《小說故事創作 (Part1）by 八歲小貝拉》

1847年。

吃完晚飯，我繼續在餐桌寫著我的故事。

『已經很晚了。』媽媽提醒我。

我好討厭深夜，因為深夜裡有很多可怕的東西跑出來，例如：木乃伊，怪物，鬼魂，雪人…等。

我回到房間，看見姐姐艾瑪正在梳頭，她的頭髮是如此柔順美麗，不像我的頭髮又髒又亂，我坐下來想要改變自己的樣子，於是我看著鏡子一直說：『我很漂亮、我很美麗、我很漂亮、我很美麗…』這些話使我頭暈目眩。

隔日，星期天早晨，媽媽總是很忙，我在廚房興奮地跳來跳去，我想趕快見凱蒂，也想吃點餅乾，那種脆脆的餅乾。姐姐依然很漂亮，她穿著天藍色的洋裝上面綴著白色蝴蝶結在我面前飛舞。

『完了，凱蒂一定在等我！』我大喊。

媽媽立刻給我一塊麵包，她吩咐：『一路小心，妳必須在…』

『在十二點前回家，我知道了！』我離開了家，跑過樹林。

『衝啊！』我彷彿聽到了那些大樹不停地在我耳邊咆嘯，大聲且清晰。

今天天氣好冷，好像在最冷的冬日吃了49球冰淇淋一樣！

『嘿！』我向凱蒂揮手。

『你還好嗎？』凱蒂憂心問我：『我是說妳看起來好像吃了48球冰淇淋。』

『是49球冰淇淋。』我指正她。

凱蒂很困惑，用一種「我老是在不恰當的時候說了一句不該說的話」的那張臉看著我。

接著，我們走到了小溪邊。我們準備了兩個瓶子，要玩了一個名為“水花瓶子”的遊戲。我們在瓶子上打了個洞，把瓶子裝滿水，然後相互潑濺在對方的頭上，好似淋雨一般，也好像正在跟一位頑皮的男孩玩灑水遊戲！

『碰！』我和凱蒂忽然間聽見怪聲。我們嚇到，宛如兩個吃了100球冰淇淋的雪人，僵住了！

凱蒂原本是很勇敢的；但是現在看起來跟我一樣害怕。

『妳不是很勇敢嗎？為什麼妳現在看起來不像。』我壓低了聲音。

凱蒂看著我，嚴肅地說：『我們不應該在這時候開玩笑。』

凱蒂用腳尖輕輕走路，然後踏進溪流，水發出飛濺的聲音『啪噓、啪噓…』

『噓，妳正在把外星人嚇跑！』我小聲提醒凱蒂。

她點了點頭，用非常緩慢的速度前進，並專注凝視著那東西，然後一把握住它！

『噢，這是一隻可憐的小兔子。』凱蒂看著兔子，甚至…已經喜歡上牠。

『牠好像睡著了。』凱蒂像個嬰兒一樣，緊緊抱住兔子。凱蒂的擁抱有時不是一件好事，因為她總是顯得太興奮。

『我們可以來抓一些葉子使它變軟來餵牠。』我摸著兔子說。

『我們應該把牠交給黛拉。』凱蒂建議：『黛拉是一位非常優秀的動物護士，她只有九歲，但快十歲了。』

我們走著走著，終於到了黛拉的密室，那外頭有很多小動物正在等著她的幫助，所以她可能很忙。我們進了小屋棚，那是一間用樹葉和樹枝蓋成的小房子。我們東瞧西看，屋內有很多食物、藥品、水和其他東西。

黛拉正抱著一隻可愛嬌小的老鼠，名叫艾莉絲。

『這隻可憐的小兔子受傷了而且被遺棄，快救救她或他！』凱蒂抱著兔子快步走向黛拉，急促地請求幫助。

黛拉接過兔子仔細端詳說：『我會幫這隻兔子看看牠有什麼毛病，也會確認牠是她或他。』

凱蒂聽後，開心使盡地緊緊抱住黛拉。

『別開心太早！我們還不知道牠是否有什麼問題？』黛拉冷靜地說。

《Story writing (Part 2) by Bella Chang, 8yrs old》

1847

I ate my dinner then did my work.

"It's going to be late. " Mom said.

I hate night, because there are many scary things coming out in the late night, like mummies, monsters, ghosts, snowmen...etc.

I went back to the room and saw my big sister Emma brushing her hair. Her hair is so soft and smooth, not like my hair is dirty and messy. I sit down and want to change my look. So I look at the mirror and keep saying: "I am beautiful, I am beautiful, I am beautiful, I am beautiful! " All that words made me dizzy.

The next Sunday morning, my mother is always busy. I hopped around happily in the kitchen. I want to meet Katie as soon as possible, and I want to eat some cookies, the crunchy cookies. My sister is still beautiful, she is swing her dress in front of me, it's like a sky blue color with a white bow.

"Katie must be waiting for me! "I yelled.
My mom gave me a piece of bread. She reminded me：" Stay safe and come back before…."

"I know before 12:00. "I left home and ran across the trees.

"RUSH!" I heard those big trees roaring in my ears, loud and clear.

The weather is so cold, feeling like eating 49 balls of ice cream on the coldest winter day!

"Hey! "I waved to Katie.

"Are you ok? "Katie asked me worried: "I mean you look like to have eaten 48 balls of ice cream."

"It's 49 balls of ice cream. "I corrected her.

Katie was confused and looked at me with a face that "with one of my not the right time to say that."

Later, we walked down to the creek. We had two bottles, and played a game called "Splashed bottle!". We made a hole in the bottle, filled the bottle with water, and then splashed water over our heads, like it's raining, and also like we were playing with a mean boy!

"Bump! " Suddenly, Katie and I heard strange noises.

We froze like two snowmen who ate 100 balls of ice cream.

Katie was brave, but now...
"I thought you were brave why don't I see it now" I said super duper cooper quietly.

She looked at me and scared so was I.
"We shouldn't be joking at this right moment. "Katie Said.

Katie tip toe then went across the creek. "Splash splash……"

"Shhh… you are making the alien go away! "

She nodded, moved forward slowly, stared at the thing, and then grasped it!
"Oh, it is a poor little bunny. " Katie looked at the rabbit, even... already loved it.

"The bunny went to sleep?" Katie hugged the bunny so tightly like a baby. Sometimes Katie's hug is not a good thing, because she always kinda too excited.

"Let's grab a hull bunch of leaves to make it soft and feed. "
"We should give it to Della." Katie suggested: "Della is nice nurse for animals. She is only 9 years old, but almost 10. 』

As we walked and walked, we finally arrived at Della's hideout. There were many small animals staying outside waiting for her help, so she might be very busy.

We went inside the the little hut, which like a small house made of leaves and sticks. We looked around, there were a lot of food, medicine, water and other things.

Della is holding a cute and petite mouse named Alice.

"This poor little bunny was hurt and unloved. You need to help him or her!" Katie walked quickly to Della and said very very fast.

Della looked at the bunny very close. "I will see what is wrong with the bunny and tell you it's a girl or boy. "

Katie hugged Della tight as she could.

"Don't be that happy, we still don’t know if it's OK? Della said.

海洋是個廣闊無窮的美麗好地方，蘊涵著無數的驚奇，除了承載著海洋生態以外，陸地生態也與之息息相關。我們的海洋調節著氣候、氧氣、溫度。人類需要海洋才得以生存。

很不幸的，由於我們的疏失，海洋現在需要我們的幫助。氾濫的塑膠垃圾、海水溫度上升、過渡捕撈、海洋酸化、工業與農業用化學品排放海中等等。基本上，所有的海洋生物都的生存都受到了威脅。這不是杞人憂天，而是現在進行式的事實。

我學習PADI 潛水課程的原因，因為淺層海水生態系在滅絕。珊瑚白化，魚兒都被捕撈走了，表層海水了無生氣不像過去那般值得探索，想看看海中生態，需要進入更深的水中，這是全世界都面臨的問題，在台灣，同樣的危機也在發生。

時間尚未太晚，生命富有韌性。海洋尚存一線生機，但還能撐多久？我建議大家安排一趟旅程看看水下的世界，理由如下：

1）時間所剩無幾，海洋正在產生劇變，現在會是短期可預見的未來中，您有機會見到的最佳海洋樣貌。現在上路吧！當我們還看得到些什麼的時候。

2）看看海洋的真實樣貌，或許能改變您對消費以及丟棄產品的想法，或許能改變您對社會及經濟運作方式想法，我們該如何衡量價值？若每一位CEO以及政治人物都被要求潛入海中看看，或許這世界有機會變得不一樣！

我這次去了小琉球學水肺潛水。小琉球除了很簡單容易到之外，因地理位置關係，水溫及浪況整年都適合潛水。我的教練是NEMO，他很專業也很注重安全細節，而且中文、英文都沒問題。如果你有興趣想知道更多資訊或是安排來一趟體驗潛水，我非常建議與他聯絡，臉書連結在下面這邊：島氮潛水社 Playful Dive Club

The oceans are a vast and amazing wonderland. They hold uncountable wonders and support not only marine life, but all all life on land as well. Our oceans regulate the weather, oxygen, temperature. We need our oceans to survive.

Unfortunately, due to our negligence, the oceans need us to survive now as well. They are under threat from plastic pollution, rising temperatures, over fishing, and acidification from atmospheric CO2 absorption, and chemical runoff from industry and agriculture. Almost all marine species are under threat. That's not an exaggeration. That is the reality.

I studied for my PADI SCUBA diving license because the ocean life on the surface is disappearing. The reefs are bleaching, the fish have all been fished, and there isn't as much to see as there used to be. To see healthy ocean life now, we need to go deeper. This is the case all over the world, but it's also the case here in Taiwan.

It's not too late. Life is tenacious. The ocean is hanging on. But for how much longer? I recommend that everyone takes a trip underwater now. For two important reasons.

1) Time is running out. The oceans are changing. This is the best it will it be in the near future. Go now while you still can.

2) To see the oceans how they really are. It may change your opinion about how we consume and dispose of products. It may change your opinion about how we run our society, and economy. What is it we really value? The world would be a very different place is every CEO and every politician was required to go SCUBA diving.

I studied on Xiaoliuqiu, which is a convenient place to SCUBA dive because the water temperature is good, and the island is protected from waves, so you can go diving all year round. My instructors name was Nemo, he's very safe and professional, and can teach in both English and Chinese. If you would like to know more, or go on a discovery dive, I highly recommend contacting him.

【After Winning Majority in LegCo: Beijing's Crackdown May Trigger International Intervention】

***感謝Hong Kong Columns - Translated，將我早前撰寫『議會過半想像：以「#國際攬炒」反制「臨立會2.0」』長文（https://www.facebook.com/joshuawongchifung/photos/a.313299448762570/2887650867994069/）翻譯成英文，鼓勵國際社會關注立會選舉一旦過半的沙盤推演，在最惡劣形勢下的制衡策略。***

中文精簡版本：https://www.facebook.com/joshuawongchifung/photos/a.564294826996363/2888641404561682/

Hongkongers have experienced our revolution for over half a year. They no longer take a consequentialist view to the effectiveness of their movement as they did years ago, or waste time second-guessing the intentions and background of fellow activists. Following the defensive battles at CUHK and PolyU, November’s District Council election saw a great victory of unity. More marvellous is the union between peaceful and “valiant” protesters.

In the process of resisting tyranny, the people have realised that one cannot prioritize one strategy over another. This is also how the common goal of “35+” came into being—the hope that we will win over half of the seats in the Legislative Council (LegCo) this September, such that the political spectrum that represents the majority of Hongkongers is able to gain control of legislative decisions. The political clout of Hongkongers will increase if 35 or more seats are successfully secured on our side. It is certainly one vital step to achieve the five demands within the system.

The possibility of realizing legislative majority

Technically it is not unrealistic to win a majority even under the current undemocratic system. Back in the 2016 LegCo election, we already won 30 seats. In addition to the District Council (First) functional constituency seat that is already in the pocket of the pan-democrats, as long as the candidates in Kowloon East and New Territories West do not start infighting again, we could safely secure 33 seats based on the number of pan-dem votes in 2016.

The other 3 seats required to achieve a majority depend on democrats’ breakthrough among the functional constituencies by dispersing the resources of the Liaison Office. They also count on whether the turnout this September could exceed 71.2% — that of last year’s District Council elections. Some of the factors that could affect the turnout include: will the epidemic persist into the summer? Will there be potential violent repression of protests in the 2 weeks preceding the election? Will Hong Kong-US relations be affected by the downturn of the global economy?

Therefore, the ambition of “35+” is to be prioritised by the resistance as both a means and an end. I have already expressed my support for an intra-party primary at the coordination meeting. In the meantime, it is pleasing to see the ongoing debates reaching a consensus of maximising the seats among geographical constituencies in the upcoming election.

Whilst enthusiastic coordination, we should also assess the post-election landscape and gauge Beijing’s reactions: if we do not reach 35 seats, Hong Kong will be subject to tighter control and more severe repression by China; but if the democratic parties successfully form a majority in LegCo, CCP’s fears of a “constitutional crisis” would become imminent. Hence, the key questions are how the Pan-Democrats should deal with the volatile political situation in Hong Kong and how they are going to meet Beijing’s charge head-on.

Watching out for Beijing’s dismissal of LegCo after reaching majority

To take back control of LegCo such that it faithfully reflects the majority’s principles and needs is the definition of a healthy democracy. Recently, however, DAB’s Tam Yiu-chung has warned that the plan of the Pan-Dems to “usurp power” in the LegCo would only lead to Beijing’s forceful disqualification of certain members or the interpretation of the Basic Law. This proves that winning a majority in LegCo is not only a popular conception but also a realistic challenge that would get on the nerves of Beijing. Could Beijing accept a President James To in LegCo? These unknown variables must be addressed upon achieving a majority.

While there is no telltale sign as to Beijing’s exact strategy, we are already familiar with the way CCP manipulated the Basic Law in the past 4 years. Having experienced three waves of disqualifications in LegCo, twice kicked out of LegCo with my team, and thrice locked up in jail, I have no false hopes of an easy compromise from Beijing: they would not let Pan-Dems control LegCo for half a year and wait (as is the proper procedure) until after having negatived the Budget to dissolve the legislature, and thereby giving them an easy victory in the re-elections. The greater the Pan-Dems threaten Beijing’s rule in Hong Kong, the more likely that it will trigger Beijing’s repression.

Since the disqualification and arrest of lawmakers have already become “normalised”, one can even imagine the police stepping into the LegCo building to force Pan-Dems into voting. Neither is it beyond our imagination to expect the CCP to kick out all 70 lawmakers in a fit of rage and replace them with a provisional LegCo “2.0” [HKCT note: The first was from 25 Jan 1997 to 30 Jun 1998]. To depend on a majority that could lead to a chapter of a “new testament” for One Country, Two Systems is perhaps what many elites long for, but they are overly optimistic:for a ticket to the promised land will not be available at the Chief Executive election campaign a year and a half later.

Admittedly, the Pan-Dems cannot unilaterally initiate “Laam-chaau” [HKCT note: mostly translated into “scorched-earth” mentality or “mutual destruction”; some even translated into “If I burn, you burn with us”]. The most they can do is to force a standstill of the government, and not for long the LegCo will have been eliminated from the equation to make the wheels turn again. It all leaves the plan of “Negativing the motion → Dissolving LegCo → Re-election after re-election → the stepping down of Carrie Lam” merely as overly positive speculation, probably resulting from their overestimate of CCP's capacity for rational calculation. The Pan-Dems must guard their frontlines and recognise what the biggest threat from Hong Kong to China could be. In this case, should LegCo sessions be disrupted or suspended, the Pan-Dems would have to be well prepared to surmount the expected obstacles and prevent the disqualification crisis 4 years ago—a Catch-22 indeed.

Productive tension from global intervention: Using Laam-chaau against the CCP

What aggravates the CCP the most is the potential threat to Hong Kong’s unique status as the one and only “separate customs territory”. Any miscalculation will compromise its role as the Chinese economy’s “white gloves”. Imagine if CCP were to disqualify all 70 elected lawmakers and convene a meeting north of the Shenzhen River to pass a resolution to Hong Kong’s affairs (much like the Provisional Legislative Council “1.0" in 1997), how great will the shock be in a world with an effective Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act? However hard it is to predict the future one thing is certain: With the US presidential election just around the corner, blows to the separation of powers would not be tolerated, and the West would necessarily effect countermeasures against the Hong Kong government.

Beijing has been relying upon Hong Kong to navigate the international community for decades. While clamping down on the political freedom of the cosmopolitan city, Beijing desires to maintain the financial centre’s economic freedom. Hence, we started lobbying for the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act four years ago, and today we are determined to promote “Laam-chaau” on an international scale.

The will of the voters must be reflected in an election. If a “35+” legislature were to be dismissed and replaced, such flagrant violation of democracy would assuredly cause a greater backlash than the infamous extradition bill. Knowing what the reality ahead of us could be, we have to combine our election and international strategies to oppose the placement of a 35+ LegCo with an “Emergency Legislative Council 2.0”, to advance an international “Laam-chaau” to Hong Kong’s status as “separate customs territory”. Only then will we stand a chance to resist the regime and to realise the five demands.

Adjusting our mindset: Overcoming the “constitutional crisis” to reach a resolution

Upon the realization of the “35+” LegCo, it is expected that the CCP will launch a devastating counterattack. The Pan-Dems should not expect LegCo to run normally; neither can the lawmakers realise their governing blueprints they have for Hong Kong. Rather, candidates will be able to compete against one another with visions of a liberated Hong Kong through popular vote. Bringing this point up has nothing to do with undermining the common goal of reaching a majority in LegCo, but rather channels the battle of LegCo to positive use upon the rule of law’s death and a “constitutional crisis” ahead. Knowing that Hongkongers have nothing to fall back on, all Pan-Dems should not miss the only way to the realization of “35+”.

Thus, be they partisans, nonpartisans, incumbent politicians, amateur politicians, or the civil society as a whole – if we stay in the political discourse of 2016 and continue to perpetuate old stereotypes, that is to deal with the divisions on the pan-democratic camp by favouring the most “local” faction; to consider only resource allocation and self-aggrandizement as the purpose of a LegCo campaign; to ignore how potential lawmakers are fitted to what specific roles; to turn a blind eye to the journey of resistance since last summer (extending indefinitely into the future)—They would lead as astray and cost us lose a precious opportunity for change by winning a 35+ majority.

The extent to which the pan-democrats can stay united in light of the political atmosphere since last summer is another problem that our side must to address. Before the watershed moment of 12th June 2019, many democratic delegates were trapped in the mentality of needing to “preserve people’s livelihood”, “be content of what we have accomplished”, and other strategies that favours stability. As the government refuses to heed to the five demands, whether the democrats, especially those in the functional constituencies, have the political will to go all-in is the real difficult question that confronts us in the upcoming LegCo election.

All in all, if “35+” cannot be realised, it is unsurprising to see LegCo being more heavily suppressed in the next 4 years; even if "35+" is achieved, it is questionable whether the pan-democrats are able to weather multiple attacks, verbal or physical, from the regime (judging from its power in the last four years) and utilise the international Laam-chaau strategy against the displacement of LegCo. Adhering to the motto of “we fight on, each in his own way”, I can only hope that Hongkongers in elections, street confrontations and international front can reconcile with each other, so that we may collectively compel the government to yield to our demands in the next six months. It is only by reaching a resolution before a real constitutional crisis that we can combat the institutional violence of the regime and not be devoured by it.
