[天橋上的人]
星期五下午,港島頂級購物區繁忙非常。從金鐘廊走到太古廣場有一條行人天橋,巨型落地玻璃密封設計,讓行人可以遠眺整條金鐘道,俯瞰電車路的交通情況。在下午約4時,約一百人聚站在天橋的其中一邊,眼神同時望向遠處。路經這裡的有在附近工作的白領,和說英語的外籍人士。
在商場人潮裡,可以聽到這些對話:「何詩蓓真係好勁呀!」說的是這天早上代表香港出賽的游泳運動員,於今屆東京奧運已贏得第二面銀牌,是這天城中熱話,若包括早前勝出劍擊金牌的張家朗,香港運動員已在今屆奧運拿下了三面獎牌,是香港開埠以來最佳紀錄。
對於天橋上聚滿人,有不明所以的人走近,看到地上有人擺放了單張,「24歲的唐英傑 TONG Ying Kit is 24 years old,好人一生平安」,旁邊有唐早幾天因國安法入罪的中文資料,卻欠英語,有人用英語問:「What is this?」
這個城市,在狂喜和狂悲中搖擺。
從天橋上眺望遠處,正是連接太古廣場的最高法院。最高法院審訊案件,可判處刑期並不像區域法院有七年上限,嚴重案件都在這裡審訊。從高等法院進出的囚車,需要路經繁忙的金鐘道,但這天警方佈陣下,不但記者被隔到老遠,市民就更能只站在商場的天橋上遠眺。
從天橋位置到囚車出入位置,相隔約150米。以往「送囚車」的人們大喊或揮動手機燈,車內人看得見,這天,百多米外的眺望,只能遙記心意。
第一宗國安法審訊於周二(27日)判兩項罪名成立,三天後即今午宣佈刑期。判決有沒有罪的那天,法院來旁聽的記者人數,要比這天宣判刑期的更踴躍。那時全球記者關注「光時」口號是否入罪,這天判刑,記者人數略為減少。
然而,本地市民旁聽的意欲則沒有減退。早上八時已有中年女士來排隊拿旁聽票。最後,內庭及庭外直播票,公眾人士入場總人數約170人,出現「爆庭」現象。
其中,只有20名熱心市民能夠入到庭內。他們以中年人士為主。有人坐下來低聲互相提醒:「這個庭很細小,只能入二十人」「我們這個位置最接近唐英傑」「一會兒宣判時我們不要有太大的情緒反應以免影響家屬」「我已與唐的家人交換電話,希望將來可以探望,互相支持。」
市民拿的是紫色票,家屬拿的是白色票。然而,家屬票並不夠。
下午2時40分,市民及記者均入坐。家屬較遲到來,一名微胖紥馬尾的少女,拿着「市民票」向坐在較前的旁聽公眾低聲說:「我們是家屬,想坐在一起,可以跟你們交換座位嗎?」公眾隨即把最前的位置讓出,少女連連道謝。
長髮的唐英傑母親,穿着白色麻質套裝,腳踏平底鞋出現。她化了淡粧,做了粉色美甲,戴着紅色手鍊。她和幾名年輕女性親友一起,坐在最接近犯人欄的家屬席。
開庭前,年輕女孩不時拍拍唐母的肩,跟她談話時輕撫着唐母的背,或輕輕跟唐母牽手以示鼓勵。她們的座位距唐英傑約十呎,可以清楚跟唐交換眼神。
下午2時57分,唐英傑終於在懲教職員押送下出來。以往審訊時,唐會提早一點出來露面,可是,這天卻調校到距離開庭很短的時間才讓他出來,於是變相減少了唐可以與律師溝通的時間,或與家人對望的時刻。
法庭的時光,客觀上是一回事,主觀亦有另一種感受。
冗長的審訊,時間像特別漫長;但判決及判刑,又如電光火石。
身型壯碩的唐英傑,穿着十多日審訊的那套衣服出現。灰藍色西裝外套,黑色恤衫,髮型清爽但這天頭髮有點凌亂。甫步入犯人欄,唐先舉起左手跟律師打招呼,轉而望向母親及幾位年輕女性親友。
女性親友不時俯身,嘗試找角度能夠與唐保持眼神接觸。因為犯人欄的橫柵,與及防飛沫膠片的阻隔,令視線有所阻擋。女子們不時從座位做心心手勢,鼓勵唐。
律師趁開庭前的寶貴時間,拿了文件遞給唐,揭開防飛沫膠布跟他對話。唐亦把紙張交給律師。
唐英傑接過即時傳譯的耳機,把主機插向自己的西裝的左胸口袋,再把耳塞塞進左耳,再用手指托一托滑落的眼鏡。
不一會兒,一名駕駛着電動輪椅的中年婦人進來,被安置在家屬旁。她是一名熱心市民到來旁聽的市民,法庭未開始,她已經在拭淚。
3時04分, “Court!”的男聲喊出,三名法官步出坐在席上。法官杜麗冰用英語宣佈她不會詳細把判刑的原因詳細讀出,只挑選判刑重點來讀。
她以英語說出 “Six and a half years and eight years respectively for counts 1 and 2….”
判刑是否分期執行,還是同期?
杜官再說,如果當初唐選擇認罪,會是有減刑可能,但今次唐選擇不認罪。唐有幾次交通相關案底,於國安法判刑則不相關,會視他為「良好品格」。法庭亦表示同情唐的家庭狀況,作為唯一的經濟支柱,而其祖母亦有重病。但認為這些是「被告人應該在犯案前考慮的事」。
杜官指出,兩控罪雖然來自同一組事實(即開着插有「光時」旗的電單車衝過警方防線),但「兩罪是分開而明確的 (separate and distinct offences)」。
正當大家在疑惑究竟總刑期多長的時候,杜官又說會行使 “totality principle” (整體判刑原則)。
杜官最後交出一個數字,其中2年半刑期分期執行,總刑期9年。
杜官說,這刑期反映了「被告人的罪行嚴重性,社會人士對罪行的厭惡度,並達至阻嚇性」。
旁聽席上的人互相交換疑惑的眼神,大家對繁複的法庭英語不太聽得入耳,只關注總刑期多長。大家互相在電話上的筆記簿寫上數字,交換眼神。
唐英傑專心聽着耳機,翻譯員以廣東話給他解釋了自己未來命運。唐聽到這裡時,坐得腰板挺直,雙手放在膝上,偶爾用左手食指托一托鼻上的眼鏡,或飛快的揚一揚眉。
直至聽到總刑期後,唐才放鬆了一點點。當法官解釋要吊銷其駕駛執照達十年,唐英傑再向家屬席做心心手勢。
此時法官再談及充公證物的處理。
說時遲那時快,才20分鐘,又有人喊 “Court!”,判刑程序完畢,三名法官離席。旁聽席的人如夢初醒,等待了六、七個小時,為了見唐一面,時光就如此飛逝。「吓?咁快既?即係判幾多年?」旁聽席的人互相追問。
此時法庭有點混亂,坐在輪椅的女士大喊兩次:「抗爭無罪!」保安衝前阻止。唐英傑起身走向羈留室方向,亦即與家屬席最接近的時候。家屬都站起來靠向唐。
有人從旁聽席大喊:「重甲!撐住呀!」
「重甲」是唐英傑在反修例運動的綽號,他愛穿着保護裝備擔任義務救護員。
唐英傑在混亂中回了一句:「你哋都要撐住!」然後身影消失在法庭裡。年輕女親友互相擁抱,痛哭起來。
唐英傑的辯護律師團隊,走近家屬身邊解釋情況,再次確認判刑刑期。
判刑書長達15頁,在法庭外向記者派發,其中一段披露了唐英傑多封求情信內容。
「求情信中指,被告人是個思想單純,心地善良而且孝順父母的兒子,他供養妹妹到海外留學。」
「唐父形容,兒子容易被政治影響,亦受到『不良出版影響,令他做了錯事』。」
「唐的auntie形容,(唐英傑)『受到一些社會人士及傳媒的錯誤報導影響』。」
而判刑書亦有引述唐英傑自己向法庭親撰的求情信內容:「被告人表示感到後悔,現在明白政治看法是觀點與角度問題,最重要還是做人的品格。他亦表達到,希望社會把仇恨放下。」
(For the Defendant himself, he wrote to express his remorse, saying that he had now come to realise that political views are matters of perspectives and should not be more important than human decency. He also expressed the hope that the society might put aside hatred.)

【國立臺灣大學109學年度畢業典禮 致詞代表 資訊工程學系韓哈斯】
Student Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
International student Seth Austin Harding from Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering
.
校長、教授、以及在螢幕前的各位同學,大家好。非常感謝臺大給我這個機會。我是韓哈斯,來自美國華盛頓特區。我會以自身的真實經驗出發,來跟大家分享臺大帶給我的收穫。
我當初為什麼選擇來台灣求學呢?我小時候非常喜歡看武打片,然後我十歲的時候去看了一部電影叫做「功夫熊貓」。這部電影成為了我最喜歡的電影,主角「阿波」的故事跟我的故事很像。我看完了之後就決定要開始學功夫,所以去了「美國武術學院」。那個時候我每天都聽旁邊的人講中文,到了高中我就決定開始學中文。當時我遇到了一位貴人,她是從台北到美國來教書的中文老師,她教的課是我當時最喜歡的課,我每天去她的教室跟好朋友練習。到了高中畢業時,我是全高中中文最好的非母語人士。同時,我第二喜歡的課程是電腦科學,那時候我是程式能力數一數二的學生。後來在成功錄取夢寐以求的學校:臺灣大學之後,我感到雀躍不已,因為我既可以繼續學習中文,也可以持續在世界頂尖的學府中,往電腦科學的方向精進自我。
不過老實說,當我回顧大一的時期,我也曾迷失自我。雖然我修了很多很多的中文課,但是我那時只聽得懂大概一半的課程內容。跟大家對美國人的印象不同,我其實很害羞,也很害怕舉手提問,我甚至不太敢參與社交,所以當時朋友也很少。我開始想家,也變得有一點憂鬱。那時籃球是我唯一的紓壓方式。
但更不幸的是,我在打籃球時弄傷了我的前十字韌帶,做了兩次手術,需要一年半才能恢復。許多的負面情緒壓得我喘不過氣。我被困在人生的低谷,不知如何是好。我覺得我的中文不夠好,我也被診斷出失眠跟ADHD,另外,美國高中的數學太簡單了,來這邊不夠用。種種壓力讓我足不出戶,找不到自己的人生方向。後來,我向臺大心輔中心以及我的心理醫師尋求協助,然後我也開始跟系上有更多互動。有一位教授叫徐宏民跟我說,"Never give up",雖然那時候我覺得這句話太過於簡化了我的問題,不過,在我仔細思考了一個禮拜之後,我下定決心,發誓不讓自己被這些事擊敗。我決定要克盡全力,認真做好每件事。這是我人生的轉捩點,我開始變得異常自律。當時廖世偉教授和洪士灝系主任帶我進入它們的研究室鑽研學術。這重燃了我對資訊工程的熱忱,提醒了我當初會愛上這個領域的原因。我開始研究人工智慧以及區塊鏈,也開始跟其他系上同學交朋友,一起成立臺大人工智慧應用社NTUAI。NTUAI現在是校內頗具規模的技術研究社團,致力於推廣人工智慧給任何對該領域有熱忱的學生。歡迎加入NTUAI,可以掃描我們的QR CODE。
最近,由於疫情的緣故,我已經一年半沒回美國了。但是沒關係,因為我已經找到了我第二個家。我很愛臺大,以及台灣的人事物。雖然我經歷了人生的低潮,但這裡的一切總是給我滿滿的祝福與協助。最後,我想送給大家「功夫熊貓」裡的一句台詞: "You just need to believe"。只要用樂觀的態度去面對困難,就有能力改變自己,甚至改變身旁所愛的人。就像阿波的父親說的,"心誠則靈,只要你相信,點石就能成金。根本沒有什麼秘笈。只有你。"謝謝大家。

==============================
.
President, professors, and classmates, I'm very honored to be here. Thank you to NTU for giving me this opportunity. My name's Seth Austin Harding, and I'm from the D.C. metropolitan area. I'm going to tell a real story that's personal but that's relatable and what I see as the real me.
What motivated and guided me to take my undergraduate studies in Taiwan? When I was very young, I really loved watching kung fu movies, and when I was 10 years old, I went to the theater to watch "Kung Fu Panda". This became my favorite movie as I felt like the story of the main character Po was one to which I could very much relate. After watching this movie, I decided that I wanted to start learning kung fu, so I went to the United States Wushu Academy. At the time, I began hearing Mandarin on a daily basis, so when I was in high school, I decided to begin formally studying Chinese. It ended up being my Chinese teacher from Taipei who was my favorite teacher who taught my favorite class, so I decided I'd hang out in the Chinese classroom every day and practice lots. By the time graduation came around, I had attained the highest proficiency in Chinese among any non-native speaker in my school. My second favorite class was computer science, and I ended up attaining among the best coding skills in my school. After getting accepted to the school of my dreams -- National Taiwan University -- I felt honored, humbled, and excited; I could now spend time at among the world's finest universities studying Chinese and at the same time advancing my knowledge of computer science.
But when I look back at my freshman year, to be honest with you, I didn't know what I was doing. Despite having taken very many Chinese classes, when I went to the NTU lectures, I understood only about half of what the teachers were saying. Contrary to most people's impressions of an American, I was actually too shy to raise my hand, to ask questions, or to even meet with teachers after class, so I had very few friends at the time. I started to become homesick and depressed. At that time, I found that basketball was the only way I knew of relieving my stress. However, while playing basketball, I had torn my ACL and it would take two surgeries and a year and a half in time to fully recover. At this point, I felt caught between a rock and a hard place. In fact, this was the lowest point of my life, and I didn't know what to do. I felt like my Chinese wasn't good enough, I had been diagnosed with insomnia and ADHD, and I felt like the math taught in America was too simple to allow for me to keep up with my classmates. I was under immense pressure, and at this time, I lost any sense of purpose or direction. Later on, I went to seek help from NTU counseling, from my psychiatrist, and from my department. I reached out to Professor Winston Hsu from CSIE, and he told me this: "Never give up"; it was such an oversimplified way to approach such a complex series of problems, I had thought. However, I pondered these words intensely for one week, and by the end of that week, I had made a firm decision. This would NOT be another example of me giving up. I decided to go all out, to work diligently and passionately on all tasks at hand. This was the turning point of my life; I started to discipline myself to a very high degree. At this time, I met my then-to-become advisors Professor Shih-Wei Liao and Professor Shih-Hao Hung and entered their labs to begin research. Finally, the passion that I had for computer science that I had previously held in high school was kindled again, and I was finally reminded why I loved this field. I began my research life in blockchain and AI, and at the time I entered the lab, I also began creating NTUAI. NTUAI is now a large and highly successful NTU club that is dedicated to the research and public understanding of AI. Welcome one and all to join us; please scan our QR code here.
For a year and a half I haven't returned to America because of covid. But not to worry; I have found my second home, away from home. I love it here in NTU and I cherish all of the things I've had the privilege to experience in Taiwan. I've gone through the most difficult of struggles in my life here, but I've also had the most fortunate and blessed of experiences. To conclude, I'd like to quote a line from "Kung Fu Panda": "You just need to believe". As long as you are willing to adopt an optimistic attitude in facing challenges and hardships, you may become a positive force in changing the lives of those around you as well as your own life. It all depends on how you view it; just like what Po's father says, "there is no secret ingredient. It's just you." Thank you, everyone.

Dato' Maw is not your ordinary "Dato". He is one of the proudest Cina I know. Dato' Maw is fearless when it comes to pushing boundaries, breaking stereotypes and saying what needs to be said. His goal is to fill the void between two generations, the old and the new. Make great music that's close to us as Malaysians and prove the whole of Chinese Music Industry here in Malaysia wrong!
Super proud to see how he has found his sound and never backing down from what he truly believes in. I am inspired after listening to his come up and struggles. Hope this inspires you too.

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away一波大浪向我席捲而來
A tide that is taking me under 伴隨的潮水將我淹沒
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say 口裡吞進沙 使我無法開口
My voice drowned out in the thunder 我的聲音掩沒在雷鳴聲中
But I won't cry 但我不會哭
And I won't start to crumble也不會就此崩潰
Whenever they try 無論他們如何試著要
To shut me or cut me down 使我噤聲或擊倒我
I won't be silenced 我也不會就此沈默
You can't keep me quiet 無法阻止我發聲
Won't tremble when you try it無論你怎麼試圖阻撓 我也不會動搖顫抖
All I know is I won't go speechless我只知道我不會因此什麼話都不說
Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me 即使想讓我窒息 我也會大口呼吸
Don't you underestimate me別低估我
Cause I know that I won't go speechless 因為我知道我不會甘願保持沈默
Written in stone every rule, every word自古以來的每條規則
Centuries old and unbending 歷經千年 執拗不變
Stay in your place better seen and not heard 總要我安份守己 不要有意見
But now that story is ending 但如今 那樣的故事該結束了
Cause I, I cannot start to crumble因為我不會崩潰
So come on and try所以放馬過來吧
Try to shut me and cut me down 即使試圖讓我噤聲 打倒我
I won't be silenced我也不會就此緘默
You can't keep me quiet你無法阻止我發聲
Won't tremble when you try it 無論你如何阻撓 我也不會動搖顫抖
All I know is I won't go speechless (speechless)我只知道我不會因此沈默不語
Let the storm in 就讓暴風襲擊吧
I cannot be broken 我是不會被打倒的
No, I won't live unspoken 我不會卑微過一生
Cause I know that I won't go speechless 我知道我不會就這樣坐以待斃 緘默不語
Try to lock me in this cage 即使試圖把我鎖進牢籠裡
I won't just lay me down and die 我也不會因此放棄或倒地不起
I will take these broken wings 我會帶著殘破的雙翼
And watch me burn across the sky 炙熱燃燒 飛越蒼穹
Hear the echoes saying I ... won't be silenced 聽見那傳來的回音...我不會就此沈默
Though you wanna see me tremble when you try it 即使你不斷試著要動搖我 想看我害怕顫抖的模樣
All I know is I won't go speechless (speechless)
但我只知道我不會因此什麼都不說
Cause I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me 即使想讓我窒息 我也會大口呼吸
Don't you underestimate me 千萬別低估我
Cause I know that I won't go speechless 因為我知道我不會甘願什麼都不說
All I know is I won't go speechless我只知道我不會因此而保持沈默
Speechless閉口不語
