can play a role singing a wonderful and amusing song. The audience was super warm and excited. It was a moment to be treasured. I know this can only happen once in my life. It cannot be done by myself. It is because I was given a chance by 100 Most. The song was very popular and hit the charts. Before Christmas, 100 Most contacted me and expressed that there would be a final election of the songs. They asked me whether I would like to participate. I was more than happy to give it a try. On the day of the show, each contestant would have two songs.
On the 26th of December, I received the new song. I have never heard of the song before. It was a rap song. I was very unfamiliar with the lyrics. I found them very difficult. That was why I kept practicing it for more than four hundred times. The show was broadcasted live by NowTV. Around seven hundred thousand people watched the broadcast. I cannot imagine winning the Best Hong Kong Male Singer. When my name was announced, I was extremely delighted. Nobody can imagine that a westerner was able to sing a song about ‘real Hong Kong’. It can touch people. It was something that happened at the right place and at the right time. It was also surreal and a complete miracle. It is because the song was not selected by me. It was given to me by others. My eyes were often wet from practicing this song. I was very touched.
It is very difficult for westerners to develop their artistry in the entertainment industry. Chances are slim. They can only play roles that are irrelevant and unimportant. But I never thought of giving up. Five years ago I planned to record my own album. But because of stomach acid reflux, my vocal chords got damaged. My voice became hoarse and coarse. It brought me a lot of frustrations because I have worked hard for many years. Then this happened. I then amended my singing techniques and the issue improved significantly. I was able to sing again. I am now working on re-recording my new album.
A lot of ethnic minority issues materialized around me as of late. I am currently the voice over for a RTHK program about ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. It is very hard for them to develop their career in the local entertainment industry. It is because when 90 percent of the people share the same skin color comes together in a particular place, those watching TV or film will tend to watch people of their own skin color. They may not watch ethnic minorities. If a group of ethnic minorities work together to create a program for the web, it may work out. There are a lot of ethnic minorities residing in Hong Kong. Some of their Chinese is better than mine. They also love Hong Kong very much.
‘Hong Kongers’, to me, are people who need to do things ‘Hong Kongers’ do. Eat Hong Kong food. Care about Hong Kong. And do not look at skin color. I hope they can also speak Cantonese. Most importantly, they should regard Hong Kong as their home. Then, they are ‘real Hong Kongers’.

道長很棒的一篇文，從不被寄送的三本書聊起！

「經過這次遭遇，連我都懷疑，其實「一國兩制」老早就推行到臺灣去了。」

順豐快遞的一國兩制 - 上星期回臺北見見朋友，正是習近平對臺講話出爐，「一國兩制」成為民間熱門話題的時刻，居然恰巧給我碰上一件和一國兩制不知道算不算是有關係的事。

既然到了臺北，免不了又要買一大堆書回來。近幾年身子不如從前，開始搬不動這麼多書了，就只好讓酒店前檯安排速遞。儘管這筆運送費用可能抵得上好幾本書的價錢，但我輩中人都曉得，買書的時候是很難計較這些的。這一次我照辦煮碗，離店那一天留下了好幾袋書，輕輕鬆鬆上路，等着回家檢閱所獲。結果等了幾天都沒有消息，正想打回酒店問問是怎麼回事，就收到了酒店的郵件：

「因為中國最近對文章及書冊內容有管制，有三本書快遞無法替您寄送：

1《滾出中國》
2《大辯論》
3《思想史》

以上三本書已先幫您拿出來存放櫃檯，待您下次入住時再交還給您。此次順豐是以貨到付款方式寄送，之前的信用卡授權會取消。」

這真是讓人意外。我每年都至少回臺北一趟，每一趟都住在同一家酒店，每一次也都請他們替我安排快遞，把書送回香港，可從來都沒發生過類似的事。大概在大陸住得太久，我第一個反應竟然是先檢討自己，看看是不是自己買了什麼不應該買的東西，又寄了些什麼不應該寄的事物。《滾出中國》是我活該，看名字就知道不是什麼好玩意，它就該滾出中國。但是《大辯論》和《思想史》呢？這兩本書有問題嗎？於是我趕緊查了一下，發現《大辯論》原來早有大陸版，只是譯者不同，翻譯出來的書名也不同，簡體字版叫做《大爭論》。這兩個版本，都來自美國保守派公共知識份子Yuval Levin的英文原著《The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of Right and Left》。這本書談的是一個思想史上的重要時刻，那就是法國大革命時期，英國的伯克（Edmund Burke）和潘恩（Thomas Paine）的辯論，一場近代西方思想史上左派與右派之爭的根源性事件。從內容上看，這本書應該一點問題也沒有，更何況它早有大陸「中信出版社」的版本，怎麼會過不了管制？

轉念一想，我卻又覺得這個管制管得有道理了。首先，自從政府幾年前換班之後，大陸書業就有了「回頭看」的做法。意思是凡在「新時代」之前出過的書，都得回頭重新審查。就算是從前經過審批，拿到書號的合法出版物，也都不意味着它在「新時代」就能自動再版再印。可能是過去幾年太過寬鬆，一大堆包裹在「自由」和「民主」等名號下面的書，原來都是夾帶西方所謂「普世價值」的毒草；還有一些批判德國納粹和反省前蘇斯大林時期的歷史著作，分明就是含沙射影，指桑罵槐；更別提一些關於反右、文革乃至於大饑荒的回憶錄和文學作品，那純粹都是「歷史虛無主義」的載體。所以從這個角度來看，《大辯論》就很有可能是以前可以出，但現在絕對不能再上架的那種書了。左派右派這種事，是你們今天可以隨便妄議的嗎？

然而，《大辯論》的簡體版2014年8月面市，離習近平上臺也已過了一年多，是「新時代」的產物，可見它並非栽在「回頭看」手下。那會不會純粹是繁簡二版譯者不同，內容完整程度或者也不一樣，所以必然要把臺灣這個本子當成另一本書來看呢？極有可能。去年就出過這麼一件怪聞。一位名滿天下，望重士林的歷史學家從美國教完書回來，一入境就遭到海關扣起行李箱中的幾本書。其中一本正是這位學者中文論著的英譯版。請注意，這部英文學術專著出自全球最受尊崇的學術出版社之一，而它的中文版還是現在在大陸買得到的學術暢銷書之一，那為什麼換了英文就進不了中國呢？縱使學富五車，這位溫文爾雅，說理通透的大學者，也還是說不過認真負責的中國海關。事後我們都猜，那是海關見到這本書上有「China」這個字，神經自動繃緊的緣故。你知道，今天海關見到X光機中有裝着書的行李，其緊張程度堪與見到毒品相比。

總而言之，法網恢恢，疏而不漏，寧可殺錯一千，不可棄卻一子。於是我也就明白了另外一本書不能從臺灣寄回香港的原因了。那本《思想史》其實是臺灣一本學術期刊，我買的這一期是它的第七期，為了請大家幫我檢討，同時也想聽聽「順豐快遞」的解釋（儘管我知道他們多半不會理我），請大家不要介意我列出這一期《思想史》的完整目錄：

【研究紀要】
理查‧柏克著、陳禹仲譯 什麼是「舊體制」？

不知道各位怎麼想，我猜這裏面比較讓人忌諱的字眼可能是「革命」、「威權」和「舊體制」甚至「啟蒙運動」（總不會是孫中山吧？）。以我對今日氣氛的嗅覺，這些字詞讓人起疑是絕對有可能的。

那麼到底是誰在起疑？誰在害怕？我打電話去追問，酒店的人語焉不詳，就說是「順豐」的意思，和他們無關。如果這是順豐快遞的決策，那這是書籍帶回他們臺北的運送中心之後，有專人在檢查書籍嗎？還是快遞小哥直接在酒店現場一本一本地審閱這些東西合不合格？那是他們手上有一份不准運送的書籍清單？還是反過來，有一份更為浩大的和合格書籍名錄？又或者說，乾脆是他們的工作人員憑自己的判斷力來把握？這些人都是臺灣人對吧？他們是已經經過專門訓練，猶如大陸的審查員那樣，個個慧眼獨具？還是他們在揣摩對岸的意思，想像有些什麼文字和觀念是過不了臺灣海峽的？無論如何我請酒店想想辦法，找回一些我們以前合作過的老夥伴，可是他們卻寧願去郵局專門替我跑一趟，用回最傳統的郵政服務。其實去年之前，這家酒店送快遞回香港給我，不是經過DHL，就是UPS，他們是打從什麼時候開始只用順豐快遞的服務呢？是因為那兩家傳統快遞公司都打不過順豐？還是在臺北住店，而又多有需要托送東西的遊客多半是大陸客，所以為了方便，他們就和順豐快遞獨家捆綁起來？沒辦法，這是市場的力量。大陸的市場那麼大，企業那麼有實力，你能不順着他們走嗎？

當然，香港人對於這個問題，首先要想到的，應該是從什麼時候開始，香港也被納入了這套書籍和文章內容管制的系統？我也抗議過了，告訴這家酒店的員工，從境外寄任何書籍到香港都不是問題，畢竟以我所知，香港還沒有這套管制書籍進出口的法令（也許我所知有限，其實早就有了這套規矩，只是我沒意識到罷了）。電話那一頭，可憐的酒店服務人員支支吾吾，他好像不大相信香港在這方面跟大陸真的不一樣。這不怪他，經過這次遭遇，連我都懷疑，其實「一國兩制」老早就推行到臺灣去了。

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
長い雨に遠ざかる声　足を止めて町を眺める
煙る空がどこか奇麗で　懐かしい場所に変わって
いつも傍にいてくれたよね　俄雨に立ち尽くす日も
ふいに浮かぶ過ぎた景色と　木陰の下　雨宿り

小さくて幼い　それはまるで
泣き虫な誰かみたいで

四月の雨　濡れた羽
雲雀はまだ　飛べずにいる
浅い春の冷たさに身をすぼめて　時を待ち続ける

日差しの種　淡い夢
羽ばたくまで　唄を添えて
遠い空の切れ間へと　五月の花の名を　今は知らずに

長い影と呼びかける声　時を止めて星を見た夜
眠る前に交わした言葉　失くしたくないものばかり

小さくて幼い　それはいつも
泣いていた　傍にいたくて

失くせないもの増えるたび
暖かさに沈んでゆく
通り雨の冷たさに身をすぼめて　歩き出せずにいる

ゆずれないもの　ひとつだけ
鞄の中　仕舞い込んで
今でもまだ覚えてる右手のぬくもりと　唄を頼りに

遠く響く雷鳴には　春の嵐の手招きの音
いつか　ここで　同じ景色を見てた

四月の雨　風に揺れ
雲雀は今　空を見上げ
浅い春の冷たさに身をゆだねて　羽を広げてゆく

ゆずれないもの　ひとつだけ
鞄の中　仕舞い込んで
遠い空の切れ間へと　花咲く五月へと
傘もささずに

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
在漫雨中漸漸萬籟俱寂沉靜，我歇下前進的步履，盼向熟悉的城鎮
絲縷雲霧迷濛的天穹傾刻變化綺麗，為這景色添上一絲懷愁牽念
「你總是在身旁陪伴著我呢，即便我們曾佇足紛揚驟雨沐淋的那天也不曾分離。」
腦中不經意追憶起過往點滴——樹蔭下的休憩、雨樓下的回憶

如此渺小稚嫩又青澀天真，那就彷彿——
某個膽小懦弱的愛哭鬼似

四月的連綿細雨，浸濕了的羽翼
盼望再度飛翔的雲雀，仍未能展翅翱翔
伴隨淺春的凜冽寒峭而蜷縮身軀，靜待時間流淌逝去

播灑陽光的種子，流露微淡柔和的夢想
待到能夠再度擺動羽翼之時，我將在一旁與天空伴歌
願歌聲得以高聲向遙遠天穹迴響，即使我們至今仍未聞，五月盛開綻放的花名

向細長淡去的身影遞去的輕聲呼喚，僅為那一夜的璀璨星空，忘卻了時間的流淌
即便是入眠前與你交會傾露出的話語，全都是我不欲失去的、珍貴的點滴

正是因為這份稚嫩與青澀，所以才總是——
總是在哭泣，流著淚渴望你陪伴在身邊

倘若，能獲得更多無法失去的事物
便令人更加無法自拔地沉浸在它的和煦溫暖中
僅因短暫降雨的寒意便蜷縮身軀，動彈不得、更沒有勇氣邁出步伐

無法退讓、畏懼失去的，僅此唯一
緊緊收起、深深地埋藏在，所背負的行囊之中
至今仍舊得以憶起，右手曾包裹住的柔和與溫暖，正藉著奏響的春頌煦煦傳來

遠處嘹亮迴響的雷鳴，宛若在春天的暴風中招手的聲響
曾幾何時，也曾在此處，看見同樣的景色

四月的連綿細雨，隨著清風搖曳紛飛
雲雀現在已能，昂首仰望天空
接受淺春的凜冽寒峭，而任憑身軀，張開翅膀翱翔離去

無法退讓、畏懼失去的，僅此唯一
緊緊收起、深深地埋藏在，所背負的行囊之中
靜待真摯的情感抵達那片天際的盡頭；抵達錦簇繁花盛開綻放的五月時節
也可從此收起，這把度過春雨的傘了

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Upon hearing the fading voice in the middle of the rain
I stopped walking to gaze upon the city
The hazy sky is turning into
somewhere beautiful and nostalgic

You have always stayed by my side, you even
stood still on days when the rain pours unceasingly
even as scenery floated past unexpectedly
under the shelter of the trees

The small and young something is just like
someone who cries easily

The lark is still unable to fly
as its wings were drenched by the April Showers
In the cold of early spring
it furls its body, awaiting the passing of time

Just as this dream with subdued colours
is adorned by seeds of sunlight,
I will adorn the lark with poems until its wings could flap again
and it can fly to the distant skies
without knowing the name of the flower in May

A long shadow and a voice calling out to me,
the night I stopped time and saw the stars,
words exchanged before going to sleep,
these are all the things I do not want to lose

The small and young something
is always crying, wanting to stay by my side

When the things you can’t afford to lose ever increases
submerge everything in warmth
In the coldness of the passing rain
it furls its body, and stayed still

The one thing I can’t afford to lose
is buried inside my bag
Even now, as I depend on a song
I can still remember the warmth of your right hand

The distant echo of booming thunder
is the sound of the beckoning spring storm
I will see the same scenery here someday

The April Shower is swayed by the wind
The lark is now looking at the sky
In the cold of early spring
It spreads its wings in abandon

The one thing I can’t afford to lose
is buried inside my bag
I head on to the distant skies and
I head on into the month of May, where flowers bloom
without opening my umbrella

Battlefield 1 wastes little time in conveying the savagery of World War 1. The inevitability of death is the focus of the bleak story prologue. A burning man’s screams can be heard at the start of every multiplayer match in the Argonne Forest. It’s ruination on a multi-continental scale, a conflict so large that its location menus showcase a large portion of the Earth...

《戰地風雲 1》由 DICE 開發，同樣採用「寒霜（Frostbite）」引擎製作，主題則回歸 20 世紀初期奠定現代戰爭典型的第一次世界大戰。玩家將參與包括法國城市突圍巷戰，義大利阿爾卑斯山空曠地形戰，或是阿拉伯的沙漠戰，駕駛坦克、摩托車，雙翼飛機與巨型戰艦來協助戰事進行...
