HKB founder Simon Cheng recently shared the latest experiences with "Hong Kong Perspectives," (in Cantonese) covering the following topics:
1.) The implications of the UK General Election for Hong Kong people: How it affects my and other Hongkongers' future plans in the UK.
2.) The alliance of Hong Kong's democratic struggle: Journey to Tokyo for a Democracy Alliance, aimed at establishing a global civil society network for Hong Kong.
3.) Trip to The Hague: The alliance between artists and democracy activists, and the opening of the "Ngo 我地 NGO DEI Gallery" – details about the new gallery and my trip to the Symposium on Hong Kong in Exile.
4.) Upcoming trip to The Hague: Attending the Court of the Citizens of the World.

【Simon Cheng's Keynote Speech: Imagination, Exile, and Home: Merging Art and Activism in The Hague】 Ladies and gentlemen,

Today marks a profoundly symbolic moment as we gather to celebrate "The Art in Hague" – an event that merges art and activism, organised by 'Art & Culture Hong Kong', and serves as the inauguration of the exiled pro-democracy gallery 'Ngo Dei' here in The Hague, a city renowned for its international courts. This convergence of art and law signifies a powerful statement about our collective aspirations for justice and freedom.

Our main theme, "imagination," captures the essence of this event. When we break it down – "imagine" the "nation" – we discover a shared vision that this event vividly showcases. This vision unites art and law, reflecting Benedict Anderson's concept of the "Imagined Community" from his 1983 book. Anderson posits that a nation is imagined through common arts and cultures, rather than through science, biology, or "pure-blooded" ethnicity. Governing a nation, therefore, should be rooted in laws that reflect these shared human values.

Yet, while art and law find commonality in the event and our society, they inherently embody tension. Art is not merely a conduit or tool; it encapsulates the spirit of humanity, challenging the status quo and serving as a cradle for societal progression. Artists stand with activists, advocating for social justice and the oppressed. Art is natural, spontaneous, and autonomous.

Conversely, law represents the rigidity and formality of the status quo that art often challenges. Law maintains social order, unity, and security, often lagging behind the progressive visions art strives to achieve. It is a product of political dynamics and historical struggles, reflecting conservative views on "what should be now" rather than envisioning the future. Law often needs amendment to symbolise new eras.

I deeply appreciate the robust debates and detailed discussions on social justice during the mock trial against the CCP dictators, who abuse citizens' rights, including those of Chinese, Tibetan, Uyghur, and HongKonger dissidents. Law students, trainees, and lawyers have rightly noted that law is a double-edged sword: domestic law can be corrupted and oppressive, while international law often lacks the strength to hold power abusers accountable effectively.

This oppressive environment has led many of us to imprisonment. Activists in jail are also artists, performing a powerful form of resistance. Their bodies may be confined, but their spirits remain unbroken. A totalitarian regime can only control physical bodies, but it cannot touch the resilient human spirit and intellectual mind-power if we remain unyielding in our hearts. Our greatest enemy is not the regime, but the fear within ourselves. Mental resilience is key.

To Loretta Lau, our courageous organiser and artist-advocate: your achievements, even under threat from Hong Kong and China's secret police, are commendable. As I once suggested, "Being hunted by secret police, under a one-million-dollar bounty, is a life-long honour. If the government deems the quest for democracy and freedom a crime, we embrace the charges to reveal the genuine face of social justice, unyielding to authority." Law must go beyond mere due process; it must embody legitimacy and justice, much like art does.

Our second theme, "HOME: Hong Kong in Exile," resonates deeply. We call it "house" because of its physical structure, but "home" because of the emotions and memories it holds. Although we are distanced from our physical homes, we remain spiritually close when in exile. As Thomas Mann, exiled from Nazi Germany, declared, "Where I am, there is Germany." Similarly, Yu Ying-shih said, "Where I am, there is China." Home is where we uphold our values, even in adversity, standing with the vulnerable and dissenting voices. We embody the engine of change, leaving a legacy for future generations.

In exile, welcome home.

【倫敦831 五週年集會遊行】
Five Years On: 831 Hong Kong Police Brutality Protest

五年前831在太子站駭人的畫面，至今仍歷歷在目，沒想到五年後的香港人已逐漸離散。這天，你還記得當時警察無差別的胡椒噴霧、亂棍毆打、舉槍恐嚇嗎？你還記得救護員在站外，痛哭著向警察哀求，卻不能入站救人嗎？

香港人，五年了，身在異地的我們各有忙碌，各有憂喜。但在831這個日子，我們仍然要站出來向世界宣示港警以及中共的血腥暴行，仍然要聚合銘記這件悲痛的事件。831是香港人不能忘記的日子，因為它是我們共同經歷的創傷，塑造我們的共同記憶，是手足曾為自由、公義捨身作戰，用血刻下的印記，也是香港人必須秉持信念延續抗爭，絕不能讓手足沉冤待雪的提醒。

🗓 日期：8月31日 (星期六)
⏰ 時間：4pm
📍 集合地點：Trafalgar Square, WC2N 5DS
👫🏻 遊行終點及後續集會：Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London, WC1B 3JA (香港駐倫敦經貿辦)

- 我們將於集合地點設有嘉賓發言環節，其後遊行至香港駐倫敦經貿辦作後續集會。
- 亦呼籲參與人士自製相關標語，於遊行路徑上向本地人宣示。

The appalling scenes at Prince Edward Station on August 31st, five years ago, remain painfully etched in Hong Kongers’ memories. Five years since, the people of Hong Kong have been scattered all over the world. But do you still remember the police’s indiscriminate use of pepper spray, the brutal beatings, and the gun intimidations? Do you recall the scene of the paramedics outside the station, crying and pleading with the police, but unable to enter and rescue?
