【Lunch Hour都未完，對家已經告急】
過去5個月嚟，香港經歷風風雨雨，由200萬人上街，幾千粒催淚彈喺街頭橫飛，5000名手足被捕，黑警暴力濫捕日常，校園被黑警入侵，林鄭極權政府仍然漠視香港人五大訴求。
我認為不論體制外內，香港人仍須努力抗爭，今日喺區議會投票，議會係一條戰線，需要每一位香港人一齊用選票，踢走撐送中條例嘅保皇黨，向林鄭表達我地對自由民主嘅堅持。
午飯都未食完，陳家珮已經為選情告急，但其實由六月開始，香港已經告急左五個月嘅時間。個人喺海怡半島觀察，後生仔女投票比例仲未足夠，我呼籲各位年輕手足踴躍投票，一票不能少。
【大使館發言人批評意大利國會邀請我作聽證 外交部長反駁斥捍衛言論自由】
感謝意大利國會議員邀請，日前我藉視像通話方式，參與意大利國會外交及人權委員會的聽證會，呼籲意大利支持香港實現民主普選，停止出口衝鋒車予香港警察，亦鼓勵他們參考《香港人權民主法案》醞釀制裁機制。
聽證結束以後，本來當地關注尚算有限，但中國駐意大利使館發言人高調發表聲明批評意大利國會議員「執意與黃之鋒搞視頻通話，為港獨分子撐腰」，就令到香港議題再度進佔輿論版面。
根據「中國外交Bingo紙」，聲明內文中了至少9個關鍵詞，包括斥我「竭力 #顛倒黑白，#美化暴力，詆毁一國兩制……是個徹頭徹尾的港獨 #跳樑小丑」，還有「#極其錯誤、#不負責任」，表示 #強烈不滿、#堅決反對，呼籲有關人士 #尊重主權（？？？），多做有利中意友好與合作事宜，這只反映中國外交系統何等「玻璃心」。
據意大利記者告知，中國駐意大利大使館發言人的取態，導致意大利外交部長及國會議員先後回應，表明捍衛言論自由，反對中國政府阻礙交流；同時，政界與傳媒亦深深體會到中共威權擴張的可怕，相信此舉只會有助香港令國際社會明白，為何與香港同行就是捍衛自由。
作用曾遭中共駐多國使館均曾批評人士，我已對一切批評見怪不怪，也由衷感謝中國外交系統的批評，往往本來聽證會也沒有甚麼關注，但只要大使館發言批評，就令到香港議題再度進佔輿論版面。我會繼續努力，讓世界看見香港，與香港同行。
最後，附上自己的國會發言全文給各位細閱：

Italy Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Testimony by Joshua Wong
Good afternoon,
May I first express our heartfelt gratitude to the Senate’s generous invitation to give testimony before the honourable Senators and Congressmen, even though I’m not allowed to fly to Italy. The very moment I was rejected by the court to travel, I felt that it was even worse than deciding my sentences in jail as I would not be able to meet with friends in Europe to explain our cause for democracy and freedom.
Implications of Local Election result
As you may aware of Hong Kong’s local election record-high turnout, almost 3 million Hong Kong people, in a community and policy-based election, had cast ballot to express our discontent to the government and huge distrust to the Beijing authorities. Democrats went up to 385 seats, but the largest pro-Beijing party DAB, who owned 119 seats in the last term, had reduced to 21 seats.
The significance of this election to the world is that HK's current political crisis must be resolved by political solution, instead of policing force. The implications of this election are more than the number of seats in the council, but a sharp political message to the world that Hong Kong people stand with fellow protestors, and our resolve to free elections and a thoroughly independent investigation on police brutality. These humble demands are denied by China since 1997.
Civil Liberties Denied
Unfortunately, I have the most frequent encounters of civil liberties deprivation recently. At first, I went protesting against the controversial extradition bill, exercising my freedom to assembly. The government arrested me and charged me of inciting people taking part in an unlawful assembly. Then I went contesting in this local election, yet the government banned me from running for office because of my political stance. I turned to international advocacy, planning to fly to Italy explain to friends in Europe our democratic and peaceful cause. Regrettably, the court thought this Senate hearing is not important and rejected my travel application. Following the court decision, it's clear now I'm deprived of the right to election, freedom of movement, freedom of assembly (not allowed to appear on designated area), and freedom of speech. The civil liberties guaranteed in the constitution are however no longer applicable to me.
The principle of ‘One Country, Two Systems’ is a fragile ruling philosophy defining China-Hong Kong relations, guaranteeing the global financial city its autonomy. But in the past 22 years, Beijing intervened on many fronts already. Since 2014, Hong Kong’s civil society, particularly student leaders, had become the target of revenge in the past 5 years. I was arrested for 3 times, prosecuted and later imprisoned for my leading role in the Umbrella Movement. My colleague, Nathan Law, the youngest Councillor in HK’s history, was unseated and later imprisoned for the same reason. So this time people learnt from the experience and not to rely on particular ‘leading activists’ in order to prevent them from exposing to political prosecution. Besides, In the past three years, altogether Six elected legislators are disqualified for ridiculous reasons and led to an uninvited constitutional re-interpretation by Beijing.
Most recently in last week, Chinese troops, not only ready to be deployed, they have actually deployed soldiers near university area with an excuse to 'clear the barricades' of the streets. It is important to voice out to the global community, which is an attempt to coerce China's aggressive behavior using international pressure.
Trusted and Self-correcting protestors VS Abusive Police Power
In the past five months, I took a lot of interviews from journalists all over the world who are interested in reporting Hong Kong. They often find it difficult to understand why a social movement can be led without a leader, why protestors’ use of force is tolerated by fellow Hong Kong people and whether there is foreign forces behind this movement. Behind all these questions, I would like to appeal to you two messages:
firstly, the police brutality is far more serious than what is reported. Pregnant women also got beaten by police; young female (who is not a protestor) was gang raped inside the police station and many others
Secondly, there is strong and mutual trust among protestors. Certainly, protestors always have different tactical viewpoints. But there are apparently some principles guiding protestors’ decision-making, to name a few: to achieve the five demands, to prevent casualty, to avoid being arrested and to achieve mass support. These principles are essential, although we have suffered a lot of notorious police brutality in the past five months, making us more determined to fight for the five demands in solidarity.
As I mentioned the above, I realise these features are the important elements when practising democracy - mutual trust, transparency, people’s mandate, checks-and-balance. It is just ironic that Hong Kong is far from practising full democracy and free election under the authoritarian rule of Xi Jinping.
Another Frontier: International Advocacy
International advocacy is another frontier that Hong Kong people are keen on taking part in. It is the reason why I find compelled to travel and explain our cause and demands to the world. Before testifying in this committee, I attended an assembly an hour ago to yield for international support and to express our acknowledgement to advocacy efforts on the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. The bill is signed by the US President today to coerce and prevent further human rights violation in Hong Kong. I also wrote to several Italian papers to share the viewpoints of the protestors during this period. To enhance the understanding of Hong Kong and deteriorating human right situation in China is essential for world leaders to make an informed choice in their collaboration with the Chinese authorities too.
Why Italy should care about Hong Kong?
However, I have to say I'm quite disappointed reading the Italy Foreign Minister’s Luigi Di Maio indifferent remarks on the dire human rights situation in Hong Kong. Prolonged police brutality since June this year, what protestors facing are live round bullets. Not to mention the fact that some Italian car factories like IVECO did play a part in the brutality of Hong Kong police by supplying police vehicles. I believe a responsible state like Italy should take the conscience of human dignity into consideration.
In fact, Hong Kong can serve as a story to learn from. We were unaware of the Chinese regime's intention to gain influence and control over our economy in the early years. And our economy now is to some extent too reliant on China, which makes our battle for freedom and democracy harder. Italy should stay alert to the reliance on Chinese economic interests. There's no free lunch in the world.
Many would say I am over worrying or being too skeptical about China. But the truth is China is known for not playing by the rules and has a notorious track record for its human rights violations. The failure of 'One Country Two Systems' in Hong Kong represents the notorious track record of China not honouring the international treaty signed in 1984. Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of Muslim Uighurs have been detained in camps without trial now. Victims have come forth and said they are forced to take medicines that lead to infertility, young female Uighurs are forced into marriage with Chinese officials to exchange for the safety of their families. 30 years ago, the Chinese Government sent tanks against its own people on the 4th June despite the public and global attention. It almost happened last week in two universities lockdown and it is my view that the international pressure had prevented this massacre from happening.
Possible Actions by Italy
Finally, I understand that Business leaders and politicians worry that if they directly confront China on its human rights abuses, it could jeopardize future deals. Yet it is my humble wish Italy will also be truth-ful to the promises the European Union has made. EU have pledged themselves to defend and advocate for human rights in neighboring countries and the world and promised to never directly or indirectly encourage human rights violations. Italy and the rest of the free world should refrain from turning a blind eye to this.
Our position is clear: HK people are defending not only the civil liberties, democratic values and economic freedom of this international city. Standing up against the largest authoritarian regime after the Cold War, we shall continue our fight for democracy lest HK becomes a police state nor an authoritarian state. I appeal to you to stand with the people of Hong Kong.
Thank you.

呢份工已經係一年半之前，當時我經獵頭公司搵到份Merchandising Manager，老闆係英國人，公司賣Outdoor Furniture，即係好似香港有啲室外露天酒吧嘅枱同梳化、燒烤爐、可以整串燒嘅機、太陽傘……不過重點都唔係呢啲，而係英國老闆本人唔喺香港，公司基地喺倫敦，佢喺香港開一間office負責做串連角色，因為需要有人同大陸廠方面接洽。
呢個office喺觀塘碼頭附近，一個大單位拆開佢分租嗰隻，見工嗰陣係skype，其實做咗一年半都係見過英國老闆真人兩次咁大把，佢好少飛嚟香港。鬼佬最初話會請多三至四個staff，全部under我，話之你請幾多個啦，最緊要有糧出啫，當時agent幫我叫到30,000一個月。
我都唔肯定呢份工有冇其他求職者同我爭，總之最後就請咗啦，頭一個月做嘅嘢非常濕碎，就好似Admin一樣，公司乜都未有，我負責訂紙訂水訂文具，讓佢單手都好快做完，因為啲嘢得我一個用，唔會好似其他公司消耗得咁快。
第二個月，老細仲未正式畀啲實際同Merchandising Manager有關嘅工作我做，所以嗰陣超得閒，幾乎煲晒啲美劇，然後悶悶地就開始download AV，最頂癮係雖然得我一個，但都有打卡機，係鬼佬叫我買嘅，基本上我好準時，最多打完卡之後瞓一陣先煲劇囉！
蜜月期過後，工作開始殺到埋身喇，有咁耐風流就有咁耐折墜，應該嘅，否則佢完全冇嘢畀我做，轉頭執笠咪仲大鑊。只係啲工作一係唔嚟，一嚟就痴晒線，人哋正常公司分晒merchandiser、product development、cs、shipping、account、sales、admin，仲有清潔嬸嬸嘅工作，因為係one man band office，所以就得我一個人做晒，當時已經冇時間睇AV喇，亦好驚再download落去會中毒，我唔想做埋IT整機呀！
工作變化咁大，我開始提英國老闆要請人，但係個鬼佬完全ignore我，好似認為既然一個人搞得掂，就唔好再嘥錢請人。
我都好唔爭氣嘅，因為份糧而繼續留低，香港做merchandiser已經好黃昏，而家嘅工作量係多，後期係日日做到朝九晚十，不過我唔肯定可唔可以搵得返30,000人工，所以就一直做落去。
只係咁嘅工作量如果唔請人，我總有一日會跪低，one man band office好難請假，而且開始覺得自己性格怪怪哋，我平時喺office冇同事，習慣自言自語，發覺自己同自己講嘢嘅情況多咗，有時仲會無聊到大叫（唔係悶嗰種無聊，係忙得嚟又冇人同你講嘢，好似去咗黑洞咁），仲會自己喺office跳舞，再係咁真係唔掂，終於我決定辭職，想做一間正常啲嘅公司，減薪轉工都冇問題。
不過我辭職單嘢拖拖拉拉咗好耐，主要係英國老闆唔批，軟硬兼施叫我留低，最後我有少少躁底，鬼佬亦唔再堅持，但係就有個條件－－－要幫佢請到人先走得，我答應咗，所以……
我又做埋HR🤦🏻♂️
當時請人都請咗一段時間，唯一慶幸係英國老闆冇set特定框架，男女都得，只係上嚟見工嘅人望完公司環境都唔肯返工，加上嗰度係工廈拆出嚟嘅分租office，我隔離個單位同埋前幾個都租咗畀人做band房，雖然唔會office hour jam歌，不過第二日返嚟就會發現成條走廊都係煙頭，煙味亦好濃，都幾惡劣㗎。
後來有個50歲嘅阿叔嚟interview，正式傾完之後，我就loop HR嘅經典對白：「你有冇咩想了解或者問返我？」
阿叔：「我想問下，係咪可以喺office食煙？」
真係突破盲腸，聶瞳你成日教啲求職者點見工，不如你試下叫人咁樣問吖，我好想知其他HR會點答。
我：「唔得呀，有煙霧感應器㗎！你出走廊食啦！冇人理你，不過記得出去之前要鎖門，因為得你一個。」
阿叔：「要行出行入咁麻煩呀？」
屌你咩阿叔，你以前公司可以坐喺位食煙㗎？Merchandiser喎！不過聽到佢猶豫，我個心仲怯過佢，唔好呀，你唔好唔做呀！
我：「嗱，不過講真，呢度就好自由嘅，英國老闆又好好人，佢遲啲會請幾個人幫你㗎喇，冇嘢做咪煲下劇囉，唔知你啱唔啱，部腦有好多AV，記得戴耳機睇就得，唔鍾意就delete啦，其他嘢自己執生，好易做㗎啫。」
阿叔：「咁過癮？啱喎！但係點解咁free你又唔做嘅？」
我：「哦，因為……我屋企有間茶餐廳，阿爸想我打理，咁冇理由唔幫自己人嘛！」（我屋企有撚茶餐廳咩）
如是者，阿叔就replace咗我，我用咗一個星期教佢嘢，呢個星期盡量粉飾太平，對唔住呀！我真係冇辦法先出呢招，原諒我，臨走我再請阿叔食個lunch，大家冇拖冇欠，唔知佢而家仲有冇做呢？

Deliveroo、Food Panda及Ubereats是近年新興的外賣apps，今次我們在中環Lunch hour以真金白銀形式進行實試，我們位處的蘇豪區，以Food panda餐廳選擇最多，有211間，而Deliveroo有182間及Ubereats則最少，只有135間。我們在三個外賣Apps選擇同一間的越南粉店PHO Bar，食物價錢相同，同樣收取20元外賣費用，但連外賣費用價錢較堂食貴51元。我們實測落單、加單狀況，竟發現其中一間系統不穩定，加單亦要收取多一次外賣費用，相對麻煩。想知邊間最方便快捷？邊間服務最好？睇片啦！
