「年青時不願留在英美,曾經天真相信香港屬於我們,以為真的能夠一同建立這個家。」畢業後,回到中文大學執教鞭、當信報國際版主筆、成立智庫、加入李澤楷旗下的盈科拓展集團任高級副總裁、擔任中央政策組非全職顧問。不知從何時起,理想成了妄想,「一切都是一場夢,兩制是一場騙局。」
不再是「發夢」的年紀,但沈旭暉仍有想像力,期盼有天真的能夠光復香港,「假如海外有幾個小型新香港,保存元氣,一個像東印度公司、香港文化協會鞏固身份認同,只要國際形勢改變,總有一日可以光復香港。」
記者:孫樂祈
政權不見讓步迹象,上周科大生周梓樂重傷不治、大搜捕泛民議員,無力感充斥每個香港人。經歷過2014年傘運,最令沈旭暉恐懼的是散水,「再一次重演,會好傷。2014年後好多人好down,咩都唔理,繼續搵錢算數。」
更可悲的是無散水黨,全因警暴令港人髮指。他反覆強調不能鬆懈、不能絕望,「今次爭取到,都唔等於贏,一國兩制侵蝕繼續不斷發生;雨傘時爭取唔到,都唔等於失敗,唔係一無所獲。」
黃色經濟圈雛形已成
梁天琦2016年提出的「時代革命」,今天就真正發生,「今次咁多人響應,係香港人嘅創意,呢個時代喺bottom-up方向去諗。身邊好多朋友都搞緊黃絲經濟體,背後係去中心化,減低對政府、大財團的依賴,社會唔再top-down咁控制。一班目標一致的朋友,互相支持去打這場持久戰。」
今次不論政府會否讓步,黃色經濟圈的雛形已長成,經濟圈由罷食吉野家、支持大班麵包西餅開始,逐漸生出黃藍店名單、黃色招聘平台、網購平台,試圖擺脫靠攏內地的生意模式。
其實藍色經濟體早已建立並連結內地,至於遲來的黃色經濟圈,自然連往世界,「呢個外國勢力唔係政治,純粹係做生意,黃絲在能力、語言、價值觀都容易plus in去國際,文宣組甚至連藍絲都讚。加上100萬海外香港人,佢哋更加唔易受壓,有極大潛能未釋放。」
擺脫「人血饅頭」關口
內媒取笑香港人不自量力,沈旭暉以數據反駁,「200萬香港人,每人用1萬蚊去支持、消費,已經200億,係好大生態鏈,都未計滴漏效應。唔一定真金白銀,你放工寫文宣都有價值,係生態鏈一環。」事實證明,過往多次眾籌登報都能夠迅速達標,甚至有人說今次運動最不缺的就是錢。
不過要打仗,先要擺脫心理關口,五個月以來,無數香港人犧牲前途,為抗爭流出鮮血,這個環境下標榜自己是黃店圖利,是在吃「人血饅頭」、發國難財,沈旭暉提醒要擺脫這種思維,「要提供誘因,先可以令人持續參與,唔可以永遠靠捐錢,總需要自給自足。」
目前的黃絲經濟圈仍相當初步,但沈旭暉認為一旦有系統處理捐款,就能生出更多可能性,「只要做多一步,有個App可以俾人做prepayment(預付),就可以產生穩定現金流,亦可以串連到海外資金。」網購平台「光時」於訪問之時剛成立,平台設立的禮品卡功能,以實現預付的說法。
去中心化成世界潮流
在沈旭暉的沙盤推演下,發展下去甚至能取締銀行,為黃店提供借貸周轉,協助它們生存,「去中心化的世界潮流下,唔一定要大銀行。例如穆罕默德.尤努斯憑microfinance獲得諾貝爾和平獎。佢喺孟加拉借出小額貸款畀當地人做小生意,成功幫助好多人脫貧。香港本身金融體系成熟唔需要,但呢個環境下,好多人有心支援,又有批人經濟上有需要。」談到去中心化,不能避開加密貨幣,「假如發展更成熟,可以提供更保密的交易工具,同樣是去中心化一環。」
比起看不見的金融系統,香港人最關心的始終是地產,「唔少地方已經好似sim city(電腦遊戲模擬城市)咁起樓,用3D打印出嚟再砌,成本、時間都慳咗,基建唔係以前門檻咁高。」香港買地成本以億計,沈旭暉出身國際關係,想法不局限香港,他大膽建議在海外建立新香港,「舊年諾貝爾經濟學獎得主Paul Romer教授其中一個概念,就係Chartered City(特設城市)。佢講當初香港俾英國管治,使用完全不同附近環境的法律,由零開始建立城市,其實模式可以複製;今日世界上大國依然有好多荒地,可以複製同一樣嘢,咁點解唔可以海外複製香港部份功能,等我哋有一條生路?完全複製香港梗係唔容易,但其實BVI都係幾萬人,已經喺國際金融佔一席位,香港人冇理由做唔到。」
看似天馬行空的想法,早於1989年已有人提過,而且今日比當年更迫切,「當年如果蘇格蘭西岸搬遷計劃成事,中國政府可能會在自由問題讓步,亦能刺激蘇格蘭的經濟發展。其實當年也有北愛爾蘭、達爾文等地的方案,並非天馬行空,關鍵是有沒有人具體執行而已。」
他指英國脫歐、配合BNO議題,是另一個海外建港的機會,加拿大有國際非政府組織正在倡議,英國、加拿大、澳洲、紐西蘭四國國民相互自由入境、並在任何一國就業的簽證限制,最終達成類似歐盟內部人口自由流動的格局,「四個國家共同消化持有BNO的港人,比全遷往英國更可行。」
強調自己非鼓勵移民
向外國勢力租地,外交部、黨媒豈不馬上跳出來,指責外國勢力粗暴干預乜乜乜?沈旭暉說新香港其實是多贏局面,與北京保持適當距離,關係可能反而更好,「須知特設城市背後的國家,不可能完全不顧中國態度,因此北京更毋須擔心港獨;有了距離,香港人釋去切身憂慮,得到真正的一國兩制,更容易與北京保持良好關係,對各方其實都是多贏。」
他同時強調自己絕非散水黨,不是鼓勵移民,「要移民的人你不用鼓勵也會走,假如真的要走,也依靠網絡維繫香港人社區,把資金、能力去中央化,化整為零,繼續支持留在香港的真香港人,大家才能構成一個整體。別像上一代消極地到溫哥華成為唐人街廢老。」願意留下來的固然很好,像投資移民平均要購買最少500萬港元的房子,一萬人這就是500億,「這些經費,用來做一個主權基金,甚麼也能達成了,到了最後,才能有國際能量,光復香港。」
作為中間派,竟建議海外建立新香港,訪問近乎無底線,沈旭暉嘆口氣指,「不論黃、藍,正常一個人,當然明白香港發生咩事。老一輩想安享晚年、想湊孫可以理解,但我哋呢個年紀,未退休,又易流動,咁都無反應,就成個社會都無反應。」

225位入境事務隊隊員聯署聲明︰整肅警隊 刻不容緩
香港兒女台鑒︰
我等為一眾入境事務隊隊員,向以把關香港為己任。吾等定必竭盡所能,維護法治,保土安民,捍衛我城。
制服之下,當先為香港人。唯香港警察行私刑、阻救援、擋遊行;奪被捕者之權利,侵香港人之自由。警察既為執法者,毫不守法,亦無尊重,屢於各場合及媒體前挑釁市民,舉手投足,儼如土匪;喝罵及稱呼示威者、記者、議員甚至平民為「曱甴」、「暴徒」,又自創辭彙肆意辱罵女性,形同流氓。此等賤視市民之言論,出自堂堂最大規模執法者之口,綱紀廢弛,不成體統。
警察濫權,每況愈下,屢屢犯錯而無人可阻,合法武器,不法使用;又肆意竄改武力等級,視武力守則如無物,遇觀星筆即如臨大敵,水樽亦恐作襲警之用,卻對持棍持刀者視若無睹,作壁上觀。警察手執武器,或盡皆虛發,或以胡椒噴劑擊頭,匪夷所思,猶如脫韁野馬,全違武器使用指引,更惶論拳打腳踢等私刑。
我等同屬紀律部隊,深知對武力之使用限制,極有要求。但凡武力之使用,皆以點到即止為原則。對方停止反抗,我方亦停止武力。武力亦須為逐級增加,而非立即提升到致命武力。我等於學堂受訓之時,教官三令五申,必須以眼親試胡椒噴劑之威力,毋忘切膚之痛,切勿濫用武力。此為克制,此為專業。然而政府及警方動輒以前線大壓力為由,縱容警暴,拖行市民,又向離散中之人群,作行刑狩獵式槍擊,又所執何法?克制專業何在?
緊急法及禁制令頻頻出現,無戒嚴之名,行戒嚴之實,向港人之自由步步進逼。藉詞保護警察私隱為名,禁選舉查冊以及公開警員及其家屬資料,儼如特權階級。敝部門亦疑因此仿傚,收緊多年來生死婚姻證明之查冊要求,非當事人授權不得申請,對調查社會大事,實為一大阻礙。
「蒙面法」生效後,市民口罩戴不得,警察卻可幪面如鼠輩,無證若歹徒。敢問有何公職人員於市民面前辦公,斗膽隱藏容貌、姓名、編號以至委任證?市民投訴無門,原告變被告者屢見不鮮。服務民眾,誠不可欺也。而休班警更獲派伸縮警棍、胡椒噴劑等武器,無紀律部隊之責,行秘密警察之實。及後擅闖民居,濫捕破壞,欺凌弱小,迫市民俯首下跪,行如納粹,形似皇軍,恬不知恥。所到之處,皆一片狼藉,老弱婦孺,無一幸免。市民看在眼內,斥罵之聲,不絕於耳。
警方高層圖以記者會公器私用,信口雌黃,愚弄市民,混淆視聽,更妄稱記者會乃其主場,視記者為敵,卻不知早已淪為笑柄;及又倒果為因,包庇下屬,指鹿為馬,早已失信於民。警方低層更妄自尊大,不學無術,多次恃協會名義,斥責四方,越俎代庖。甚至香港政府第二把交椅之政務司,亦同遭指責,令人咋舌。及後更越洋過海,要求英國國會議員道歉,見識之淺陋,貽笑大方。
現代社會中,但凡公僕,皆因人民分身不暇,能力有別,乃納稅授權其服務民眾。警察之所以權大,只因所管之範圍廣泛,如此而已。惟警察不知事理,倒果為因,多次蔑視同仁,唯我獨尊,於消防及醫護等救援時肆意阻攔,稍不合意,即恐嚇襲擊,儼如恐怖份子。同為公僕,當以民為先。鏡頭之下,屢屢非以救急扶危為要任,卻以凌辱市民為樂,賤人命如草芥,視平民為讎寇。鏡頭之後,又容不下半點批評之辭,擅自撤離醫院警崗,器量之狹窄,智力之低下,更遜黃口小兒。而男警恣意觸摸女性,擅闖產房,視男女之防如無物。我等大好兒女,竟與這種人齊名!
示威者犯法,自有法律制裁,惟警察徇私枉法,違規違紀,踐踏基本法;又毆打人民,與民為敵,有恃無恐,既無中立可言,亦無法治之說。吾等皆悲憤莫名,卻無從追究。政府與警隊理當先正己而後正人,重回現代文明社會之道,勿再令其他公僕蒙羞。
整肅警隊,刻不容緩。
人民公僕,尤以執法人員者,應持正守中。眼下香港禮崩樂壞,政府須對症下藥,從善如流,方為出路;若執意妄為,指鹿為馬,倒行逆施,猶抱薪救火,薪不盡,火不滅,則離香港之沉淪不遠矣。
香港正值風雨飄搖之時,吾等既為人民公僕,自當身土不二,以身作則,維護法紀,與民同行。政府施政無道,警察執法不公,罄竹難書。若再增添警力,以暴制民,棄政治問題而不顧,妄圖號召全體公僕與民為敵,助紂為虐,押上公務員百年聲譽,對此我們絕不噤聲,亦絕不同流合污。

香港文化前景研究
第一階段計劃籌款︰香港普選制度研究與社會文化影響
普選需要推動,更需要研究。北京和香港特區政府為了安定社會,恢復信心,普選是唯一的方法;美國為了保證香港法治及國際社會在香港的安全,也制訂《香港人權及民主法案2019》促成香港普選。香港普選很快到來,之前很多政黨政客爭取普選,但民主普選涉及的制度建設和社會基礎,大家並無妥善研究。香港的社會創新和文化創意,以及一連串的社會信心增強、消費行為轉變而帶來的繁榮和文化輸出,也會因普選而帶動,我們見到台灣和南韓的強勁例子就知道。
香港普選的話,立法會起碼要做以下準備:
一、修訂議會規則及法例:取消功能組別,要有一系列的法例變動的準備。
二、制訂政黨法:促進新生政黨可以註冊公司或社團,可以在銀行開戶,而不會遭受被公司註冊處及銀行取締(香港眾志也遇到阻礙)。
三、研究選區重整:五大選區是否要改變,或者只是劃分香港九龍新界三大選區而在當選之後才分配地區服務辦公室,甚至統一香港為單一選區?
四、社會基礎建設:開放電視台、電台牌照及報攤牌照,令小黨及多元政治取向可以得到宣傳,令香港社會更開放。
五、傳統及主流文化維護:在政黨競爭的時候,有什麼制度可以保障中西傳統文化在香港得到傳承?
此外,美國介入香港政治,也要研究美國和香港的長期文化聯繫。《香港城邦論》出版近十年,也要促成英譯本面世(其中包括香港本土運動里程碑的記錄)。這是第二個和第三個要開展的研究項目。
圖中所見,是第一階段的政策和文化研究的項目,需要各位捐款推動。籌款足夠之後,會依照學術規格,成立研究督導委員會,招聘研究員(培養青年研究人才)及支付行政及辦公室費用。
研究報告會在中期的時候匯報,完成之後會上載網頁,期間會外出訪問及出國研究及探訪,例如研究美國文化影響的時候會走訪美國。

[Research for Hong Kong’s Cultural Prospect] - Fundraiser for the First Stage
Universal suffrage not only requires advocacy, but also research. To stabilize Hong Kong society and restore its confidence, Beijing and the HKSAR Government are set to pursue universal suffrage, as the US passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act to secure rule of law and the safety of the international society in Hong Kong. The universal suffrage that many politicians had fought for in the past will soon arrive, but its crucial systematic construction and social foundation had never been properly studied. Universal suffrage will drive Hong Kong’s social and cultural innovations, as prosperity and cultural exportation come with greater confidence in society and changing consumption habits, just as Taiwan and South Korea once flourished.
Below are the basic preparations for the LegCo, once universal suffrage comes into effect in Hong Kong:
1. Amend rules of procedure and laws accordingly: eliminate functional constituencies and prepare for a series of alterations in laws.
2. Enact Political Parties Act: encourage newly founded parties to register as companies or societies, while allowing them to open up bank accounts without being suppressed by banks and the Companies Registry.
3. Consider re-assignment of election districts: are the five districts adequate? Should there be only three larger districts, namely Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and New Territories, where district offices will be distributed after all legislators are elected? Should Hong Kong be just a single district?
4. Social infrastructures: make licenses of TV channels, radio stations, and newsstands publically accessible, creating an open society that allow minor political parties and political stands to promote themselves.
5. Conservation of traditional and mainstream culture: what kind of institution can safeguard the heritage of both Chinese and Western traditions in Hong Kong, amidst the competition of political parties?
Furthermore, as the US intervenes in Hong Kong’s politics, the long-term cultural relation of the two should be studied. After a decade of its publication, 香港城邦論 should finally be translated into English, which shall include the evolution of Localism in Hong Kong. These will respectively be the second and third research projects.
The picture below shows the first stage of the research which consists of the study of policy and culture. Your donations are critical for the project’s inauguration. Once there are sufficient donations, a supervision committee for the research that complies to strict academic standards will be established. Part of the donations will be contributed towards the recruitment of researchers (which would cultivate young talents), administrative expenses, and office rental.
A midterm report for the research will be available on a designated website. During the course of studying about the influence of American culture, there will be expeditions to the US, as for studying other countries.

Speech of Prof. Rocky Tuan, CUHK Vice-Chancellor and President, in 87th Congregation (Conferment of Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees) (Transcript)
A very good morning to all of you. It's a wonderful day. You can see the sky is blue, the sun is out. I welcome all of you to this wonderful occasion. Before I begin, I'd just like to say a few words. Regrettably, some actions last night and this morning, which were somewhat careless, disrespectful and sometimes hateful, has caused some defacement of university properties and has also compromised the very nature of this ceremony. This is a happy occasion, this is a celebratory occasion. It's particularly for our graduates, their family, and their friends and guests. On behalf of CUHK, I would like to express my deep regret for some of the compromises that we've seen.
Now, in view of some of these things, I will actually forego my prepared speech. It's a long speech - I think you are used to long speeches from me. I will instead post my speech on the website, in Chinese as well as in English. You can take a look at what I have prepared. Instead, I just want to really talk to all of you, directly from my heart. Of course, my audience today is the graduates. I am very proud of all of you. You have worked very very hard for today. Today is a wonderful occasion for you to remember for the rest of your life, that's number one. Number two, it is an occasion that your friends, your family, your teachers - all of us - will remember. It's something that one day when you go through your photo album, you will point to this and tell your children, "See, that's dad, that's mum, we had a wonderful time." I want you to remember that.
My message today will be very succinct and to-the-point. I have three things that I want all of the CUHK graduates to remember today.
1. Community
Human beings, by definition, are community animals. No one lives alone, no one ever lives alone. It's a very terrible life to live alone. We are all part of the community. Today is a transition. Graduation is a transition. You will be changing forever the way you live because you will be moving from one mode of living to another. The mode in the university is, for the large part, a receiving mode. You go to class, you get a grade, you have to hand in your homework, you have to go to the cafeteria at a certain time because otherwise they close. So it is always receiving, a lot of it. But after you graduate, it is a time to share, it is a time to serve. You will be serving your community, whichever community you happen to be in. So what is a community? A community is by definition not a group of clones. A group of clones is not a community. A community is made up of different people. They have different values, they have different lifestyles, they wear different clothes, they have different favourite colours, they like different kinds of music, they wake up at different times of the day. A community is, by definition, a group of different people who live together, who work together, who hang out together, who go to the same things together. You will be a member of that community.
How does a community thrive? How does a community grow? It is built on mutual respect, mutual understanding, that you all start with serving the community as your premise. I think at the end of the day, when we finish our life on Earth... I often compare the Earth to a spaceship, which is flying through time and space. We are all passengers. We have a ticket - we get on and at some point we have to get off. When you get off, what is the meaning of your existence? The meaning is what you have done in terms of serving the community. I urge all of you to remember that. This is an important moment in time. You will be transitioning from the university to the community.
2. Life
The second thing I want you to remember is that life is a continuous one. Every day is not a single day. Today is the tomorrow of yesterday, and it's also the yesterday of tomorrow. It goes on. Life goes on. So never only pay attention to today. Do not be deterred by any failures you have today, and also, importantly, never be content with whatever success you have today because life goes on.
Some of you may know that I am actually sort of a tissue-engineered stem cell guy. What we do in my lab is that we do 3D bioprinting. We take little things, we build them one stack at a time, and we end up with a 3-dimensional object. I often tell the people at my lab, the people I work with, "3D is not enough, it is 4D - life is 4D - because this thing that we've just made which is 3-dimensional actually have another dimension. That dimension is time." Time is about one day following another. So always remember, do not be deterred by whatever you failed today, and never be content with whatever success you may have today.
3. Happiness
The last thing I want to say is about happiness. I am no smart philosopher, so I am going to quote somebody else that I believe is probably one of the most amazing humanitarian that has ever lived, Albert Schweitzer. He was a physician, philosopher and humanitarian. He devoted his whole life to making life better for others. I'll just quote what he said. Some people may say success is the key to happiness. He would say, "Happiness is the key to success." If you are happy doing what you are doing, you will succeed. Always remember that. You start out with happiness, then you will succeed. It doesn't go the other way. Most of the things Albert Schweitzer said is very true. I think this is one of them.
I will stop here and I have to say farewell to all of you. But I have to emphasis the farewell is just for now because I am sure all of you will come back as CUHK alumni and I will see you on campus. Thank you.
