一九八九年六四事件發生時，筆者剛剛讀完高中，一家人一直注視著一段又一段的電視新聞報導，那些血腥畫面，至今仍歷歷在目。
When the Tiananmen Square Massacre took place in June 1989, I had just finished high school. At that time, my family and I kept gazing at the TV news one piece after another, and to this very day, those bloody pictures still remain vivid in my mind.
一個屠殺自己人民手不軟眼不轉的政權，該得到尊重嗎?廿五年多以來，香港的支聯會就一直消耗六四這題材，每年舉辦六四悼念晚會，近年又開設六四紀念館，大家還會認為支聯會做的事是，為了香港人嗎？
Should a regime that indifferently massacres its own people be respected? For more than 25 years, the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China (the Alliance) has been feeding upon the topic of Tiananmen Square Massacre. Every year on June Fourth, the Alliance holds a candlelight vigilance. And they have even built a June 4th Museum. Do you still think that the Alliance does this for the sake of Hongkongers?
筆者出席過多年的六四維園燭光晚會，每年通常都會有些口號例如「平反六四」、「結束一黨專政」、「建設民主中國」，由大會帶領群眾在數以萬計燭光中叫喊，響徹維園。但就在二零一一年的那一次燭光晚會中，令更多人看穿了支聯會的詭詐而決定不再成為支聯會的籌碼。
I have taken part in many years’ June Fourth candlelight vigilances in the Victoria Park. Every year, the organizer would lead the participants to shout, amidst tens of thousands of lighted candles, slogans like “Redress June Fourth Incident”, “End One-Party Rule”, “Build a Democratic China”, so loudly that the sounds practically reach every corner of the park. However, in the candlelight assembly of 2011, many people saw through the trick of the Alliance and decided not to be a chip of the Alliance any more.
二零一零年五月廿四日，當屆民主黨主席何俊仁、副主席劉慧卿及立法會議員張文光進入中聯辦密室談判，令一直信賴他們的市民都懷疑他們出賣了香港民主前途，出賣了香港人﹗直到同年七一遊行，當時仍在世但病重的司徒華以「賣豬賣狗」論，來回應投訴民主黨出賣香港人的市民，成為一時「佳」話。
On 24th May 2010, Albert Ho Chun-yan, President of Democratic Party, Emily Lau, Vice-President, and Cheung Man-kong, legislator, joined a closed-door conference with The Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (The Liaison Office), as a result of which most of the citizens who had all along trusted them suspected that they had betrayed the future of Hong Kong and the people of Hong Kong. In the mass rally on July 1st of the same year, the then gravely ill Szeto Wah, founder of the Alliance, notoriously called citizens who queried the Democratic Party’s loyalty to Hong Kong “pigs and dogs”.
司徒華於二零一一年一月逝世，同年支聯會所攪的六四維園燭光晚會，大會主題變成「平反六四、革命尚未成功、建設民主、同志仍須努力」，而民眾也紛紛討論為何不見場內掛有過往沿用多年的「結束一黨專政」標語，令人質疑自民主黨進入中聯辦秘密會談後，支聯會也隨之而向中共下跪。而且，當晚晚會又同時變成拜祭司徒華活動，令當時場內不少人感到不安。當晚蔡耀昌的哭腔也成為大眾熱話。大家都在質疑整個活動的變質及大會人士的矯揉造作。
Szeto passed away in January 2011. In the June Fourth Candlelight vigilance organized by the Alliance in that year, the main theme of the assembly became “Redress June Fourth Incident, Revolution has not yet Succeeded; Construct Democracy, Comrades still Got to Work Hard”. And many people wondered why the poster, “End One-Party Rule”, which had been used for decades, was absent, and suspected that following the Democratic Party’s secret meeting with The Liaison Office, the Alliance also knelt down before Communist China. The assembly that night was also an activity of paying homage to Szeto Wah, making many participants uneasy. The weeping tone of Richard Tsoi Yiu-cheong, Vice-President of the Alliance, on that night, became a hot topic, too. Almost everybody was dissatisfied with the moral degeneration of the activity as a whole and the affected manners of the organizer.
要數八九年六月二日李卓人帶著據報由香港市民籌集的捐款二百萬元到北京，但他聲稱被扣留，結果過了幾天他寫悔過書才給放人，錢，卻被當局扣押。這一筆錢的去向到底是怎樣，廿多年來並沒有人能證實事件真偽。而支聯會多年來利用六四來集結市民，借市民的良知及同情心來幫他們做勢、集資，但所做的卻通通都不是為香港的。
On 2nd June 1989, Lee Cheuk-yan, former chairman of the Alliance, travelled to Beijing with two million Hong Kong dollars, reportedly donations made by Hong Kong citizens. Then he was allegedly detained there for a few days, and it was only after he had signed a confession that he was released, while the money was seized by the communist authorities. For more than twenty years, no one has been able to confirm the whereabouts of the sum. Nonetheless, for more than twenty years, the Alliance has gathered people by way of the Massacre, and used citizens’ conscience and empathy to enhance their own influence and to raise funds, while what it does is not for Hong Kong at all.
香港人遊行了十多年，一直希望盡力爭取香港民主發展，每人都擁有應有的公民權。可是我們都給泛民拖住腳步，由希冀二零零七/零八雙普選，講到二零一二雙普選。但二零一二雙普選，卻給民主黨跟中聯辦密會後放棄了，並接受了當刻的政改、「發明」了立法會超級區議會功能組別這怪胎，荒謬絕倫﹗之後又再拖到現在熱烘烘的、有關二零一七普選行政長官的政改方案。不但每次都淪於口號式叫喊，更甚是泛民行徑亦見與民主路越走越遠。
For seventeen years, Hongkongers have been matching with a view to struggling for Hong Kong democracy and for civic rights to which everybody should be entitled. However, our pace has been slowed down by pan-democrats. We had aspired after 2007/2008 double universal suffrage, and then 2012 double universal suffrage. But 2012 double universal suffrage was given up after the Democratic Party’s secret talk with The Liaison Office, and the former accepted the constitutional reform proposal of the Hong Kong Government, with the invention of the freak, "Super District Councillors"! And now we have the constitutional reform proposal of the 2017 Chief Executive Election. Every time the struggle is reduced to slogan shouting. What is even more outrageous is that the behaviour of the pan-democrats is seen to deviate from the path of democracy further and further.
支聯會根底是民主派，其祖師又是一個真正愛中共的司徒華。六四燭光晚會早已被市民認定只是用以籌集捐款及爭頭條的活動，但完全不見得，叫了廿幾年「平反六四」對香港民主有甚麼幫助。
The Alliance is after all a pan-democracy organization and its founder, Szeto Wah, loved Communist China dearly. The June Fourth candlelight vigilance has long been deemed by many Hong Kong citizens to be an activity for raising funds and stealing the show. One simply cannot see how the slogan, “Redress June Fourth Incident”, which has been shouted for more than twenty years, can contribute to Hong Kong democracy.
如果要建設民主中國，請你，支聯會，回去你的中國慢慢建設。香港是實行一國兩制的地方，中國是否有民主，與香港體制無關。在這個高壓港共政權下，香港人飽受逼迫，中國人民又不停來干擾香港人的生活、爭奪香港人的權利。連自己地方的問題都應接不暇時，在中國發生的八九六四事件，又與我們香港人何干？
The Alliance, if you want to build a democratic China, please go back to your China and take your time to build it. Hong Kong practices “one country, two systems”; whether China has democracy or not has nothing to do with the political system of Hong Kong. Under the high-handed Hong Kong communist regime, Hong Kong people suffer intensely. And China people keep coming to disturb Hong Kong people’s life and to snatch away Hong Kong people’s rights and benefits. While we are so busily dealing with our local problems, what on earth does what occurred in China back on June 4th, 1989 have to do with us?!
請停止利用香港人的善良來出賣香港吧﹗
Stop using Hongkongers’ kindness to betray Hong Kong, please!
