柏柏爾人與撒哈拉 Berbers and the Sahara
(This post is bilingual. Please scroll to the bottom for English version.)
(昨天在沙漠裡過夜無法發文,今天加倍奉還文章較長敬請見諒。 Wasn't able to post in the desert last night. This one is therefore longer -- please bear with the lengthiness :D)
1. 柏柏爾人
撒哈拉行程第二天一早,帶我們參觀柏柏爾村莊的當地響導請我們一行人站在田埂上,和我們分享著他們族群的生活。
「我們每個人看起來都一樣,只有帽子的顏色不一樣。阿拉伯人、柏柏爾人、猶太人……住在一起都沒有問題。因為我們所有人都有同樣的爸爸和媽媽。」
說到這裡他停頓了幾秒看我們的反應。歐洲人的眼神看起來是領會到什麼了,其他人則有點茫然。
「亞當和夏娃。」他補上了這句。令我印象深刻的是他並沒有用英文裡Adam和Eve的發音,反而相當接近中文翻譯的「亞當」和「夏娃」兩個字。
嚮導帶著我們穿過田埂和水圳,告訴我們不同作物的季節和用途、哪個是橄欖樹哪個是杏仁樹、當地人如何只交換不交易等等。接著來到一個土造的傳統建築裡,在裡面向我們介紹他們手工地毯的文化,向我們解釋流程及困難之處,也告訴我們這些地毯都是沒有設計圖的,樣式全靠家族中的婦女傳承各家的專屬樣式。不出所料,下一步就是鼓勵我們買東西,還說他們現在提供DHL送貨到府。雖然是推銷,看在他那麼誠懇的份上我們也沒什麼抱怨(雖然也沒有人買啦)。
最後我們走過河上的木板橋,河邊正好有幾個婦女在洗衣,嚮導就順道提起:「柏柏爾人的女性力氣都很大,因此有時候男人蠻辛苦的……。」我馬上察覺到他在開玩笑,於是便反問他:「所以請問您有這樣的困擾嗎?XD」
他笑了笑之後說:「我太太嘛,生氣的時候真的很……(做出頭腦爆炸的手勢);不過還好,他通常燒的都是綠色的火,不是紅色的火,兩天之後整個人又開開心心的了。」說完他馬上問我:「所以你的太太如何?」接下來過了一秒鐘,我還來不及接話,他隨即補上:「你沒有太太。來,下一位!」(我心想,哇,你這嚮導婊人的功力果然還是魔高一丈呀!XD)
2. 撒哈拉
前段故事埋了個跟撒哈拉有關的哏,不知道各位有發現嗎?
沒錯,就是村裡的作物「橄欖樹」,同時也是三毛作詞、李泰祥作曲、齊豫原唱的歌曲名,連同三毛女士的作品,是使許多華人嚮往撒哈拉的啟蒙作品,按我同團的兩個中國女生也提到這件事(他們受友人之託要把撒哈拉的沙帶回去)。「不要問我從哪裡來,我的故鄉在遠方」的歌詞,配上李大師刻意營造不規則感的旋律,也曾經讓我對於這首歌的意境嚮往;當天下午四點,我們終於一睹撒哈拉的廬山真面目。車子在基地營把我們放下,接下來得騎一個半小時的駱駝到達沙漠中的營地,在那邊吃飯過夜之後隔天返回。
那晚,我們這些觀光客們圍在營火旁邊,當地嚮導們拿出了各種大大小小的鼓,叫我們自己先玩玩。我對於一開始大家不夠high這件事看不過去,於是就自己開始憑感覺亂敲亂唱,用固定但帶一點變化的鼓點配上五聲音階的即興旋律,後來當地嚮導竟然請我和他們一起演奏、吟唱他們的傳統音樂(我只好繼續用萬用和弦與結奏矇混過去,哈哈)。最後所有人都手舞足蹈完,大家也終於放開了,在星空下圍著逐漸黯淡的營火聊著彼此的故事。
隔天早上天還未亮就得拔營起行,原本應該是「夜色茫茫、星月無光」的(欸這是不是有幫某人助選嫌疑啊?XD),結果碰上大滿月,沙丘的輪廓一清二楚,連我們騎在駱駝上的影子都清晰可見,沉睡在黝黑中的沙漠其實很美,只不過氣溫是要命的冷,冷到讓人對撒哈拉完全失去興趣,只想回基地營吃熱騰騰的早餐;一直到接近基地營時,嚮導帶我們來到一座沙丘頂端看日出。這時天色已經不是魚肚白,沙丘也從全黑慢慢被調成土灰色;突然,太陽從地平線上出來了!
只見眼前無數的沙丘從頂部開始被一一打亮,接著整片沙漠像是前晚點燃木炭一般,從灰暗中緩緩轉成溫潤的黃褐色,不見烈焰飛騰,卻像是被陽光烘烤到燒了起來一樣。事後回想此情此景,我突然理解某首台灣國語流行歌詞表達的意境了:
「我的熱情(啊!),好像一盆火,燃燒了著整個沙漠。」
(結果這篇文章莫名其妙的用了一大堆國語歌曲哏,不知道自己在寫什麼,大概是腦袋被撒哈拉的太陽給燒壞了,哈哈。)
1. The Berbers
"We are all the same. Only our hats are different. Berbers, Arabs, Jews... we have no problem living together, because we all have the same father and mother..."
It was the second day of the Sahara tour, and this was said by our Berber guide. The Europeans in our group seemed to get something, while the other remained intact. Then the guide continued: "Adam and Eve." (Interestingly, his pronunciation of the names were very different from English, which I guess were probably Arabic or Hebrew.)
The guide led us through the fields into his village, showed us olive trees and almond trees, and told us how they exchange instead of purchase them. Afterwards we were led into a mud-made residence, where he introduced how traditional carpets are made, and how women passed down family-specific patterns down without any draft. At the end, unsurprisingly, he encouraged us to buy. While one of us bought anything, everyone seemed to be comfortable with that, as he had been passionately showing us his culture.
Finally, we crossed a river while some women were washing clothes. He said, "the Berber women have a lot of strength, and sometimes it can be hard..." Understanding his humor, I jokingly asked, "so, do you have this problem?" He laughed, "Well, when my wife is angry she is... (showing head explosion with gestures); but she usually has green fire, not red fire. After two days she is happy again..." Then he turned to me, "how is your wife?" Not waiting for me to respond, he contiuned, "you don't have a wife. (Indifferent and turning to the next guy,) so how is your wife? ..."
(I have to say he is indeed a very professional tour guide, who even knows how to play back on visitors' jokes.)
2. The Sahara
Many Mandarin speakers became interested in the Sahara because of the literature and a pop song "Olive Tree" of San-Mao, a Taiwanese writer who moved to the the Sahara with her husband in 1970s. The irregular, mysterious melody of the song also helped build my impression about the Sahara. Decades later, I finally arrived at the desert's margin around 4pm. Our trip began at the base camp, and we spent the night in the dessert after 1.5 hours of camel ride.
That night, we gathered around a campfire, and the local guides gave us some traditional drums to play. As an icebreaker, I started making regular beats with some random 5-node scale singing. The local guides were excited and invited me to join their playing and singing. Finally, after some singing and dancing, the group got relaxed, and people exchanged their stories around the dimming campfire.
The next morning, we headed back in the darkness -- well, not completely. It was close to the full moon, and the ride therefore came with very pleasant and tranquil desert view. However, feeling frozen in the temperature, all we wanted was to escape from the desert. Finally, we were led to the top of a sand dune to watch the sunrise. At then, the desert already turned from black to brown-gray. All of a sudden, the sun came up from the horizon. Gradually, the entire desert was "toasted" like charcoal, injected with very warm and amicable soil yellow color. The desert was ignited!
I can't think of any better way to end our time in the Sahara.

我是國榮。來自澳洲昆士蘭省,讀中學時成績非常好,分數已足夠在大學選讀任何一科。當時我希望成為一名醫生,因為可以幫助他人。我在新南威爾斯大學讀醫科,第一年是住在雪梨北區一個朋友家中,第二年入住大學國際宿舍,宿舍規定最少有半數是留學生,不是澳洲人。最先兩年結識了不少香港、新加玻、馬來西亞的朋友,與他們很合得來,不過最重要是入住宿舍後,便遇到了香港的流行歌曲。有一天我行經走廊時,聽到一些很悅耳的音樂,我便問同學這是甚麽歌曲及可否借給我欣賞,他便借了給我。我已忘記是Leslie還是Alan的歌,但肯定是其中一位。因為很喜歡這些歌曲,便到唐人街購買,後來一邊聽歌一邊看歌詞,因此慢慢地學識了很多中文字。
因為喜歡唱歌,所以在大學的同學活動,開始演唱中文歌,也曾參加香港學生會舉辦的歌唱比賽,參賽歌曲是「愛的根源」,結果獲得亞軍。我很清楚記得,國際宿舍為了文化交流,每年舉辦一次國際晚宴,希望不同種族的學生可以表演和分享文化。Leslie在一九八五年 唱Monica獲得獎項,那是一首我很喜歡的歌曲,所以在文化交流晚會我便選擇唱Monica。當時同學覺得很驚奇,我怎可能唱Monica。我是跟着錄影帶,學習他的舞步和唱歌技巧。我不停地在公眾地方練習,其他同學看到我很用心練習,也過來幫助我。在台上表演時有幾位同學為我伴舞,當晚演出非常成功。
一九八五年Leslie和幾位香港天皇巨星,來澳洲開演唱會。演唱會的主辦公司,需要義務司機,朋友問我能否當義務司機。我答應了,後來知道是當Leslie的司機。有一天他放假不用排練,我們便駕車往坎培拉,當日天氣多雲有微雨,甚麽也看不清楚,喝過咖啡後便離開,回程是Leslie駕駛,他的英語非常好,途中我們愉快地暢談,這次旅程對我來說是很重要的事情。
一九八六年Alan到來澳洲,我又當了他的司機。在他入住的酒店,介紹人在偶像面前,誤把我的名字說成河詠麟,當時在偶像面前我也不懂怎樣矯正。大約有兩年很多人以為我是河詠麟。他的四位女和音,知道我懂得唱他的歌,所以告訴了他,在排練那天他叫我上台一起唱。認識Leslie 和Alan兩位巨星,對我的影響很大,聽到他們的歌,和看到觀眾的反應,我開始對香港的歌唱發展很重視。
因為常常想着唐人街和唱歌,沒有用功讀書,因此醫科的第三年考試不合格,需要重讀,在一九八六年重讀了三個月便決定退學。
後來做了三份洗碗碟工作,還做了個多月砌磚的工作,我把工作一年多,所得工資儲起來,買了一張單程機票和帶了一千澳元,便到來香港發展。唯一的準備是問一個朋友能否到他的家中居住。他的父親很勉強地答應,但需要收租金。我甚麽準備也沒有,只是刻意買了一張單程機票,是因為不想遇到少許困難便放棄,返回澳洲。
初到香港時甚麼都不認識,沒有計劃,也沒有朋友。我最先是住在廣播道,但我的朋友不是在那裡居住,因為他還在讀書。初來時沒有事做,所以在外面逛了幾天,有一天意外地行到紅磡體育館,中門外有四名男士在吸煙,他們竟然叫我河詠麟。原來他們是Alan的樂隊成員,在一九八六年見過面,但相隔一年,竟然還可以記起我,這就是緣分。當時Alan正在為演唱會排練,他們帶我進去體育館,這樣便再見到Alan。一九八七年的演唱會是三十一場,我看了三十場。本來打算看足三十一場,但是有少許問題出現,因為我住的地方有規定,晚上十時半後便會關門,不會再讓人進出。但演唱會是不會這麽早便完場,每晚看完演唱會,我會行去尖沙嘴,然後再步行回廣播道,然後在公園外的石椅小睡,到五時公園開門便進去睡覺,但最終因捱不住,有一晚沒有去看演唱會。有一次Alan突然問我,今晚可否上台唱歌,我說當然可以,便成為他的嘉賓。我第一次表演Alan十分開心,但第二次他在台上介紹,有一個外國人,唱他的歌十分出色,當他呼喚河詠麟出場,因為我不在場,所以沒有出現。後來他問我為何沒有出現,我便向他解釋原因,他便安排我入住酒店,直到演唱會完結。所以便有第三次呼喚我上台,這是我第二次成為嘉賓跟他一起唱「朋友」,真是十分興奮。到八月他的生日會也有邀請我做嘉賓,其實每一件發生的事情都是有關係的。
後來我在北角僑冠大厦租了一間劏房居住,有一次從北角行到中環,看到一間職業介紹公司的招聘啟示,我便前往應徵。當時職員說我可以教英文,但我不是教師,他認為沒有問題,便介紹我到一間補習社工作。在補習社工作了幾個月,有一位同事看到一張電視台的海報,需要招聘 一個西方人,但要懂得說中文。我致電應徵,他是一位獨立經紀,我說沒有經驗和廣東話也不是很好,他說沒有問題。我便去見一位電視台女監製,她給我一段英文劇本,要我讀出來。因為很緊張,五分鐘都不能出聲,我跟自己說,不嘗試會後侮一生。那一段對白是警官責備下級,責備人一定是很大聲的,所以我便很大聲說出來。當時她正在做自己的事,沒有再理會我,但我的叫聲使她大吃一驚。因為沒有其他外國人給她選擇,她無奈地聘請了我,這套劇集需要兩個西方人,另外一位是當主角,從那時開始,便在電視台工作了二十年。
二零一四年九月我在N o w T V的一個音樂節目做嘉賓,在一間音樂室裡我和三位節目主持人,唱歌和談論音樂。到最近才知道,他們三位是100毛的老闆。到聖誕100毛找我拍攝雜誌封面,我不知為何找我拍攝封面,原來三位老闆是認識我的,只是我自己不知道。
二零一五年八月他們聯絡我,他們有一首歌,問我會否願意演唱,那首歌曲我很熟悉,歌詞十分口語化,應該可以學到的。但當時是星期五,表演是在星期日,只得兩天時間作準備,所以我很用心練習。舞台是有電視屏幕可以看到歌詞,但我盡量避免看電視屏幕,只是有需要時才看一看,便可以放心地唱。能夠上台非常開心,我可以扮了演一個角色,唱一首悅耳和有趣的歌,觀眾很熱鬧和興奮,真是十分難得。我知道這是一生一次,這不是自己可以做到,是他們給我機會。那首歌很受歡迎,而且登上了流行榜。聖誕節前他們聯絡我,表示將會舉辦總選,問我會否參加,我便欣然答應了。當天每位表演者,會有兩首歌曲,在十二月廿六日接到新歌,我從沒有聽過那首歌,是一首說唱歌曲,而且歌詞很陌生,對我來說十分困難,所以我不停地練習了四百多次。當晚表演由Now T V直播,有七十萬人觀看,想不到自己能夠獲得香港區最受歡迎男歌星獎,當宣佈我的名字時,極度開心,無人能想到,唱出真香港的歌曲,是由一個西方人唱出,可以感動到別人。這是天時地利人和,超乎現實,簡直是一個奇蹟。因為那首歌不是我揀選,是別人給我的,練習這首歌時眼睛常常都會充了滿淚水和很感動。
西方人在香港發展演藝事業是十分困難的,機會不多,只能扮演一些無關重要的角色,但我從來沒有想過放棄。五年前我計劃灌錄一張唱片,因為胃酸倒流,把聲帶灼傷,使我聲音變得沙啞,這件事使我非常懊惱,因為辛苦練習多年,卻發生了這個問題,後來我矯正了唱歌方法,問題得以改善,可以繼續唱歌,現在準備為唱片再進行錄音工作。
最近有很多關於少數族裔的事情出現在我身上 ,現在我為一個港台節目做旁白,是關於少數族裔在香港。他們在本地娛樂圈發展是十分困難,因為在一個有九成是同一種族的地方,看電視或電影,也是會看自己的種族,未必會看少數族裔。如果他們幾個人合作,做一個節目,然後在網上發放,是有機會成功。香港有很多少數族裔居住,有些人的中文比我好,他們也愛香港。
我心目中的香港人,是要做香港人做的事,吃香港人吃的食物,關心香港,不看膚色,希望他們也能說廣東話,最重要是覺得香港是自己的家,這便是真正的香港人。
I am Gregory. I hail from Queensland, Australia. During my high school years, my grades were excellent. They were good enough for me to enroll in any subject that I wanted to in university. At that time, I wanted to become a doctor because I could help others. I studied Medicine at the University of New South Wales. In my first year, I lived in my friend’s home located in North Sydney. During my second year, I lived in International House at the university. It was a rule for the school campus to have at least 50 percent overseas students. They cannot be Australians. I met a lot of Hong Kong, Singaporean and Malaysian friends in my first two years. I was able to get along with them very well. But what is most important was that after living in International House, I came across Hong Kong pop music. One day I was walking along the corridors and overheard beautifully melodic music. I asked my classmate what music he was listening to and if he could lend me the music to listen to. He leant it to me.
I have forgotten whether it was the music of Leslie or Alan. But I am sure it was one of them because I really liked that kind of music. I went to Chinatown to buy it. Eventually, I listened to the music as I read the lyrics. In turn, I slowly picked up a lot of Chinese characters.
I attended many different functions to perform Cantonese songs in university because I really liked to sing. I also attended a singing competition organized by the Hong Kong student association. The competition song was ‘Root of Love’. In the end I won second runner-up. I clearly remember International House wanted to organize cultural exchanges so they held international banquets each year. Their hope was for students from different ethnic backgrounds to perform and share their culture.
In 1985, Leslie won an award for singing ‘Monica’. It was a song that I really loved. During the international cultural exchange banquet, I chose to sing ‘Monica’. At that time my classmates were very surprised. How can I sing ‘Monica’? I followed the videos to learn the dance steps and singing techniques. I kept on practicing in public. Other students witnessed how hard I was practicing and came over to help me out. A few classmates became my accompanying dancers as I danced on stage. The performance that night was extremely successful.
Leslie and a group of Hong Kong superstars visited Australia to hold concerts in 1985. The concert organizer needed a voluntary driver. My friends asked me whether I wanted to be the voluntary driver. I accepted the offer. In the end I found out that I would become Leslie’s driver. There was one day when he was on break and did not need to rehearse. We drove to Canberra. It was cloudy and there was light rain on that day. We could not see clearly. After having a coffee, we left. Leslie was next to drive. His English was very good. During the journey back we chatted happily. The trip was very important to me.
In 1986, Alan came to Australia. I was also his driver. Our mutual friend misread my name as “Ho Wing Lun” in front of my idol during his stay at the hotel. I was not able to correct him at the time because Alan (“Wing Lun”) was my idol. Many people thought I was called “Ho Wing Lun” for around two years. His four back-up singers knew I was able to sing Alan’s songs. That was why they told him about it. During rehearsal day, he told me to sing with him on stage. Knowing superstars like Leslie and Alan had a great impact on me. To be able to listen to their songs and to witness the reactions from the audience led me to become interested in a singing career in Hong Kong.
I did not put in a lot of effort in my studies because I always thought of Chinatown and singing. Consequently, I failed my medical examinations in my third year. I had to re-take my subjects. In 1986, I re-took my studies for three months but then I decided to quit school.
In the end I juggled three dish washing jobs and also many months of brick laying work. I saved up a whole year of my salary and bought a one-way ticket to Hong Kong. I also carried $1000 Australian dollars on me. I then went to Hong Kong to develop my career. I only asked my friend whether I could stay at his place as preparation to living in my new homeland. His father reluctantly agreed but had to receive rent. I did not have anything equipped or prepared. I only purposely bought a one-way ticket because I did not want to easily give up when I encountered minor difficulties and return to Australia.
When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I did not know anything. I did not have any plans. I also did not have any friends. Initially, I lived in Broadcast Drive but my friend did not live there because he was still studying. I did not have anything to do at first. That was why I hung around Hong Kong for several days. One day, by coincidence, I came across Hung Hom Coliseum. At the entrance, there were four men smoking. They noticed me and surprisingly called out “Ho Wing Lun”. They were, in fact, members of Alan’s band. We have first met in 1986. Surprisingly, they remembered me after a whole year. That is called fate. At that time, Alan was preparing for his concert. The four men brought me inside the Coliseum. I saw Alan. There were 31 shows in his 1987 concert. I watched 30 of them. I intended to watch all 31 shows but there was a slight problem. There were rules at my guest house. After ten thirty each night, the door to the home will be locked. Nobody was allowed to enter or leave the house. But concerts do not end so early. So, after watching each concert in the evening, I would walk to Tsim Sha Tsui and then walk back to Broadcast Drive. I would sleep on the concreate seats outside the park. When the park opens at five in the morning, I will go in and sleep. Eventually, I was unable to handle it. One night I cannot watch a show. Once Alan asked me “Can you sing on stage tonight?” I told him “Of course I can.” I became his special guest. Alan was extremely happy when I first performed. By the second show, he announced that: “There is a westerner who can sing my songs very well.” He called out my name “Ho Wing Lun!” But because I was not at the scene, I did not show up. Eventually, he asked me why I did not show up. I explained my reason to him. He then arranged a hotel for me to stay at until the end of the concert. That was why he was able to call me out the third time! That was my second time as special guest singing “Friends” with him. It was exhilarating. In August, he introduced me as a special guest at his birthday party. Actually, everything happens for a reason and everything is interconnected.
Soon after, I rented a tiny flat at a building in North Point to live in. I walked from North Point to Central once. I came across a recruitment agency looking to hire. I went in to give it a shot. At that time, the staff said I could teach English but I was not a teacher. The staff said it was not a problem and introduced me to work at a learning center. After working there for a few months, a colleague saw a TV station’s poster. They were looking to recruit a westerner but that person needs to be able to speak Cantonese. I called to give it a try. The person who answered was an independent agent. I told that agent I had no experience and my Cantonese was not very good. The agent told me it was not a problem. I went to see the TV station’s female producer. She gave me an English script and wanted me to read it out. I was so nervous that I did not utter a word in five minutes. I told myself, if I do not try, I will regret it for life. The dialogue depicted a police telling off a subordinate. When you tell someone off, you must be very loud so, I read my lines out very loudly. At that time, the female producer was doing her own work and did not care about me but because I was so loud, I frightened her! As there were no other westerners for her to choose from, she had no choice but to hire me. The TV show required two westerners. The other westerner played the main character. From then onwards, I worked at the TV station for twenty years.
In September 2014, I appeared as a guest on a NowTV music program. I was in a band room with the three show hosts. We sang and discussed music. Only recently, I found out that they were the Founders of 100 Most. When it was Christmas, 100 Most invited me to appear on the cover of their magazine. I did not know why they wanted me to do it – only to find out that the Founders of the magazine already knew who I was! It was just me who did not know that.
In August 2015, 100 Most contacted me and asked me whether I wanted to sing this particular song. I was very familiar with the song lyrics. The lyrics were very colloquial. I should be able to learn it. It was Friday. The performance was on Sunday. I only had two days to prepare for it. That was why I practiced very hard. The stage showcased the lyrics. But I tried my best not to look at them. I would only glance at them when I needed to. I felt more confident and assured as I sang.
I was extremely elated to be able to perform on stage. I can play a role singing a wonderful and amusing song. The audience was super warm and excited. It was a moment to be treasured. I know this can only happen once in my life. It cannot be done by myself. It is because I was given a chance by 100 Most. The song was very popular and hit the charts. Before Christmas, 100 Most contacted me and expressed that there would be a final election of the songs. They asked me whether I would like to participate. I was more than happy to give it a try. On the day of the show, each contestant would have two songs.
On the 26th of December, I received the new song. I have never heard of the song before. It was a rap song. I was very unfamiliar with the lyrics. I found them very difficult. That was why I kept practicing it for more than four hundred times. The show was broadcasted live by NowTV. Around seven hundred thousand people watched the broadcast. I cannot imagine winning the Best Hong Kong Male Singer. When my name was announced, I was extremely delighted. Nobody can imagine that a westerner was able to sing a song about ‘real Hong Kong’. It can touch people. It was something that happened at the right place and at the right time. It was also surreal and a complete miracle. It is because the song was not selected by me. It was given to me by others. My eyes were often wet from practicing this song. I was very touched.
It is very difficult for westerners to develop their artistry in the entertainment industry. Chances are slim. They can only play roles that are irrelevant and unimportant. But I never thought of giving up. Five years ago I planned to record my own album. But because of stomach acid reflux, my vocal chords got damaged. My voice became hoarse and coarse. It brought me a lot of frustrations because I have worked hard for many years. Then this happened. I then amended my singing techniques and the issue improved significantly. I was able to sing again. I am now working on re-recording my new album.
A lot of ethnic minority issues materialized around me as of late. I am currently the voice over for a RTHK program about ethnic minorities in Hong Kong. It is very hard for them to develop their career in the local entertainment industry. It is because when 90 percent of the people share the same skin color comes together in a particular place, those watching TV or film will tend to watch people of their own skin color. They may not watch ethnic minorities. If a group of ethnic minorities work together to create a program for the web, it may work out. There are a lot of ethnic minorities residing in Hong Kong. Some of their Chinese is better than mine. They also love Hong Kong very much.
‘Hong Kongers’, to me, are people who need to do things ‘Hong Kongers’ do. Eat Hong Kong food. Care about Hong Kong. And do not look at skin color. I hope they can also speak Cantonese. Most importantly, they should regard Hong Kong as their home. Then, they are ‘real Hong Kongers’.

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
懐かしさに溺れた まだ青かった僕ら
雲が残る合間 ただ太陽を見ていた
おざなりな僕ら 溢れだした声が
ただ大切な事は 伝わらないようにできてた
かたちのない色味を 抱きしめてみたの
期待と不安の日々を 後悔の味で知った
知らない世界へ 手を伸ばしたくて
強がりのウソなど ポケットにしまった
優しさを包む痛みも全部
覚えていたくて
ただ願って願って 生まれ変わっても
不確かな未来を謳っては触れたくて
伝って伝って 頬を流れる
その涙の味は いつかの約束
ただ灰になって 朧げになって
遠く何処かへ この夜を越えて蒼に染まる
夜もすがら夢を 張り巡らした想いを
見つからないまま 月は影を落とした
寝もやらず明けて 手も離せなくて
憧れる君を 遠ざけてしまった
あの日の僕の眼差しも全部
霞んでしまって
ただ痛くて痛くて 堪らない
空の青さは深く色を孕んでは冷たくて
伝って伝って 寄せ合う肩を
震わせた 微かな温もりを抱いては
まだ見ぬ世界へ 花は風を待って
遠く何処かへ この夜を越えて蒼に染まる
犯してきた過ちも その後悔さえも
かけがえのないものだから
ただ願って願って 生まれ変わっても
不確かな未来を謳っては触れたくて
伝って伝って 頬を流れる
その涙の味は いつかの約束
ただ灰になって 朧げになって
遠く何処かへ この夜を越えて蒼に染まる
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
依舊青澀的我們沉溺於懷舊過去
僅是望著雲雲間隙中探頭的太陽
從敷衍的我們口中流露出的聲音
刻意不透露一絲珍貴重要的事情
我曾試圖伸手擁抱那不具形體的滋味
期待與不安的時光,帶著後悔的苦味度過
我希望能將手伸向未知的世界
而把倔強的謊言收進口袋裡
將溫柔包裹起的苦痛也想全部——
毫不畏懼地體驗看看
僅是祈求著、渴望著,若能有來生
仍想高頌並觸及那不可預測的未來
緩緩地、緩緩地,自臉龐滑下的淚水
那淚水的味道是某日一同許下的約定
哪怕僅化作一片朦朧、化作點點塵埃
仍邁向遙遠的某處,飛越這片黑夜、渲染上蔚藍的色彩
那夜深人靜的夢,與那心頭滿溢的思念
始終無法尋回,僅是與月光映照的身影相伴
徹夜未眠至天明,依然畏懼鬆開緊繫的雙手
卻不知不覺與憧憬的你,漸行漸遠
那一天我看見的一切也全都——
因淚水變得模糊不清
僅是隱隱作痛、好難受,令人難以承受
天空的蒼藍孕育出的顏色太過冰冷刺痛
緩緩地、緩緩地,兩人互相倚靠的雙肩
你總輕輕顫抖,只要我抱起你、傳遞那微微的溫暖
繁花等著風兒吹起,向著從未見過的嶄新世界
邁向那遙遠的某處,飛越這片黑夜、渲染上蔚藍的色彩
不論是曾犯下的過錯,抑或惦記的點點懊悔
「全都是無可取代的珍貴回憶啊。」所以啊——
僅是祈求著、渴望著,若能夠再有來生
仍想高頌並觸及我們那不可預測的未來
緩緩地、緩緩地,自你臉龐滑下的淚水
那淚水的鹹味是彼此曾一同許下的約定
哪怕所有的回憶早已化作一片朦朧塵埃
仍向著遙遠的某處,飛越這片黑夜、渲染上海洋般蔚藍的色彩
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Drowning in nostalgia, we were still young
I was just looking at the sun while the clouds remained
We were so standoffish, with the overflowing voice
I couldn't express the things that are so important to us
I tried to embrace the shapeless color
I learned about the days of expectation and anxiety with the taste of regret
I want to reach out to a world I don't know
But I put my pretended strength back in my pocket
I want to remember all the pain that surrounds my kindness
Simply pray and pray, even if I am reborn
I don't want to forget that uncertain future
Tears that intertwined and trail down the cheek
are the taste same as the promise from that day
Even if they become ashes and everything becomes vague
Somewhere far away beyond this night, it is dyed in blue
I've been dreaming all night long with these overflowed feelings
The moon cast a shadow without being found
I couldn't sleep and couldn't let go of our hands
You're the one I yearn for, yet somehow I've kept you away
All the things my eyes saw on that day have also become hazy
It just hurts and hurts and I can't stand it
The blueness of the sky is deep and cold.
Our shoulders slowly close together
You shivered, I pass on my slight warmth
To the world we haven't seen yet, with flowers dancing in the wind
Somewhere far away beyond this night, it is dyed in blue
The mistakes I made and even the regrets are irreplaceable, so I...
Just hope and hope even if you are reborn
I want to touch and sing along with the uncertain future
The taste of tears that fall and fall down my cheeks
are the taste same as the promise from that day
Even if they become ashes and everything becomes vague
Somewhere far away beyond this night, it is dyed in blue

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
曇った窓の向こう側 今はきっと晴れてるけど
僕の心の中からは 消えやしない 笑顔
鮮やかな思い出はいつも あたたかくて
照れくさい言葉も 目を見て言えた
ただ会いたくて 声も出せずに
振り向いてみても 遠く届かない
過ぎ去ってく 夕日のように
二人歩く あの帰り道も
思ったより味気ないもんだね
この歌はきっと 空へ舞い上がる
あなたにも届くかな?
ほら まだここで色あせずに 信じてるんだ
悲しみの向こう側へ
雨上がりの街並みは 無邪気なほどきらめくけど
照らし出されたその先に こぼれ落ちた 涙
まだ誰も知らない約束 あたたかくて
間違いだとしても 捨てずにいるよ
カタチすらない 夢は消えない
叶わなくていい 願いもあるよって
繰り返し 言い聞かせて
ついた嘘も 塗りつぶせたから
心配などいらないと笑って
この声はきっと 夜空に舞い散る
あなたまで届くかな?
ねえ 今もまだそこにいると 信じてるんだ
悲しみの向こう側へ
あやふやな言葉達が いまもまだ凍えている
曖昧なあなたの笑顔が 刻むこの時を焦がす
振り向いてみても 遠く届かない
過ぎ去ってく 足早に
二人歩く あの帰り道も
思ったより味気ないもんだね
この歌はきっと 空へ舞い上がる
あなたにも届くかな?
ほら まだここで色あせずに 信じてるんだ
悲しみの向こう側へ
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
雖然現在一定已經放晴了,卻向著結露的窗外那端望去
在我的心中,仍存著永不逝去的笑顏
腦海中鮮明憶見的無數過往,總是溫暖我心
也曾能注視著你,說出臉紅害臊的話語
現在僅是渴望能與你相遇,卻早已無法吐露任何心聲
即便再如何回首往昔,也無法望見抵至遠方的種種
漸漸遠行而去,猶如沉入地平線的夕日般
二人曾一同走過的、那段返家的路途
如今卻比回憶中還要更加平淡無味
只願這首歌能夠,高聲響徹這片遼闊雲霄
一定能傳達至遠方的你對吧?
看呀,我仍在這裡,毫無褪色地堅信著——
在這種種悲傷的另一端,等著
雨後天晴的城鎮,正天真稚氣地閃爍著光輝
陽光映照出的倒影,卻是泛出落下的點點淚滴
即便是仍未實現的承諾,也令我倍感和煦暖意
哪怕早已犯下太多過錯,也不會捨棄我而伴在身邊
即使不具形體,其所孕育出的夢想也不會就此消逝
「世上也有著不必去實現的願望。」
你在我耳邊輕聲反覆地說著
「之前騙你的承諾,就將它們全數塗抹捨棄吧,沒關係的。」
你如此笑著,對我說不用擔心
只願我的聲音能夠,在這片夜空中飛舞散落
聲音一定能夠飄落至你的身邊吧?
聽我說,我仍堅信著,你就在那等著我——
在這種種悲傷的另一端,等著
不直率的話語,現在仍難以說出口
你曾銘記我心的笑顏,此時卻逐漸朦朧不清,使得我焦灼難安
即便再如何回首往昔,也無法望見抵至遠方的種種
僅是一瞬間,你便自我眼前消失、遠行而去
二人曾共同留下影跡的、那段返家的路途
如今卻比回憶中還要更加平淡孤寂
只願這首歌能夠,高聲響徹這片遼闊雲霄
而身處遠方的你,也一定能聽見對吧?
看呀,我仍在這裡,毫無褪色地堅信著——
在這種種悲傷的另一端,等著你
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
The sky must be cleared after rain, yet I still look towards the other side of the dew-dropped window.
There's a smile that would never fade away deep in my heart.
The vivid memories I can recall make me warm.
I can watch you and say something that makes you shy.
I just want to meet you, yet I can't make any voice.
However I turn and look back, I just can't reach the faraway past.
Fading away, as if the setting sun.
The road back home we two once walked together,
feels more lonesome and monotonous than usual.
This song will definitely soar through this sky.
It can be conveyed to you, right?
See, I'm still here believing you without fading any color.
On the other side of sorrow, I'll wait for you.
The town after rain is naively sparkling brilliance.
The reflection of those lights is overflowing tears.
The promise nobody knows makes me warm.
Even if it's wrong, I won't throw it away.
Even it has no shape, this dream won't just fade away.
"There're dreams that don't need to be fulfilled."
You keep telling me this repeatedly.
"Just paint those lies we make up black and discard them."
You keep telling me there's nothing to worry about, smilingly.
This voice will definitely flutter down through the night sky,
It will flutter down and reach you, right?
Hey, I'm still believing that you're at that place,
on the other side of sorrow, waiting for me.
Ambiguous words are still making me frozen.
Your smile once engraved in my heart is becoming vague, making me anxious.
However I turn and look back, I just can't reach the faraway past.
Fading away at a quickened pace.
The road back home we two once walked together,
feels more lonesome and monotonous than usual.
This song will definitely soar through this sky.
It can be conveyed to you, right?
See, I'm still here believing you without fading any color.
On the other side of sorrow, I'll wait for you.

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
These words became this song あなたまで届かない
心は冷えきって 形はないのに揺れた
わたしはいつも通り 予定通り逃げ出して
こぼれ落ちた涙は 何も語らない
I don't want you anymore 傷つくのは得意
鼻歌 喜色満面 にじむ星屑を見るの
びしょぬれの夜はコントロールできない
それでも隠してきた でももう隠せないホントを
ホントのホント ホントの感情
Just wanna be with you 離さないで
悲しい夜を乗り越えて あなたに出会えた
息が止まる前に紡いで 終わりが来ても終わらせないで
知らないふりで笑ってたんだ 本当は大声で泣きたかった
何も無いって思ってた心が震えて
波しぶきが舞い上がって星屑を消した
闇と光の狭間で踊る夜光虫
額縁に入れた感情なんていらないホントを
ホントのホント ホントの感情
Just wanna be with you 恐れないで
涙も夢も引き裂かないで さよならしないで
まぶたも耳も塞いでたんだ 何度も何度も叫んでたんだ
気づかないふりで笑ってたんだ 傷つけていたのはわたしだった
命が消えて終わりじゃない ゼロに戻しても始まりじゃない
ねえ 世界に色を付けてみてよ
Just wanna be with you 離さないで
悲しい夜を乗り越えよう
本物 偽物 ホントもウソも とらえた心が見せてたんだ
あなたにとってわたしは何だ?わたしにとってあなたは?
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
種種話語形塑成歌,卻無法響徹至你心中
心意早已冷落,不成形體卻仍受躁動擺盪
我亦如往常,如往常般逃離一切
滿溢而漫出流下的眼淚,已無需作任何解釋
「我已經不需要你了。」逐漸擅長傷害他人
哼著歌,嘗試滿面喜色地望著滲進夜空的星塵
虛偽的感情於磅礡的傾盆大雨中漸漸失去控制
儘管能夠掩藏至今,卻再也藏不住真正的——
心中最真切、真摯、不可否認的感情
「我僅是想伴在你的身旁,拜託別離我而去。」
撐過並跨越這滿佈悲傷的夜晚,只求能與你相遇
嚥下最後一口氣前苟延慘喘地編寫感情,即使終焉臨近也別令其完結
只是故作不知道而笑著,但其實一直都想放聲大哭
原以為早已死寂的內心卻如聲顫抖
浪沫拍打上黑夜洗去點點星屑
如浪中暗與明間隙穿梭躍舞的夜光蟲
我才不需要嵌進畫框般靜止的感情,而是——
心中最誠摯、真實、毋庸置疑的感情
「我只想和你在一起!」我已不再畏懼
請別撕裂那淚水與夢想遺留的種種,也請不要再作道別
我闔上眼也掩著耳,我可是這樣無數次地無數次地叫喊著
我竟能裝作未察覺而笑著,製造傷痛的人其實是我啊
生命流逝並不代表終點;回歸虛無也不代表起始
那你,試著將這世界染上色彩吧
「我僅是想伴在你的身旁,拜託別離我而去。」
度過並跨越這無數悲傷的夜晚
在理解真相、虛假、實話、謊言之後,我的內心已能夠辨別真偽
對你而言我是什麼?對我而言你又是什麼?
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
These words became this song; it won’t reach you
My heart grew chilly and shook, despite having no form
Just like always, just like planned, I ran away
These overflowing tears tell no story
I don’t want you anymore, I’m so good at getting hurt
I’ll hum, beam with joy, and watch the streaks of stardust
I can’t control sopping-wet nights
Even so, I hid them… But I can’t hide them anymore, my true
True, true, true feelings
I just wanna be with you, don’t leave me!
I overcame a sorrowful night
And met you
Just speak, before my breath stops
Even if the end comes, don’t let it end
Laughing, pretending not to notice
What I really wanted to do was cry loudly
My heart shook, thinking it was nothing
The salt spray whirled into the air, erasing the stardust
The plankton glow, dancing between darkness and light
I don’t need feelings that sit in a picture frame, true
True, true, true feelings
I just wanna be with you, don’t be scared
Don’t rip up our tears and dreams
Don’t make this goodbye
You were covering your eyes and ears
Crying out over and over
Pretending not to notice and laughing
The one causing pain… was me
Even if your life burns out, that’s not the end
Even if you return to zero, that’s not the beginning
Hey, just try adding some color to the world
I just wanna be with you, don’t leave me!
Let’s overcome this sorrowful night
What’s real, what’s fake, truth, lies
My ensnared heart showed them all
Just what am I to you?
To me, you’re…?
