《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.

【Joshua Wong speaking to the Italian Senate】#意大利國會研討會演說 —— 呼籲世界在大學保衛戰一週年後與香港人站在同一陣線

中文、意大利文演說全文：https://www.patreon.com/posts/44167118

感謝開創未來基金會（Fondazione Farefuturo）邀請，讓我透過視像方式在意大利國會裡舉辦的研討會發言，呼籲世界繼續關注香港，與香港人站在同一陣線。

意大利作為絕無僅有參與一帶一路發展的國家，理應對中共打壓有更全面的理解，如今正值大學保衛戰一週年，以致大搜捕的時刻，當打壓更為嚴峻，香港更需要世界與我們同行。

為了讓各地朋友也能更了解香港狀況，我已在Patreon發佈當天演說的中文、英文和意大利文發言稿，盼望在如此困難的時勢裡，繼續讓世界知道我們未曾心息的反抗意志。

【The Value of Freedom: Burning Questions for Hong Kongers】

Good morning. I have the privilege today to share some of my thoughts and reflections about freedom, after taking part in social activism for eight years in Hong Kong. A movement calling for the withdrawal of the extradition law starting from last year had escalated into a demand for democracy and freedom. This city used to be prestigious for being the world’s most liberal economy, but now the infamous authoritarian government took away our freedom to election, freedom of assembly, freedom of expression and ideas.

Sometimes, we cannot avoid questioning the cause we are fighting for, the value of freedom. Despite a rather bleak prospect, why do we have to continue in this struggle? Why do we have to cherish freedom? What can we do to safeguard freedom at home and stay alert to attacks on freedom? In answering these questions, I hope to walk through three episodes in the previous year.

Turning to 2020, protests are not seen as frequently as they used to be on the media lens, partly because of the pandemic, but more importantly for the authoritarian rule. While the world is busy fighting the pandemic, our government took advantage of the virus to exert a tighter grip over our freedom. Putting the emergency laws in place, public assemblies in Hong Kong were banned. Most recently, a rally to support press freedom organized by journalists was also forbidden. While many people may ask if it is the end of street activism, ahead of us in the fight for freedom is another battleground: the court and the prison.

Freedom Fighters in Courtrooms and in Jail

Part of the huge cost incurred in the fight for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong is the increasing judicial casualties. As of today, more than 10 thousand people have been arrested since the movement broke out, more than a hundred of them are already locked up in prison. Among the 2,300 protestors who are prosecuted, 700 of them may be sentenced up to ten years for rioting charges.

Putting these figures into context, I wish to tell you what life is like, as a youngster in today’s Hong Kong. I was humbled by a lot of younger protestors and students whose exceptional maturity are demonstrated in courtrooms and in prison. What is thought to be normal university life is completely out of the question because very likely the neighbour next door or the roommate who cooked you lunch today will be thrown to jail on the next.

I do prison visits a few times a month to talk to activists who are facing criminal charges or serving sentences for their involvement in the movement. It is not just a routine of my political work, but it becomes my life as an activist. Since the movement, prison visits has also become the daily lives of many families.

But it is always an unpleasant experience passing through the iron gates one after one to enter the visitors’ room, speaking to someone who is deprived of liberty, for a selflessly noble cause. As an activist serving three brief jail terms, I understand that the banality of the four walls is not the most difficult to endure in jail. What is more unbearable is the control of thought and ideas in every single part of our daily routine enforced by the prison system. It will diminish your ability to think critically and the worst of it will persuade you to give up on what you are fighting for, if you have not prepared it well. Three years ago when I wrote on the first page of prison letters, which later turned into a publication called the ‘Unfree Speech’, I was alarmed at the environment of the prison cell. Those letters were written in a state in which freedom was deprived of and in which censorship was obvious. It brings us to question ourselves: other than physical constraints like prison bars, what makes us continue in the fight for freedom and democracy?

Mutual Support to activists behind-the-scene

The support for this movement is undiminished over these 17 months. There are many beautiful parts in the movement that continue to revitalise the ways we contribute to this city, instead of making money on our own in the so-called global financial centre. In particular, it is the fraternity, the mutual assistance among protestors that I cherished the most.

As more protestors are arrested, people offer help and assistance wholeheartedly -- we sit in court hearings even if we don’t know each other, and do frequent prison visits and write letters to protesters in detention. In major festivals and holidays, people gathered outside the prison to chant slogans so that they won’t feel alone and disconnected. This is the most touching part to me for I also experienced life in jail.

The cohesion, the connection and bonding among protestors are the cornerstone to the movement. At the same time, these virtues gave so much empowerment to the mass public who might not be able to fight bravely in the escalating protests. These scenes are not able to be captured by cameras, but I’m sure it is some of the most important parts of Hong Kong’s movement that I hope the world will remember.

I believe this mutual support transcends nationality or territory because the value of freedom does not alter in different places. More recently, Twelve Hongkong activists, all involved in the movement last year, were kidnapped by China’s coastal guard when fleeing to Taiwan for political refugee in late-August. All of them are now detained secretly in China, with the youngest aged only 16. We suspect they are under torture during detention and we call for help on the international level, putting up #SAVE12 campaign on twitter. In fact, how surprising it is to see people all over the world standing with the dozen detained protestors for the same cause. I’m moved by activists in Italy, who barely knew these Hong Kong activists, even took part in a hunger strike last month calling for immediate release of them. This form of interconnectivity keeps us in spirit and to continue our struggle to freedom and democracy.

Understanding Value of freedom in the university battle
A year ago on this day, Hong Kong was embroiled in burning clashes as the police besieged the Polytechnic University. It was a day we will not forget and this wound is still bleeding in the hearts of many Hong Kongers. A journalist stationed in the university at that time once told me that being at the scene could only remind him of the Tiananmen Square Massacre 31 years ago in Beijing. There was basically no exit except going for the dangerous sewage drains.

That day, thousands of people, old or young, flocked to districts close to the university before dawn, trying to rescue protestors trapped inside the campus. The reinforcements faced grave danger too, for police raided every corner of the small streets and alleys, arresting a lot of them. Among the 800+ arrested on a single day, 213 people were charged with rioting. For sure these people know there will be repercussions. It is the conscience driving them to take to the streets regardless of the danger, the conscience that we should stand up to brutality and authoritarianism, and ultimately to fight for freedoms that are guaranteed in our constitution. As my dear friend, Brian Leung once said, ‘’Hong Kong Belongs to Everyone Who Shares Its Pain’’. I believe the value of freedom is exemplified through our compassion to whom we love, so much that we are willing to sacrifice the freedom of our own.

Defending freedom behind the bars

No doubt there is a terrible price to pay in standing up to the Beijing and Hong Kong government. But after serving a few brief jail sentences and facing the continuing threat of harassment, I learnt to cherish the freedom I have for now, and I shall devote every bit what I have to strive for the freedom of those who have been ruthlessly denied.

The three episodes I shared with you today -- the courtroom, visiting prisoners and the battle of university continue to remind me of the fact that the fight for freedom has not ended yet. In the coming months, I will be facing a maximum of 5 years in jail for unauthorized assembly and up to one ridiculous year for wearing a mask in protest. But prison bars would never stop me from activism and thinking critically.

I only wish that during my absence, you can continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, by following closely to the development, no matter the ill-fated election, the large-scale arrest under National Security Law or the twelve activists in China. To defy the greatest human rights abusers is the essential way to restore democracy of our generation, and the generation following us.
