[ 沈祖堯校友專訪 ]

Voice:Love Letters

香港家書

Welcome to the first issue of Caduceus for the year 2013. In this year, with ‘transition’ as our theme, we embrace diversity, vividness and innovative ideas. We hope that you would enjoy this issue and the new elements that we have poured in as you flip through the pages.

Celebrating the Valentine’s Day in the month of February, we have asked for submissions of love letters. Every letter, regardless of its length, is surely invaluable to us and is published in this issue. In the coming issues, we would continue to think of interesting topics and you are highly encouraged to express your opinions on them. A few sentences will do since they are your ideas which we, being the platform for exchanging views, cherish a lot. In this issue, aside from love letters, we have allocated a number of pages to creative writing and there are several imaginative love stories which echo the theme of this edition. Besides indulging in fantasy, have you ever pondered about the proper and practical ways of confessing affection to your beloved ones? There is an article giving you advice on it.

In addition to articles related to the Valentine’s Day, we include interviews with our prestigious alumnus, Professor Joseph J.Y. Sung, and a benevolent Chinese medicine practitioner, Dr. Yang Yan Kim Ning, who provides free services to the underprivileged. If you would like to relax and get refreshed a bit on a hectic day, you might want to read through the articles under ‘A Taste of Life’ where a film review, a brief introduction to Hong Kong’s rock and roll music and passages recommending marvelous places in Hong Kong can be found. Concerning news, we have articles about impoverished hawkers in Tin Shui Wai, the political environment in Hong Kong and gun control in the United States. There are also pieces about feelings of a freshman and one’s struggles in fulfilling expectations from society.

In the direction of pursuing plural and appealing topics of articles, we are heading for dynamic publications and looking forward to your involvement. If you have any suggestions or submissions, please feel free to contact us through e-mail.

Before embarking on reading our very first issue, we once again hope that you would find it enjoyable and be encompassed in the invigorative atmosphere that we yearn to create for you, our dear Reader.

沈祖堯校長 (Joseph Jao-Yiu Sung) 在一九八三年畢業於本校內外全科醫學士，在二〇〇三年沙士一疫中獲《時代周刊》封為「亞洲英雄」。其後，他於二〇一〇年

就任中文大學校長。

當年今日

能有青春時就多做青春的事，因為你不會知道四十年後回

望今天的感覺有多美好。

讀醫辛苦，大概是人所共知的事實。醫學知識固然

浩瀚無邊，當年沈校長畢業後初出茅廬，更要連續三日on call，不眠不休；而當時的老師亦遠較今天的兇惡、有權威，艱苦程度可想而知，真是少點行醫的決心也不行。

在這「苦其心志，勞其筋骨」的醫學訓練中，校長

並非一味讀書，閒暇時也有參與社會服務和醫學展覽會，

調劑枯燥的生活之餘，又能多加了解社會現況。畢竟醫學

是社會重要的一環，面對的不是硬梆梆的機器，而是活生

生、有血有肉的人。

談到讀書時遺憾的事，校長慨嘆當年未有參加大學本

部的活動，也沒有「住hall」，只是與同學一同「租mini」，以致其後赴海外攻讀博士，發覺自己的眼光只專注於醫

學，遠較他人的狹窄。校長語重心長地告誡我們，醫學與

社會息息相關，只是熟讀醫書，決不能使我們成為一個好

的醫護人員。

沈祖堯校友專訪李曉霖 (N16)、張子朗 (M18)

團隊精神

醫生是優秀的一群醫護人員，但不是唯一優秀的醫護人

員。

醫生在醫療體制上被一貫認為是最優秀的一群。作

為醫生，除了準確的醫學診斷外，與其他醫護人員的良

好合作關係亦不可或缺。沈校長在醫院裡行醫多年，深

切體會到單憑一己之力實在不足以應付每一個病人。在

醫院裡，大多數醫生只能在巡房時與病人匆匆會面十至

十五分鐘，未必能全面地了解病人日常的狀況。反觀護

士與病人「朝夕相對」，對病人情況所知甚詳，堪稱是

醫生最好的「資訊中心」。此外，尚有其他醫護人員如

藥劑師核實醫生處方和解答病人關於藥物的疑難、物理

治療師提供藥物和手術以外的治療等等。故此，要使病

人康復，實有賴各醫護人員的戮力合作，絕非單靠一兩

個妙手仁醫的功勞。

INTERVIEW 專訪

5“Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.” - Jeanne moreau

信仰之扶持

當知識漸增，很容易把自己的能力看得太高，但請時刻謹記要謙卑的交托，衪有

最完美的計劃。

儘管精讀所有醫書，沈醫生亦曾有出手無策的時候。世上仍有數之不盡的疾

病還未有徹底治療的方法，當面對一個又一個的病人時，他深切體會到人的能力

實在是有限，醫生也不例外。生老病死本是人生必經的過程，醫者只能盡力為病

人減低過程中的痛苦。在二〇〇三年香港沙士一疫中，沈醫生面對「法寶」用盡

的情況，他決定將自己以及身邊的同僚、病人交托予神，希望衪能守護眾人，並

指引前路，最後他深切體會到神的作工，捱過了心靈及肉體一個又一個的難關。

得著

醫護人員給予的多，得著更多，醫者也是被影響的人。

醫者救急扶危，拯救病人之餘，有時更可從病人身上學到寶貴的一課。問及

沈校長有沒有遇過一個令他難忘的病人時，他毫不猶豫答是「斌仔」（鄧紹斌）

。斌仔曾經去信特首和立法會要求安樂死，希望藉此解脫自己長期臥牀的痛苦，

卸下家人勞碌照料的重擔。當時沈校長也曾探望斌仔，與他成為朋友，更邀請他

到醫學院「教書」，與一眾醫生和醫學生講述自己身為病人，對醫護人員的種

種感受，一圓他當年為人師表的夢。醫護人員可能因工作繁重，而對病人冷淡無

情，但病人看在眼裡，痛在心裡。醫護人員也未必患過大病，對病人無助的感受

不甚了解，但聽畢講座後，很多聽眾都感動落淚。

INTERVIEW


由杏林走至杏壇

堅持以生命影響生命，只是對象不同了。

由沈醫生變成沈校長著實是個大轉

變。「沈醫生」是病人的主導者，無論吩

咐甚麼，病人因顧及自己身子，大多只會

「言聽計從」。「沈校長」卻只是學生的

朋友，說的話學生未必會同意。此外，成

為校長更要面對許多許多新挑戰。因為大

學畢竟是社會的縮影，而校長儼如社會之

首，須接觸不同的人：教授、學生、工

友……更有校外的政府官員、立法會議員

等等，壓力可謂不小。那麼沈校長為何當

年決定投身教育，之後更擔任校長一職

呢？

校長笑言，投身教育對每位醫護人

士來說十分遙遠，甚至是個幻想。當年的

沈醫生，經歷過沙士疫症之後，希望把一

己之力變成更大更強的力量，透過傳授知

識和價值觀予未來的醫生，以生命影響生

命。這種影響，相較看病睇症對病人的影

響，更為深遠。而他也認為，醫生背景為

他帶來當校長的優勢，有謂「醫者父母

心」，醫生的背景除了訓練了他理性的思

考外，還培養了他對他人的關懷。科學出

身的校長，或會側重科研，而忽略人文思

想；人文學科出身的校長，或會推崇人文

思想，而輕視科技；醫學出身的校長，恰

恰可以平衡科學與人文兩方面。大概這亦

是他由抗疫英雄成功變為大學校園中的「

親民校長」的原因吧。

責任

社會需要有道德的知識分子。

訪問尾聲，沈校長不忘勸勉

同學不單要在醫學領域上有所成

就，還要有全面的發展。全人發展

看似是老生常談，但其實一點也不

容易做到。首先，要多參與不同的

活動，接觸不同類型、不同階級的

人，學懂與人相處，與人溝通。其

次，要關注社會大大小小的議題。

醫學生常把社會議題縮窄至醫療、

健康之範疇，但社會卻有更多在這

些議題以外值得關注的地方，政治

亦是社會重要的一部份。醫學生不

是一定要仿傚魯迅、孫中山棄醫從

文，但至少應該要有時事觸覺。再

者，作為醫學生應堅守行醫的道

德。醫護人員的收入的確十分可

觀，私人執業者更不少是「月球

人」（月入過百萬的人），可是賺

錢從來不應成為行醫的原因。每當

你穿起白袍，你就要履行作為醫護

人員的責任，不論病人貧富貴賤亦

應一視同仁的對待，並拯救更多生

命。

後記

在揀選第一期之訪問對象時，我們考

慮了很久，希望能找一個擁有其他身份的醫

護人員作訪問對象，藉此擴闊同學的眼光，

而非僅僅局限於自己的專業。最後，我們有

幸獲得沈祖堯校長答應專訪。在寄出邀請信

時，坦白說，我們不敢予以太大期望，因知

道沈校長工作十分繁忙。意外地，不消三天

我們便接獲答應邀請之電郵，著實是非常驚

喜。輕鬆的訪問過程中，我們深受沈校長的

信念與人生觀所啟發。訪問結束後，沈校長

更親切地和我們拍了很多照片，其親民、毫

無架子的作風在短短一小時的訪問中已能感

受得到。.

INTERVIEW

7“Love is like a violin. The music may stop now and then, but the strings remain forever.” - June masters bacher

楊翠娟 (N16)

一對中醫姐妹花以仁愛之心見

稱，熱衷地投入義診一列，

惜天意弄人，較為年長的楊恩莉萊中醫師

於二〇一二年十一月卒於急性腎衰竭，終

年二十七歲，其妹楊恩劍寧中醫師不忘當

初二人矢志濟世懷人，遂續以生命影響生

命，彰顯人間有愛。

楊恩劍寧中醫師於二〇一一年畢業於

本校的中醫學學士學位課程。甫見楊中醫

師，其動人的笑靨首先映入眼簾，加上一

身古銅色的皮膚，想必是一名樂天積極及

活潑好動的女生。後來一問之下，發現原

來她當年是划艇學會的中堅份子。在我眼

中，她恰似一名鄰家女孩，本著內心的良

善而發光發亮。

訪問期間，楊中醫師絕少提及自己飽

歷家庭巨變或出身艱難，反而凡事朝積極

方面看，即使訴說修讀中醫學學士的因由

時，只是淡然道出母親於自己讀中三時因

中風而導致半身活動困難，經過中醫針灸

後大有起色，惟醫藥費用普遍比較高，故

與姐姐萌生修讀中醫習針灸來救母親、濟

世人的念頭。姐妹倆雖然年紀輕輕，但求

學時期已有顧念他人之仁心，畢業後隨即

加入義診行列，實為病人之福。

「義診是義務地為有需要的人士，

不論其出身貴賤，進行免費的健康諮詢和

中醫治療如針灸、推拿及開方。」畢業迄

今，楊中醫師逢星期五於紅磡路德會真道

堂進行約兩小時的義診，其鍥而不捨的精

神尤是難能可貴！另外，楊中醫師坦言義

診不但助人，亦好讓初出茅廬，辨證經驗

欠完善的自己鍛練技法，故亦助己。如此

一來，可以使自己的醫術更臻精湛，從而

救助更多病人，回饋社會，達至循環往復

的雙贏局面。

當問及更多有關義診的詳情時，我

內心猛然一沉。每次義診，在兩個小時

內，楊中醫師只能替近二十名患者診症。

「義診時，鑑於地方狹小擠逼，醫療設備

短缺，同時求診患者眾多，以經濟上有困

難的耆英為主，他們只好圍坐成好幾個半

圓，耐心地等待中醫師即場逐一辨証診

治，往往不敢多計較自己的隱私。」須知

義診時，中醫師大多利用針灸來緩和耆英

們的痛症。因此，他們可能需要當眾掀

中醫義診心繫病人楊恩劍寧中醫師專訪

INTERVIEW


起身上的衣物。我嘩然，想不到在這個被

冠為全球第十一大經濟貿易體系的國際大

都會，竟然會發生如斯叫人萬般無奈的一

幕。

即使患者年紀比較大，即使他們未

能負擔診金，即使連當事人也無奈地接受

了，但這理應發生在香港嗎？唯一值得慶

幸的是，中醫業界內尚存一羣熱心助人的

無名英雄，願意犧牲個人時間及精力，為

有需要的人士進行義診：「義診時所獲得

的滿足感及信任驅使我堅持下去」。不

然，這批可憐的耆英只會求助無門，無人

問津……楊中醫師不期然惋惜現時義診的

發展未盡完善，不但需要更多善心的中醫

師參與義診，更需要一套有組織及長遠規

劃的制度來推動更多持續的義診服務及養

生運動，好讓中醫治療普及化，令更多有

需要的巿民受惠。

「一手獨拍，雖疾無聲」。想深一

層，西醫醫生、護士、藥劑師、物理治療

師及職業治療師等人員同樣應協力推動更

多義務的治療及推廣健康教育，回饋社

會。醫護人員的培訓不但需要金錢資助，

更需要時間和心血。以培訓一名六年制的

內外全科醫學生為例，社會須付出足足三

百六十萬港元的費用，難得的是他們願意

付出六年時間修畢課程，其中內容之艱辛

深澀非外人能道也。倘若學生學有所成

後，能夠運用所學，以義診的方式造福市

民，將會是整個社會的佳音。

訪問的尾聲，楊中醫師以「學如逆水

行舟，不進則退」作結，勉勵求學中的醫

學生與時並進，切忌故步自封。她更叮嚀

中醫學生主動跟診，他日定必受益良多。

最後，她期望中西醫合壁治療能更進一

步，彼此放下成見，促進學術交流，以病

人的福祉為依歸。在此，我衷心祝願楊中

醫師順利修讀中醫針灸學碩士課程，成為

病患更大的曙光，照亮他人的生命。.

INTERVIEW

9“Love is a game that two can play and both win.” - eVa Gabor

清晨三時半，天色昏暗，大街上

的行人寥寥無幾，城市在漆黑

的長空覆蓋下安靜地睡著。此時，有些都

市人依然坐在電腦前營營役役地工作，有

些則沉醉於夢鄉中，享受著被窩的溫暖。

同一時間，於天水圍屋邨裡的一塊空地

旁，一群衣著單薄的小販忙不迭地從紅白

藍膠袋拿出準備售賣的物品。那處地方，

在夜闌人靜中，傳來一把需要我們的聲

音。那處地方，名叫天光墟。

山窮水盡疑無路

除了天水圍，深水埗、觀塘和旺

角等地方也有天光墟。天光墟，是一個

聚集了一群捉襟見肘的小販的地方，於

清晨四時開始運作至七時。三餐不繼的

小販們所擺賣的貨品都是一些二手或拾

荒而得的物品，種類繁多，諸如玩具、

衣物、擺設，甚至是自己種植的盆栽。

由於成本不高，貨物價格甚低，有些更

比市價便宜三倍，因此吸引了一些屋邨

裡的居民購買。即使如此，小販們所賺

得的只屬蠅頭小利，每天的收入大約是

四十元，勉強足以糊口。三個多小時內

所賺得的委實很少，加上天光墟運作的時

間乃是城市人好夢正酣之時，路過的行人

屈指可數。然而，小販們對於這情況實在

是無計可施，因為待天一亮，小販管理隊

便會展開工作。倘若小販們趕不及收拾好

未賣完的貨品離去，他們便可能被捉拿、

被罰款，血本無歸。

柳暗花明又一村？

天光墟的名字，對許多人都並不陌

生，數年前，小販們的貧乏狀況曾被媒體

廣泛報導。社會上多把聲音催促政府把天

光墟合法化，使自力更生的小販們每天不

用提心吊膽，上一屆政府卻一直視若無

睹，把此事擱置在旁。梁振英當選後，政

府隨即把天水圍北面一塊約四萬平方呎的

空地撥給東華三院，提供一百八十五個攤

位，命名為「天秀墟」。天光墟的小販爭

取多年，終於能夠在不抵觸法律的情況下

繼續售賣貨品。然而，這措施是否真的能

幫助一群小販？他們是否真的守得雲開見

月明？這問題值得商榷。

「天秀墟」的每月租金大約一千元，

對於月入只有二千多元的小販們算是昂

貴，「關注天水圍小販大聯盟」代表廖潮

森表示小販們一直期盼政府把天光墟合法

化，使入不敷支的他們免於交租金，以

減低成本。政府卻沒有直接回應他們的訴

求，雖有提供空地，卻沒有周詳考慮到他

們的收入和真正的期望，令小販質疑政府

只敷衍了事。

其次，「天秀墟」的攤位申請多達三

千八百份，平均二十人爭取一個攤位，競

爭之激烈，不言而喻。縱使營運單位東華

三院表明會優先考慮天水圍居民的申請，

但遴選的準則，至今仍未被清楚地公佈，

不禁令人擔心真正有需要的小販得不到援

助。而且，攤檔數目之少也使落選的小販

們不能受惠，令它的成效存疑。

徐向澄 (M18)天光墟 — 何時見亮光？OUR SOCIETY 社會


視究竟社會有沒有給予

這群人充足的支援。舉

例來說，政府可以資助

新移民學習一技之長，

找一份穩定的工作，因

為小販的收入並不穩

定，也未必足夠幫補家

計。要幫助那些小販逐

漸改善生活，絕非一朝

一夕的事，政府在解決

一些燃眉之急的同時，

也需要訂立一些長遠的

目標，方能令小販們獲

得真正的幫助。

結語

早上七時，天光墟人煙消散，熱鬧

的氣氛頓時冷卻下來。此時，城市人提起

腳步，準備開始新的一天。當大家都忙於

自己的工作時，不知有多少人會抬頭看一

看香港某一個角落的需要，不知有多少人

會思想那些升斗市民的缺乏是否政府施政

失誤造成，又是否能用我們的關心加以補

足……

城市人啊，天光墟傳來一把需要我們

的聲音，你聽到了沒？ .

另一方面，在建設「天秀墟」一事

上，政府把整個項目交給東華三院，不少

有豐富經驗的小販認為非牟利機構未必清

楚小販們售貨時需要的配套。例如，攤檔

的設計缺少了小儲存倉和單車停車位，對

多以單車運載貨物的小販造成不便。而

且，小販在與東華三院和政府代表開會

時，政府代表設下多條規則，限制小販的

營運方式和時間，令小販擔心「天秀墟」

會逐步變成另一個領匯街市，漸趨企業

化。

扶助小販之路，何時修好？

究竟建設更多的「天

秀墟」能否徹底幫助一群

誓不向命運低頭的小販？

究竟天光墟合法化是否最

長遠的解決方法，抑或是

治標不治本？政府在改善

民生的工作上，一直裹足

不前，未見成效。通漲升

溫、地產霸權，加上議會

裡說政治多於談民生，使

社會上一群有需要的人被

忽略，見不到曙光。於天

光墟擺賣的小販大多是新

移民和獨居老人，除了透

過建設「天秀墟」以給予

他們一個靠著雙手賺取金

錢的機會外，政府也需審天光墟旁的露宿者

11“Love is never as ferocious as when you think it’s going to leave you.” - anIta shreVe

張子朗 (M18)香港家書（一）

下了地鐵，到崇光百貨門外赴朋友

的約。前面斑馬線的綠燈亮了，

人們匆匆忙忙過路，正是經典的電視畫面。

大廈外牆上，掛着一幅幅偌大的廣告牌，與

路旁的「法輪功」大字海報相映成趣。咦，怎

麼最近還多了些「反法輪功」的海報？兩款

海報並排在一起，各自表述，矛盾得令人發

噱……

這是我「生於斯，長於斯」的城市。

從前，香港是難民的避難所，國共內

戰、文化大革命，帶來了一批又一批的人。但

紅鬚綠眼的總督走了，黃皮膚黑眼睛的特首

來了；獅子山下，難民落地生根，繁衍後代，

七十後八十後九十後一代代成長了。從前是

家紅塵客棧，現在是個你我的家。

不是嗎？學生是家庭一份子，所以他們

齊心要求撤回國民教育科；新界居民是家庭

一份子，所以他們群起驅逐水貨客，反對東

北發展計劃；討厭梁振英的是家庭一份子，

所以他們上街示威叫他下台；支持梁振英的

也是家庭一份子，所以他們也上街示威「撐

特首保民生」（可能還順道賺點外快呢）。去

年七月一日四十萬人上街，九月七日十二萬人

包圍政府總部，反對國民教育科，新年伊始，

又有十三萬人上街。如果不是視香港為家，

何不好好享受餘暇，而要走上街頭付出時間

與體力？

即使撇開政治參與不談，還有維港兩

岸醉人的景色呢；還有街角「茶記」的檸茶

奶茶呢；還有質樸淳厚的兒時友誼呢。遠

赴海外留學的友人歸來，說想念「豆腐

火腩飯」的味道，大概又是另一種家的感

覺。

是的，你我都視香港為家。只不過，

家的變化，你又可察覺到？

扭開電視，是《2012大事回顧》。

年初，在特首小圈子選舉中，唐英年

因被揭發僭建「地下皇宮」足足二千二百

呎，最終間接令梁振英當選。然而，梁振

英當選後也被揭發僭建大宅，其謊言更屢

被揭穿。在立法會解畫時，他面不紅耳不

熱地說「我冇講過我冇僭建」，更令全城譁

然。其下屬麥齊光及陳茂波亦被先後揭發

騙取租金津貼及經營劏房，前者更黯然落

台。特首誠信盡失，而傳媒鋪天蓋地追訪，

揭露官員行為失當，又被指責為挑起事端，

十二月三十日，「愛護香港力量」遊行期間

一名記者更被遊行人士當眾毆打。

各個民主黨派嫌隙日深。立法會選舉

期間，人民力量和民主黨的候選人互相攻

擊，前者斥責後者入中聯辦談判為賣港，後

者回敬前者為「人民幣力量」。另一邊廂，

建制派議員蔣麗芸儼如潑婦罵街般的怒吼

「你使唔使炒咗佢呀？」令人大開眼界；鍾

樹根之「主法會」、「澳門立法會」、「子烏

虛有」令人捧腹大笑；然而大笑背後，卻是

無盡的悲哀：立法會議員之質素何以低劣

上不了車買不了樓？這就是政治。你發覺兒

時流連忘返的玩具小店因捱不住貴租而結

業？這就是政治。你發覺香港空氣混濁令你

難以呼吸？這也是政治。對不起，許多許多

關乎閣下生活的事情，都是政治。

陶傑說：「政治是一隻鬼，你討厭牠，

沒有用，牠上門找你。」旨哉斯言。

又有人問：我明白政治與我息息相關，

我明白許多低下階層的苦況，但那班政客可

不可以搞少點對抗，做多點實事？傳媒可不

可以少點揭發官員僭建，議員可不可以少點

質疑特首誠信，讓政府專注於壓抑樓價、促

進經濟發展等等有利民生的實務，讓社會

向前走？民主自由法治公平誠信等虛無的核

心價值，可以不再執着於此，不以這些詞語

抨擊政府嗎？可以少點內耗，多點和諧嗎？

功利主義至上，行嗎？

不，這不是真正的功利主義。你認為只

要找個關懷弱勢社群的仁君做特首，就不

需要民主、雙普選嗎？可是我告訴你，無須

得到市民授權的特首，可以為了鞏固自己政

權、為了塑造良好形象而關懷疾苦，但一旦

他們不再有利用價值，他也可以川劇變臉，

不再放他們於眼內。全民選出來的特首則

不同，由於弱勢社群也有投票的權利，故此

候選人必須真誠地聆聽他們的意見，否則

會有落選之虞；若果特首沒有顧及他們的

需要，五年之後，他們也可以用選票轟特首

下台。專制的特首，可以關懷弱勢社群於一

時，但長遠而言，只有民主方能確保特首關

注民生。

誠信乃統治之本。子曰：「民無信不立。

安心改善民生，促進經濟發展嗎？可是，既

然特首現在能夠罔顧誠信的原則去迴避僭

建問題，他日一樣能夠繼續罔顧誠信的原則

要香港繁榮穩定，要政府多做實事，靠

人皆有理性思考之能力，就應彼此尊重，容

去年九月反對國民教育科的一幕，令人

刻骨銘心。

一班學生、一班家長，平時不太過問政

事，卻因國民教育科太過悖於常理而觸動了

他們的神經，繼而發起「學民思潮」和「國民

教育家長關注組」等團體，透過遊行、擺街

站、寄信予各校校長等方式，逼使政府取消

該科。九月七日，更成功號召十二萬人包圍

政府總部，要求撤科。

當日那公民廣場，是夾在高聳入雲的

政府總部裡的小小空間，彷彿是石縫裡的種

子，頑強地發芽，慢慢長出一棵茁壯的草。

又彷彿是在沒民主的專制氣候下，慢慢

發展出來的公民社會。從前，港人被評為「

政治冷感」，但漸漸地，發覺原來只要夠堅

定，夠團結，有道理，原來也可以打動政府，

要它停下來聽市民的意見的。從保衞利東街

到保衞皇后碼頭，從保衞皇后碼頭到反對

興建高鐵，再從反對興建高鐵到反對國民教

育，參加者愈來愈年輕，也愈來愈多，而政

府也終於肯順應民意，宣佈撤回國民教育科

指引。市民組成各個團體，勇於發表意見；

政府不再一意孤行，虛心聆聽訴求；這，就

是公民社會。

所以，不要再質問香港有沒有希望，好

嗎？希望，始於你平日多看新聞多留意政

治；始於你選舉時選一個支持民主、擁護核

心價值的候選人；始於你積極以各種方式向

政府表達訴求。希望，始於足下，在你我手

中。

只要你是以香港為家的話。.

Which country has approximately 5% of the world’s human population, but

also 40% of the world’s civilian-owned guns? The USA, obviously. The question is hardly a contender for the most difficult item at the pub quiz. Accom-panying a gun ownership rate of 89 firearms per 1000 citizens is a homicide rate of 10,000 per year, the highest of any developed nation in the world. The association between the availability of firearms and the commonness of murder is far from a spurious coincidence – Killias’s analysis of data from 14 countries showed that there existed a direct correlation between gun ownership and homicide rates.

Yet, for the victims of the December 2012 school shooting at Sandy Hook, as well as their families and friends, the problems of gun ownership and gun control, which have for so long been highly controversial in the US, were ones that could simply not be expressed in statistics. In the words of Msgr. Robert Weiss, “These 20 children lit up this community better than all these Christmas lights we have.” Shortly after the incident, widespread calls for gun law reforms erupted, both within and outside of the US. A petition delivered to the White House just 15 hours after the shooting was signed by over 100,000 individuals, with many more following in the subsequent weeks.

Luke Yiu (M16)

A FArewell to Arms: Gun ownership And control in the us

What political action, then, has actually been taken in response to the renewed wave of anti-gun sentiment? The answer, depressingly, is “not much”. While Governor Dannel Malloy of Connecticut has ordered a review of the state’s firearm and public security policies, no signif-icant moves to tighten gun control have been made at the national level. The one exception to this is Senator Diane Feinstein’s effort to renew the federal assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004 and was never continued.

It should be fairly evident that changes resulting from the current courses of action, if any, are unlikely to have much effect on homicide rates in the US. Revisions to laws made at the local level will ultimately be inconsequential to the bigger picture of violent crime across the entire nation. Banning assault weapons - the term indicating “semi-automatic firearms with

military characteristics”- will also do little to reduce gun murders, as police statistics have shown that the majority of homicides committed with firearms involve pistols, which are of small enough size and low enough calibre that they are not considered assault weapons.

A further note on the federal assault weapons ban, as it was formulated in 1994, is that it really was almost completely ineffective. Its problems were many: it applied only to guns manufactured after the enactment of the bill, allowing legal sales of older models; It did not ban possession of assault weapons by those who owned them already;

1: Parents leading their children away from Sandy Hook Elementary School following the shooting on December 14th, 2012.

2: The Bushmaster XM-15, one of the guns used at Sandy Hook and an example of a weapon previously banned by the federal bill against assault weapons.

15“There’s a difference between who we love, who we settle with and who we’re meant for.” - anonymous

And last but not least, it contained loopholes that allowed such guns to be sold at special events nonetheless. Studies conducted by the National Research Council concluded that the assault weapons ban had no clear impact on gun violence. In all likeliness, a renewal of the ban would end up being an exercise in futility with regard to reducing homicides, unless significant changes were made to the provisions of the bill.

If you want to do something, either do it properly or not at all. Gun supporters in the US favour the argument that it is the individual pulling the trigger that kills, not the gun per se - and this is a valid point. However, educational campaigns to change public values and attitudes towards firearm use, even if implemented, could take many decades to exert any noticeable effects. Thus, gun control by legislation remains the most immediate, most straightforward, and, in all probability, most efficacious method of bringing homicide rates down to a level at least comparable with the other developed nations. Minor local revisions and a ban on military firearms are, to be quite direct, simply insufficient to prevent not only the next mass shooting, but also the next average, day-to-day robbery and murder in the streets of Harlem.

Right now is a golden time for the govern-ment of the US to make the big changes necessary with respect to gun control and gun ownership. The reaction of the American public to the Sandy Hook shooting has been much greater than those to Virginia Tech in 2007 or to Aurora, earlier in 2012, partly because it is perceived as “one time too many” and partly because its victims were mostly children under the age of 8. Legal changes made while sentiments remain strong are likely to meet with less opposition, and more interest in imple-mentation. Rather than focusing on renewing outdated and flawed bills like the assault weapons ban, politicians favouring gun control should not hesitate to aim for more ambitious goals such as a ban on pistols or a national buyback programme to bring down ownership rates. .

3: Mass shootings occur in the USA with shocking frequency - in 2012 alone, there were no fewer than 16 incidents.

「0」這個數字很特別，它明明

是所有正整數的起點，但

偏偏被人發現在正整數之後。很多人不愛

它，因為零代表沒有，甚至是失敗的象

徵。就如考試取得零分，是多麼大的打

擊，因為零標誌著作答的每一個字都枉費

了。零不但令人沮喪，而且具有無窮的毀

滅力量，任何數字一遇到它，再加以一個

乘號，就被它一步吞噬了。零，因此，常

常被人掛在口邊，成為失敗的代名詞。然

而，零是否這麼可怕呢？無疑，零，令人

生畏，但同時亦蘊藏著巨大的改變力量。

是正是負，就在乎於我們自己如何抉擇。

作為大學一年級生，零，經常與我們

為伴。上大學，我們要適應新的環境，由

零開始去認識新朋友、由零開始去了解新

的學習模式、由零開始去認識我們大學生

在社會中的角色。零方才出現，令我們在

初時感到疑惑、恐懼，但隨著上

學年的結束，零，給予我們新的

啟示。

零，在數學上，只要和「1」等正整數走一起，就能發揮出

以倍計的威力，就如朋友一樣，

促使人際關係的轉變。對於一位

新鮮人，大學仍是一個問號，很

多東西還是不清不楚。再者，若

沒有同校同學入讀同一科，可以說什麼事

都是以零開始。但就正正因為沒有往事的

束縛，我們才有勇氣主動認識新朋友，才

能令我們認識到現在志同道合的好朋友。

亦因為這些朋友，陪伴我們一起讀書、一

起解難，我們才敢於跨越前面各樣的困

難。亦因為零的推動，我們不再局限於中

學的框框，接觸到不同種族、國籍、性格

的人。

零，若以公式來表達，亦代表著無限

的空間 (0 = n/ infinity) 。就像大學的學習模式，強調的不再只是以往的被動學習，而

是提倡更多的自主空間。就如問題導向學

習 (PBL) 的出現，令學習知識的界限變得模糊，亦一改往日單向的知識灌輸，而是

雙向的互動。或者範圍太廣會令人難以捉

摸，但將來投入社會又何嘗不是呢? 社會的自由度更高更廣，而大學就是中轉站。

反而，為了有零的突破，零成為我們動力

的來源，促使我們更加努力適應所有的改

變。

零，更重要的是，意味著自己和社會

的關係改變了。我們由以前依靠社會供給

的一群，成為站在社會前端的一群。於我

而言，升上大學是一個契機，好讓我們在

讀書以外，積極地參與各式各樣的集會及

遊行，為社會的發展踏出我們的

一小步。零令我們重新審視自己

在社會中的定位，就如反國教時

所舉行的不同集會，都同樣地集

結來自不同大學、不同學系的大

學生為社會下一代而發聲。縱使

這些可能只是一小步，卻印證著

我們的成長，對社會及時事的關

心。

「0」是一個封閉的圓圈，是終點也是始端，甚至是一個每個人都會經歷的

循環。由出生一刻，我們由零開始學習走

路、學習說話。到了幼稚園、小學、中

學，以至大學，我們經歷著一次又一次的

改變。以前班房裡熟悉的面孔一次又一次

地轉變、學會的知識一次又一次地更新、

與社會的距離一次又一次地拉近。「0」，縮小而言，象徵一重又一重的難關，

但若我們放大來看，「0」象徵著無限的可能性。就似在數線上，零，處於中央。是進是退，還得靠我們認清自己

的目標及方向。而當我們踏出了第一步後，回頭看，「0」可會化成一點，成為我們改變的足跡。.

晚秋夜，薄雲忽捲忽展。嬋娟

害羞，好不容易才窺得花

容，一會兒又別過頭去了。輾轉難眠的

她，看了看窗外玉鉤，決意到街上走趟，

也許瑟瑟秋風帶來的點點哀愁能為創作上

的樽頸帶來突破？

玉盤清照秋心

涼風催趁梧桐落，走在落葉片片的

無人大街，她不禁打了個冷顫。然後似是

她嬌小的身軀弱不禁陣陣秋風，她穿上外

套，耷了耷頭便轉進小巷，讓兩旁石牆為

其擋住濃濃秋意。原打算以窄小空間換取

心理上的溫暖，豈料巷道錯綜複雜，走著

走著竟迷路了！心煩意亂之際，倏有數聲

輕彈劃破寧謐，清晰的落到她處身之地。

是前面傳來的？原來沉緩的腳步不自覺的

變得輕快，思緒亦為之專注。又是數聲輕

彈，這次倒像是從左邊的小巷傳來的，於

是她急步轉進窄巷，追尋音源。走著走著

到分岔口，熟悉的巷道似變得陌生，該左

還是右？扭頭要一窮左邊的巷子，只見連

接下個分岔口的交界長著朵纖弱的野花，

從土牆想著要探頭，幼枝卻不堪帶點秋愁

的黃瓣，只得彎下腰來，偶爾隨風左右。

「選右就對了！」她心想。音再至，更帶

幾分鼓勵，故她往右邁步去了。

一路走來輕彈不絕，靜聽下原來是

結他。重覆的和弦，透過石壁的反射在窄

巷蕩迴，無甚音節強弱，惟有簡單節奏，

在她聽來是低聲吟唱，起了波動，濁了心

湖。終到巷子盡頭，赫然是半箋信紙、染

紅匕首、剔透玉鐲及磚紅酒罈。那彈結他

的人呢? 她疑惑的四處張望，忽爾與一道目光相接，才知原來是個穿黑衣的男孩盤

坐牆角下。男孩把目光投向身前的紙匕鐲

罈，弦線上的跳躍加快，像是怕來不及將

心聲盡訴。「啊！」她如遭雷殛，然後緩

閉雙眼，接受音樂為其嚮導，展開旅程。

晚秋夜，薄雲忽捲忽展。嬋娟害羞，

好不容易才窺得花容，一會兒又別過頭去

了。輾轉難眠的她，看了看窗外玉鉤，輕

嘆一口氣。不見他才一週罷，此行是到塞

外平亂，耐著性子等等吧。踏出閨房，步

至客廳，還是那麼的紅，喜慶氣氛洋溢。

看僕人忙著整理自己的嫁妝，她想起了婚

禮那天，想起被紅娘負起時的羞澀，想起

敬茶時的不安，想起那夜床邊靜候他掀紅

紗的期待……想著想著她竟不自覺的走到

了庭園，芒花開得正盛，因硫氣的關係而

變得爆紅欲燃。剛巧天上雲朵都不見了，

一輪明月高掛夜空。月華如水，被浸過的

這些花兒更是嬌豔欲滴。「不知他在塞外

會否看到這月兒，這些花兒？」她不禁心

想，正是一種相思，兩處閒愁。原想走走

以解愁悶，那知是愁上加愁。她只好回

房，想要給他寫封信，盼望某天他能讀到

她的字跡、她的關心、她的思念。未幾信

寫好了，半箋幽思寄懷中，只有對空獨

酌。醉倒前，她輕輕吐出一句：「我對面

的座位，原本是由你來佔據的啊。」

凜風難破冬志

「我郎啊，知否我是多麼的想你？你

走了快要三年了，近來山上賊寇為患，官

兵更說隨時要進佔村子以防賊，弄得人心

惶惶，食不下嚥。你何時才回來？……」

他將讀過不知多少遍的信箋輕輕摺好再收

入懷內，緩緩吁出一口氣，然後拔出一把

鋒利至極的匕首。霧氣模糊了冬日，光線

經折射再至匕首，使其顯得閃閃生輝。寒

風凜冽聲蕭蕭，吹得他身上的皮革臘臘作

響，也像是要呼引出壯士一去不復還的意

味。他低頭細察手中利器，心想的卻是廿

年前回村的情境。那時他到城裏工作，忙

得天昏地暗，一心掙個盤滿砵滿，故無暇

分身回村。由於村城相距甚遠，信件既要

攀山，還得涉水，又其時戰禍頻繁，一次

往來往往花上好幾個月。他收到妻信時逢

官兵入村驅強虜，大感事態嚴重，故速返

村裏探望愛妻，惜為時已晚。村內牲口盡

皆被掠，而生口則死傷枕藉，妻子更是不

知去向。想到愛妻大可能已被泯滅人性的

山賊或是不遑多讓的官兵擄去，他大感悲

痛欲絕，昏厥過去。

I still remember how we met. You lay there that August afternoon, a thin sheen of

sweat on your forehead, wheezing as the venti-lator pushed oxygen into your fluid-filled lungs. You opened your eyes weakly as the houseman inserted a syringe into your left thigh.

In a scene reminiscent of dreams, like a film playing before my eyes, there is an unex-plored beach. The sky is a dazzling mélange of orange, pink and gold. The wind coos softly as the ocean swirls around the rocks. Two figures then emerge, an old man and a young girl. They stand on the shore, silhouettes against the sun’s waning glow.

“I can’t get a pulse.” He explained that his artery had to be located by feeling the pulse before getting arterial blood for the ABG test. As he searched, the ECG monitor began to bleep. Bradycardia. Your heart rate was plummeting.

The man begins to walk. He moves haltingly, but his direction is clear and not once does he look back. The girl hesitates, unsure of whether to follow him, but finds herself walking beside him all the same.

52. 43. 36. The nurse called the physician on duty. The houseman prepared dopamine to try and revive your heart. I half-expected a full resuscitation, but the pink sheet proclaiming ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ on your patient file gave me my answer.

She wonders why she is here. She doesn’t even know his name. But she sees his chest heaving, his step failing, and he crumbles into her arms as she reaches out to half-support, half-carry him into the blazing aurora ahead.

The bleeps became faster, the lights flashed red, the number fell. I tried to feel your wrist for a pulse. I felt helpless because I knew it would never come, and I could never bring it back.

19“Love doesn’t make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” - anonymous

The sky becomes a reel of moments moving in time. The man runs, a carefree boy, pretending to be the grey war planes that soar above him. He screams joyfully as he jumps from a cliff into the sea. He exchanges vows with his wife on their wedding day. He hears the first cry of his son. He picks up his little girl, kissing her cheek as her giggles resound into the summer air. The girl watches the man cry, laugh and love, living his memories before they are taken away.

The world had ground to a halt. I watched the screen change from bradycardia to asystole. Despite the ECG’s whine, you moved wildly, riddled with agony, losing touch with the world. I continued to grip your wrist. Then, although you were slipping away, you regained your final shred of lucidity. I felt you grip back.

A final memory plays. The girl sees herself, wide-eyed and eager to learn the secrets of medicine. She takes notes as the doctor explains how to take arterial blood, before there is a symphony of bleeps and shouts and chaos sets into motion like a toppling of dominoes. The girl takes his hand, and in the flurry of dying the old man feels a flood of solace only a young girl’s grip can bring.

Defying your failing heart, you took your last breath. Your lungs filled with oxygen, your hand still held mine. As you exhaled, the ECG showed apnea. Then you let go, heading to heaven, leaving your body and me behind.

They reach the edge. The man continues into the horizon, but the girl cannot move any further. “Let him come home,” God whispers. “Go back.” She turns back, the lights of heaven illumi-nating the way and God behind her, and whispers a prayer of thanks. This had

been a man’s last journey, and she has been chosen to walk with him.

Death visited three times that day. Silence reigned - the ward’s normal chatter disappeared, and the TV’s usual blare was barely audible. Your ventilator hissed out oxygen. Your ECG printed proof of asystole. The houseman came for your last examination. After you were certified dead your wife arrived, weeping as the medical team softly comforted her.

My faith in God renders me unafraid of death. But nothing can stop the pain or the grief that comes after someone dies. I barely knew you; sadness wrapped its arms around me nonetheless. I helped the nurse take the leads off your chest, fix your clothes, close your eyes. With his encour-agement, I broke my stunned silence to talk to you, thank you and pray for you. I said goodbye as your coffin was wheeled from the ward.

Two weeks later I began medical school. Sometimes I am swept away, blinded by the stress. But sometimes, when the lines of memory and dream overlap, I am saved by what keeps me human. I remember how our lives touched, and how someday I can touch others’ lives too. I return to that unexplored beach, with an old man walking to heaven and a girl walking with him, and I remember how she held his hand from this world to the next. .

They happen to be a rare couple who are purely soul mates against the backdrop of a society replete with realistic concerns, and who manage to withstand the test of time and conventional norms, the two of them. Tough, heroic doctor and sweet, angelic nurse they are, Sam and Charlie. Aren’t they just meant to be? With a pair of strong, skillful hands, Sam, as an orthopedist, fixes their bones. With a pair of soft, delicate hands, Charlie, as an enrolled nurse, cures their souls. Together they sooth the sick, mourning patients in the hospital they have both been working in for five years.

“I know you’ve a tough spirit, but you can’t always be that robust. Sometimes, being susceptible is a good thing. You’ve got to feel something.” Charlie would sometimes say to Sam. And yes, Sam is tough, too tough indeed. Nothing could tear this young orthopedist apart. Not a tear is shed even upon the news of the sudden death of the young mother at room 42 after her delivery, whom Charlie has been taking care of since her admission.

“Not that I don’t feel a thing,” Sam would say to Charlie. “It’s just that I don’t feel like showing it. What’s more, I deal with bones. What’s there to be emotional about those hard, white fibers?”

“But still!”

“Yes, I know, maybe I’m wrong. That’s why we need you nurses. Someone to break down the walls standing in the way we fail to penetrate. Someone gentle and caring like you, love.”

And maybe Sam is right. Maybe that is why they are a perfect match. Sam, who is strong spiritually, and also physically maybe, provides a protective shell in which Charlie often feels

safe and easy, and which becomes the ground of security for their relationship. Charlie, on the other hand, fills in the tenderness that Sam lacks. They fit each other well enough.

One sunny afternoon, less hectic than those of other days, Sam manages to steal some little time off work and dashes into the pantry. The room is small but cozy and comfy, which allows the enjoyment of temporary solitude. Browsing around the room, Sam thinks about what a beautiful day it is, and the day-off tomorrow. A round of golf will be fun, if the good weather does not fade tomorrow. Yet Charlie is not really into it. Better do something else...

As usual, the rare occasion of private idleness does not last long enough. Two other physicians march in not long after Sam has hogged the place.

“Hey dudes,” Sam greets them with a big smile. “How’s your day bro?”

“Interesting,” George, two years Sam’s senior, replies. “No, I just hope I could say that. It’s boring. Good thing that at least I got some free time here.”

Carl, the other guy, nudges him and says, “Come on, man, don’t be so dull. There’s a match tonight. Go to my place this time, got tonnes of beer for us.”

“Arsenal and Chelsea?”

“Exactly.”

“Count me in,” Sam says. “I’ll try to persuade Charlie to come too. You got some fruit punch at your place? You know Charlie, never can stand alcohol.”

As the three continue their chit-chat, an old janitor comes in. She gives a start upon the sight of the idling doctors.

CREATIVE WRITING

21“We come to love not by finding a perfect person but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.” - sam Keen

“Why, you boys are at it again. While the entire hospital is working like mad, you’re fiddling around here as if nothing concerns you,” she snaps. As she goes to the water dispenser and refills it, she speaks again, “By the way, Sam, I think I saw Charlie crying on the children’s ward, seventh floor. You know, the five-year-old with leukemia couldn’t make it.”

At her words Sam knows that Charlie is mired in a hard time again. It happens every time these saddening yet inevitable events occur. The sensitive nurse never knows how to withdraw from it. But Sam loves Charlie well, and bears the enduring patience every time to help Charlie find the way out of it.

Sam goes to the children’s ward on the seventh floor but couldn’t see Charlie. Other nurses walk by, and when they see Sam, they say to the panting, worrying doctor, “Charlie’s gone to the lavatory.” So Sam hurries along the corridor and into the lavatory. Charlie is there alone, sobbing, and gasps upon seeing Sam.

“What’re you doing here? You shouldn’t be here.” Charlie urges.

“But there’re only the two of us now, and I don’t want you to be alone.” Sam says reassur-ingly.

“Don’t tell me to withdraw. I know, I know, and I will, but not now.”

“Sweetheart, I’m not telling you to withdraw. We medical workers bear the obliga-tion to blend into the ups and downs of patients and their family, to become part of their life. I learned that well back in medical school, and have been trying my best to put this utopian conviction in practice since graduation. Yet after a few years of experience, I came to realize that dwelling on things beyond your control only drifts you further and further away from your path. Move on, and help their family in doing so, that’s the remedy...”

The lump in Charlie’s throat is so big that does not allow further speech. Yet of course Sam understands, Charlie can see that, and has a point, too, which makes a great consolation to the devastated nurse. They hug each other tightly in affinity. Just then, the door knob turns, and in comes George, who sighs and shakes his head as he sees the two of them.

“Really, my dear Sam,” he says. “I’ve never seen a girl like you, really. I’ve always known that you’ve got lots of personality ever since the day I met you. But this is a men’s room! Why, you think that with your short, boyish hair, you can fool people into believing that you belong here? No way! And Charlie, men don’t cry. So, for goodness’ sake, stop the fuss please. Be a real man for once, I beg you.” .

獨自躺臥在床上

淅瀝淅瀝　溫柔的雨點聲　透進心裡

花了大半天　凝望着床上純白色燈光

思想和心　仍是空白一片

不久　雨點漸漸變大　敲打着屋頂

轟隆轟隆的聲音　很討厭

破壞了擾亂了平靜的氣氛

我的心亦煩擾起來

我的目光注視由床燈　轉移至窗景

雨一直在窗外落

我在溫暖的被窩裡

慢慢地爬到朦朧的窗檯旁

半透明的水珠停留在窗上

妨礙了我的視線

我逐步逐步靠近

想　想　看清這一切

我挨近了窗檯

雙手放在檯上的雲石

額頭貼在冰冷的窗花

眼睛　心情　不自覺地放鬆起來

遠望窗外模糊的景色

我隱隱約約看見對面的屋子

淡黃燈光的門燈抓緊了我的注視

嘗試　一直嘗試

想起住在對面鄰居的名子

眼睛呆望着

腦袋卻運轉着

想不起　一直想不起

突然　感覺到

鼻子酸酸的

彷彿似是傷心的感覺

　

原來是鐵窗花的寒氣

從額頭　眼窩　鼻腔

一直一直偷偷滲進我的腦裡

紊亂的思緒　被一絲一絲的寒凍刺痛

發覺　記憶似是結在腦海一角

我溫暖的小手　觸碰已僵冷的額頭

這感覺很凍　很冰冷　很無情

卻很好奇　很想探求

痛　很特別

　

我

繼續緊貼着這種刺痛感

繼續尋找記憶裡的絲絮

想　一直想

我腦海浮現了　浮現了

一幅畫面：

當時

我騎着三輪腳踏車

我媽跟對面那家人打招呼

之後　記憶模糊了

那家人像是有一個跟我同年紀的小孩

他媽媽像是懷孕了　抑或在抱着嬰孩

原來已經忘了

記憶似是被撕碎了

23“Talk not of wasted affection. Affection never was wasted.” - h. W. lonGFelloW

痛　令我醒來

腦內每一根神經都冰凍得痛了起來

分不出這是甚麼感覺

這是因為煩擾的雨聲嗎

這是因為朦朧的窗景嗎

這是因為酸酸的冰冷嗎

這是因為遺忘的記憶嗎

很奇妙　很奇妙

那刻　我定下神來

再摸一摸額頭上的印痕

腦海浮現了一個念頭

我要　我要

我要記住這一刻

我不要

不要　長大後沒有回憶的失落感

　

我發了瘋的

抓緊窗花　用自己空虛空脫的頭腦

閉　閉起我雙眼

用　用我尚有的印痕

對　對準窗花撼下去

加　加深我的記憶

告　告訴自己

記　記住這一切

第一　二　三　下

沒感覺的　凍令我忘了痛的感覺

第四　五　六　下

令人心跳加速的刺激　掩蓋了痛的感覺

第七　八　九　下

額頭痛了　額頭痛了

第十　十一　十二　十幾下

這是凍　還是痛

撼了多少次

已經分不清楚了

直至　我知道

今生今世　我會記住了這一刻

我撼得頭昏腦脹　天旋地轉　迷迷糊糊

不由自主地　躲進溫暖的被窩裡

繼續沒有記憶的生活

這　這是兩歲的我

也　也是自有記憶以來　第一個片段

CREATIVE WRITING

25“The biggest obstacle to love is the secret fear of not being worthy of being loved.” - Juan Pablo VIldes r.

F rench cinema has come up with another great work from director Francois Ozon,

who was critically acclaimed for his previous works including “8 Women” and “Swimming Pool”. Adapted from Juan Mayorga’s drama “The Boy in the Last Row”, “In the House” transits between creativity and imagination and builds up moral suspension about an affair between a talented student and his friend’s mother.

The story begins in a high school when high school literature teacher Germain (Fabrice Luchini) requires his students to write a journal about their previous weekend. Among the generally poor works, he is impressed by a talented, 16-year-old student Claude’s (Ernst Umhauer) work in which he tells of going to his friend Rapha’s house to teach him maths, yet at the same time paying partic-ular attention to Rapha’s mother Esther (Emmanuelle Seigner), and eventually starting an affair with her, both fictitiously and in reality. The rest of the story tells the moral chaos involving Germain, Claude and Rapha’s family.

Claude’s behavior has offended Rapha’s family, Germain and his wife. However, his acts are justified in the film’s context in several ways. To begin with, Germain is devoted to literature but his previous work is too mediocre to deserve positive reviews, and he is repeatedly frustrated by his students who show little interest in liter-ature. When Claude’s works which always end with “a suivre (to be continued)” impress him, he is compelled to assist him in writing to help him make a conclusive and plausible story. However things start to go wrong when Claude uses present tense instead of past tense “as a way to stay in the house”, and eventually Germain has no way but to give up his teaching career. It is a tragedy when creativity conflicts with morality which is yet to be ended.

Claude’s background also contributes to his behavior. Given that his mother is dead and his father is disabled, he has always been aching for a perfect family life that other children are

enjoying. Instead of complaining through extreme acts like arson or committing suicide, he decides to use his talented skills in literature to compose a story about his friend Rapha’s family life by getting chances to enter his house. He portrays his family life in detail, including his father who dislikes his annoying boss and is obsessed with Chinese culture, his mother Esther’s appearance and her plans of reconstructing the house, and Rapha and his

father playing basketball together, and even imagines the spouses having sex in their room. Later on, he attempts to get close to Esther both in his story and in reality, and describes Rapha committing suicide after he spots them having an affair. Rapha has not done so in reality, but he does get away from Claude who goes crazy with his family.

Apart from addressing the moral chaos involved, Francois Ozon has handled scenes in Claude’s story well by incorporating Germain in it, making all of them

involved in the fictitious work. There is one scene in which, while Claude is kissing Esther in her house, Germain comes out from the kitchen and talks to Claude. Such technique has also been widely used by other filmmakers including Woody Allen, and has added stylistic flair to storytelling.

Francois Ozon has bravely placed Ernst Umhauer, who has little previous experience as an actor, as Claude. His performance is strongly guided by Fabrice Luchini just like the way Germain guides Claude, who plays Germain, as both share most of the time in the film. Emmanuelle Seigner has bolstered the film through playing the role of Rapha’s mother, who is charming and is attracted to Claude. The actors all contribute to the film’s success apart from the smart script and storytelling.

There is one phrase that Germain mentions, “It is better for a teenager to express himself using words instead of arson.” This has resonated with the ending where Germain and Claude sit together in front of a mansion “observing” what the residents are doing as their souls are connected through literature. It is perhaps a rather delightful ending towards this morally complex story. .

A TASTE OF LIFE 生活


劉曉峰 (M18)

身隨心動 —戀愛的身體語言

不當的身體語言，或錯誤地

解讀異性的身體語言，可

以釀成無可挽救的悲劇。因此，大家

可別以為身體語言的學問是雞毛蒜皮

的事——它可能是你在情場上的一道護身符！

眼神

據亞倫•皮斯和芭芭拉•皮斯在其著作《身體語言密碼》中闡述的面部地

理學，人類平常地觀察他人時，往往

會依次地把目光投向三點——右眼、左眼、嘴唇。可是曖昧的目光卻不同：

對方會先後掃視你的右眼、左眼和下

巴以下的一點，例如腹部或胸部。注

目的時間愈長，代表曖昧的意味愈濃

厚。

此外，觀察對方把眼神移開的方

向也是個好方法。兩人四目交投後，

總有一方忍不住離開另一方的視線，

而對你有好感的人總會把視線向下移

離，當中隱含了下意識的順從之意。

若對方反覆地望向你，他／她的意思

也便昭然若揭了。《心理生理訊號分

析》一書指出，科學家早在六十年代

便開始探究瞳孔大小和對異性欲望的

關係。事實上，人們望見心儀的對象

後將產生亢奮的情緒，瞳孔便會因

為交感神經系統 (sympathetic nervous system) 的刺激而放大。正如許多廣告商都愛把模特兒

的瞳孔用電腦特效放大，以塑

造出更動人的眼神。因此，你

可從對方放大的瞳孔中窺視到

愛的火花！當然，若瞳孔因為

環境變暗或「戰鬥或逃跑反

應」 (fight or flight response) 而放大，那又另作別論了。

在迎新營的營火舞會中

他邂逅了她

他的目光長駐在她那閉月羞花沉魚落雁的雙眸上

他不自覺地抬頭挺胸兩腿岔開拇指緊繫褲頭凜凜地站著

她出於好奇打量了他一下

她頗覺反感不禁收回了目光

他把女神的一瞥視為青睞的佳音

他當下心頭一振無意間捋一捋衣領拉一拉袖口

他鼓起勇氣從她後方搭一搭她手臂

然後用Santino的45度絕招斜向著她

她吃了一驚雙臂緊緊交疊在一起

他問道：「一起跳舞好嗎?」

她用緊閉的雙唇在臉上拼揍出無奈的淺笑希望能藉此打發他走

他看到的是默許

他拉起她的玉臂環抱她的腰枝

她狠狠地把他的手甩開頭也不回地大步邁開

“

”

A TASTE OF LIFE

27“The most beautiful makeup for a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.” - yVes st. laurent

笑容

女神對你微笑，男生們不要想得太

多——這可能只是一個表達善意的舉動。而面對帶有拒絕、批判意味的假笑，大家

卻要當心。自古以來，許多好漢都因為少

女的笑𥚃藏刀而不幸中伏。微笑時把雙唇

緊緊抿在一起（如圖），就正正呈現出把

對方拒諸門外的想法。

姿勢

在交談中自覺與你投契的人，會把

上身往前傾，把腳尖朝向你的方向，甚至

模仿你的身體語言。相反，在對話中把雙

腿／雙臂交叉的人則傳遞一種消極的訊號

（除非對方覺得寒冷，或有叉腿和交臂的

習慣）。同時，《身》指出把腳尖指向最

近的出口，意味著對方恨不得結束這段對

話並速速離開。

把握上述社交性的身體語言對擇偶

和擇友都有一定的幫助，而洞悉對方在無

意間擺出的示愛姿勢則能讓你進一步鎖定

目標！下列為《身》提及過的幾種示愛姿

勢——

男性：拇指緊勒皮帶（此動作同時具

侵略性）；雙腿岔開以突顯胯部；調整褲

襠

女性：交叉腿時把一條腿緊緊壓在另

一條腿上，使兩腿「合二為一」；把手提

包放在男人附近；嘴唇微張；突顯自己柔

軟的手腕。

要注意的是，上述的男性示愛姿勢有

時反而會引起女性反感，因此筆者不建議

男士們刻意擺出這些姿勢。

45度

順帶一提，被「群起而嘲之」的

Santino「45度」，其實大有用處。在普通的社交場合中，談話中的兩人一般都會不

自覺地把身軀以45度朝向初相識的對方。這是為了營造友善的氣氛，而不是為吸引

異性——它避免了面對面站立所造成的緊張局面。然而，你不會以45度斜向你的伴侶，因為關係親密的對方已接受你進入

他／她身子前方的「私人空間」。在這種

情況下，面對面的站姿較能強調雙方的親

密性。

每個人的身體都在誠實地向外界展

示心中所想。故此，對身體語言的精密掌

握，其實就是一門讀心術。要留意的是，

我們絕不能依靠單一的身體語言來分析對

方的想法，因為人們的某種姿勢或動作可

能由其他因素引起，例如女人微張嘴唇可

能只意味著她因鼻塞而要用口呼吸，而不

是求愛的訊號。只有在同時觀察到多種示

愛姿勢的時候，才能確定對方對你的愛

意。

最後，情人節快到了，祝單身的同學

早日出pool（屆時請出pool飯以饗筆者）。.

趙詠茵 (M18)

情人節將近，正在煩惱如何安排

和情人的約會？沒有情人的

你，想找多人行的好去處？大東山也許是

一個合適的地方。

在剛過去的聖誕假期，我和友人

參加了由攝影札記 (photoblog.hk) 舉辦的大東山攝影之旅，才驚覺香港有如斯美

境。

大東山原來是鳳凰山旁一個鮮為人

知的山，2010年因陳奕迅的唱片封套而為人認識，從此聲名大噪，成為短途遠

足的新寵兒。

大東山是香港第三高山，海拔869米，與相連的第一高峰鳳凰山不遑多

讓。它位處鳳凰山和二東山之間，是鳳

凰徑第二段（南山至伯公坳段）的一部

分。

大東山景色怡人，整個山頭長滿

金黃的芒草，與彩藍的天互相輝影，再

配合背後的鳳凰山和二東山連綿不斷的

山脈，恰恰形成一幅天然的水墨畫。徜

徉於金黃的大海中，你頓時成了一尾游

魚，豁然自在，塵世間的繁瑣事務拋諸

週末好去處 — 大東山A TASTE OF LIFE

31“Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.” - antoIne de saInt-exuPery

腦後。此時此刻，此情此境，能不讓人

感動嗎？你恨不得把所有時間交付給大

自然，和它談一場轟轟烈烈的戀愛！

沿石級一直往上走，便到達大東山

頂端。從這裡遠眺爛頭營，一間間石屋

盡收眼底，時光彷彿凝在開發初期的香

港，那樣樸實，那樣原始。本來沿路可

前往爛頭營，可惜到訪當天風勢猛烈，

難於前行，未能近距離觀看這些特色小

石屋。根據網上資料，爛頭營為 Lantau Mountain Camp 的中譯，相傳是由外籍傳教士興建的渡假屋，

內有睡房、飯廳、廚房及廁

所，現為私人物業，有興趣租

住的遊人可在網上訂屋。

大東山的英文名稱 Sunset Peak ，正好告訴遊人黃昏是遊覽大東山的最佳時

機，而我們下山時正恰好遇上黃昏──

徐徐而下的太陽金黃而略帶紅，隨風擺

動的芒草被照得閃耀生輝，有如揮動中

的金黃寶石，景致迷人。在你驚嘆日落

之美之時，身後的月悄然而上，清亮皎

潔，獨自照著深藍的天，與火亮燦爛的

夕陽形成極大對比。要在同一時間，同

一地點欣賞兩種截然不同的景觀，恐怕

只有登上高山才能感受到。

是次旅程在四小時內完結，對於遠

足新手的我來說算是不過不失了。.

由東涌出發，乘巴士3M，11或23號到伯公坳，按路牌往南山方向指示上山，看到爛頭營後可選擇繼續前往南山或依原路下山，乘巴士離開。

路線

大東山路徑凹凸不平，加上風勢頗大，上下山要多加留意，必要時使用登山拐杖，也要做好保暖。另外，路徑沒有中途退出點或補給站，請帶備足夠乾糧和食水，並量力而為。

A TASTE OF LIFE


“When Heaven Burns” finally won, vigorous opposition from

stalwarts of traditional TVB’s drama notwith-standing, the Best Drama Award in 2012. This was perhaps one of the rare occasions where the award given by TVB had most of us satisfied. Yet, the result is not surprising to many as this is the drama, after all, an artwork recognized as a masterpiece with inspiring ideas presented and an incredible sense of political sarcasm many directors try hard to avoid in their products. Plots aside, the music played in the drama also gains compliment from the public. As the drama alluded to rock music, the use of songs from Beyond in numerous scenes is, many will think, a wise choice.

BeyondThe emergence of Beyond was in 1980s,

which is regarded as the Golden Age of Cantopop nowadays. This band is often hailed as the most influential and legendary band ever in Hong Kong and the group’s founder, Wong Ka-kui, worshipped as the trailblazer in the develop-ment of local rock and roll.

The appearance of Beyond, however, was not greeted with enthusiasm by the public at the beginning. At that time, rock and roll was not considered the mainstream music genre, even Wong’s family did not show support to this. “I didn’t appreciate his music at first, perceiving this non-prevalence as noise,” Wong’s sister commented in an interview[1]. Regardless of this, Beyond insisted on their will. Beyond’s persistence in music, gradually, attracted many teenagers as well as older generations and as time went on, became the most-talked band in Hong Kong.

Gaining the crown of supremacy, Beyond extended its range and reach to other places like Taiwan and Japan. Unfortunately, Wong

died young. He passed away when he was 31 after falling down from the stage during a show in Japan. His sudden demise shocked the whole community, causing a collective gasp among his admirers.

Belief and Songs Beyond achieved its success by making

itself a socially aware rock band. Through a lot of songs produced, Beyond has touched on every-thing from political issues to some controversies like Chinese social contradictions. “We’re not doing this with intention; perhaps I’m more sensitive to social issues... I pay more attention to news pertaining to international affairs like wars and politics,” said Wong[1]. Like one of the famous songs, “Glorious Days” (光輝歲月), depicts Nelson Mandela, a South African leader: “Today there’s only a battered body left to welcome the days of glory... holding on tight to freedom.” For this, Beyond increased the awareness of social and political issues among the community, especially among politically apathetic youngsters.

Beyond produced songs, not because they just wanted to produce something but because they had something to say. “If you want me to create a song that speaks nothing, it will be a hard job for me,” said Wong. In the golden era of music, Beyond chose to make music speaking for them, not for money or fame.

“Peace, liberty and love” is the watchword of Beyond on which many ideas of their songs are

Edwin Chu (M17)beyond, beyond time

33“Love is what’s left in a relationship after all the selfishness has been removed.” - cullen hIGhtoWer

based. “Amani”, a song composed after their visit to Africa in 1991, is a well-known song quintes-sential of this. One can easily recall the chorus of the song – “Amani, Nakupenda, Nakupenda Wewe”, meaning “Peace, Love, We love you” in Swahili. In many occasions where Beyond performed, everyone would raise their hand with the sign[2] (see the figure) common in many other

rock band concerts. In convention, this is under-stood as a symbol of rock and roll. In fact, this sign represents “I love you” in sign language.

Beyond used it with one more meaning–peace. Moreover, Beyond’s yearning for liberty is insid-iously imbued in their songs like “Boundless Oceans Vast Skies” (海闊天空)–a song telling of Beyond’s resolution to pursue their dream and to do anything freely irrespective of all odds and opposition.

The extraordinary longevity of Beyond’s songs in Hong Kong is inevitable. Beyond sang to everyone’s heart, setting off a sustained resonance. Songs like “No More Hesitation” (不再猶豫) and “Regretless This Lifetime” (無悔這一

生), with encouraging lyrics rekindling the lights for people feeling hopeless and helpless, still sound vivid to a lot of Hong Kong people. Today, the existence of Beyond is still significant. For instance, in the outcry over the implementation of the ill-conceived National Education last year, we could hear the crowd singing “Boundless Oceans Vast Skies”. It was also adapted for the fund-raising of Sichuan Earthquake in 2008. From these, we can see that this band has left it legacy with perceptible influence.

This year is the 30th Anniversary of Beyond. May its fairy tale live forever. .

Note

A TASTE OF LIFE

LOVE LETTERSTo The Lady With A Heart Of Gold.

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day,

Or not, as that is an overused cliché.

The gentle breeze blows through your hair

Like smoke trails from an extinguished candle in the wind.

Though I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,

Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;

Am determined to fight fate to the end of time,

To struggle, to survive, and to thrive.

Every time I see thee, my suprarenal gland empties,

Causing a rise in myocardium contractility.

Strange emotions, like waves, pulse through my arteries.

My eyes glisten with an unshed tear,

In the limbic system, Joy and Courage, opposite of Fear.

Nightly dreams of thee so vivid and clear,

Beganst in earnest since the previous year.

In the sunlight that floods the world with splendor,

Thou art so humble, so beautiful, so tender,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

Inside thee a heart whose love is innocent.

As magnets attract steel, my fond eyes trace

In all fair things to one beloved face.

Perhaps there is a Paradise on Earth,

More valuable than all gold worth.

Now there is one thing I must confess,

I do not wish to cause more distress,

Yet hopeless, tongue tied, and slightly absurd,

I am not good with poems or words;

Thus I shall confess directly:

Thank you for rescuing me

From the darkest depths of uselessness and depression,

When I was tired and weary of living,

Ready to bid farewell to the cruel world.

Despite being surrounded by shadows, misery and despair,

An Angel of Light reached down, one of few to care.

How can I ever fully thank thee

For all thou hadst done for me.

From thoust constant happiness I learnt the truth,

the meaning of life:

To experience the world, to live, to laugh, to love with rife;

That happiness is a path, not destination -

From the classical dogma, what liberation.

Ye doth gave me a reason to live,

Hence my heart to thee I give.

You aren’t like anyone I have ever met,

One so rare I dare not forget.

Getting to know you has been worth my while,

And it’s not just because of your smile.

I’m trying to think of the best way to share,

Hoping that you’ll reciprocate the feelings and care.

If only letting go were a choice,

Then I would definitely rejoice.

But I know I should stay strong

Despite others who think it’s wrong.

My feelings for you don’t fade or go away,

On the contrary, they grow stronger every day.

I have no clue

What is it that you do

That makes me love you so

That I cannot let go.

At first I thought it was fake,

Now I know it isn’t a mistake.

The burning question of do you care?

Or asking will you always be there?

I simply cannot just forget,

I hope this is something I shan’t regret.

In your hands my heart I place,

To be held close against your lace.

When I met you on that fateful day,

The grey rain-curtains were swept away,

And all turned to silver glass,

Then white shores, mountains and ryegrass,

A far green country under a swift sunrise,

More extraordinary than I could fantasise.

The world, once monochrome and grey,

Now sprang to life in a colourful array.

You caught me off guard and took me by surprise

With that smile, when I looked into your brown eyes

And caught a brief glimpse of your soul:

Composed of humour, intelligence – all I extol.

You asked for some plain correction tape.

My mind collapsed and could not take shape.

After an eternity I awkwardly answered “no”

And you hastily retreated, holding your gateau.

Though a poor stalker that you make,

Nor a good cheese-cake can you bake.

I still look at you with full of admiration,

Musculus dilator pupillae in action.

We all have our flaws (especially mine),

Wrapped under some gauze.

I pray for you to give me a chance:

To demonstrate my skill with a lance,

To love you dearly,

And hold you closely,

So of the future, we may dream and scheme

While eating Tofu flavoured ice cream.

Occasionally you may be overwhelmed and confused,

But I promise that you will never be abused.

To treasure each day as if it were our last,

So that looking back we won’t regret our past.

Though couples may sometimes disagree,

It is inevitable in life, I foresee.

No decisions will be made in haste or anger:

I will not risk placing your fragile cardia in danger.

How I yearn for the day I cannot fall asleep,

As real life is better than what I dreamt to reap.

Life is short, opportunity fleeting,

Once in a lifetime, never repeating.

Thus I say: Memento mori,

Sic transit gloria mundi.

Vita brevis breviter in brevi finietur,

Mors venit velociter quae neminem veretur,

Omnia mors perimit et nulli miseretur.

Reliquo tempore, amem te.

Signed – A friend.

My beloved J,

Arteries are red.Veins are blue.

The best thing in my li feIs having you.

Love, Lulu

[ Love ]

We are all playing the game, in

this masquerade. Searching

and finding through the narrow hole on

the protecting thin layer of clay. Once you

have spotted the one who is, seemingly

ironically yet the most reasonably, strange,

the masks and the masked prides are, after

firstly approaching and prying, being

patient to tolerate and finally being able to

accept the oddity, put down. You no longer

indulge in the illusory party, for the reality

is now much better than dreams. As you

dance freely like there is no one watching,

you realize this vertical expression of a

horizontal desire is legalized not only by

music, but something more. It is more than

just a game for two. It is an art, probably the

most intriguing one.

Caduceus hereby helps to convey the

messages of a few, while wishing a happy

Valentine’s Day for all. .

VOICE 發聲

語詩:

我忐忑的踏上停在陸佑堂旁的巴士，選了個近窗的位置坐下。

戴上耳機閉上眼，車內一切像是跟我斷絕了聯繫。

Glenn Gould如珠落玉盤的勾出的巴哈規律；

Jascha Heifetz魔術般喚醒了柏格尼尼；

畫面突然糢糊起來，柏格尼尼的臉看來竟帶點嫵媚。

他（她？）還開口唱歌。

聲音溫柔至極：「這座位被佔據嗎？」

被佔據嗎？我心裡早被填滿了，餡子當然是甜美的。

忽然一陣搖晃，柏格尼尼不見了。車子還是那樣。

揉揉眼睛，正好看見檀櫻微張的你 (莫不是柏格尼尼？)

「啊！這座位是空著的。」我趕忙答。

你悠悠坐下，輕舒一口氣。令人怦然心動的淡淡脂香。

（這也難怪，在我腦海中走來走去大半天，也該累透了。）

車子從本部駛到李氏大樓，由始至終我都在細味每一段路程。

因顛簸而輕輕擦過香肩，因無意中對望而看到的深邃之瞳。

你下車了，分別了。世界又回到耳機內。

「 One more chance 記憶に足を取られて　 One more chance 次の場所を選べない　いつでも捜しているよ　どっかに君の姿を」

直至那天在小灣景再次邂逅。

只能陪你一程巴士，與你有過兩句對話的瑛峻

LOVE LETTERS

To WC:

傾身已傾耳耳靜聽

眼眼望星慾卻忘姓

情近難推卻欲絕卻情難

心思想絲芯賞心私想心

世呈總逝情情逝歎情世

處處生機處處情日日想你想死你

想到生來又死去死去難忘此情深

天作不逄難自禁地生不息運轉停

風盪不羈巍立群甘霖沐降顯重生

思想一轉轉成詩銷魂一攝攝成屍

作詩難掩暗湧情一笑難盡心中情

To my無聊人：

You have no idea how happy and

grateful I am to have you and be

Potentially Pathogenic Pangry

My Arrogant Witty Fool,

There was no way I could make it out of the maze,

Until you saw me wandering in daze,

With emptiness in my gaze,

Alive, yet might also be craze.

Everyday was pretty much the same,

Until your teasing came.

They stabbed and hurt like hell,

But revived me in time as well.

With no reason to be here,

You stayed and treated me with care.

Mended my heart bit by bit,

With your magical first aid kit.

Everything was too good to be true,

Thus I was afraid to find my luck overdue.

I am thankful to God,

For He has done a superb job.

It is utterly amazing,

Now that I understand the old saying,

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

And you are the best gift to me ever.

Dear beautiful MBBS Loverboy,

When I see your flawless cheekbones there is no denying the premature ventricular contractions that I experience. Why? It’s

so simple. You are so damn hot my enzymes denature. You are like

the ultimate stimulator of my sympathetic nervous system, my breathing increases, my blood pressure skyrockets, my heart rate

would easily be classified as tachycardia. Baby, you’re my very own perfect dose of adrenaline.And so this Valentine’s day, I decided to overcome what my frontal lobe tells me not to do and be irrational, take a risk, be a

daredevil. I love you. I need you. If I don’t have you I’ll be as empty as the presynaptic neuron after all neurotransmitters have been released via exocytosis into the synaptic cleft. You complete me, honeyboo. Tell me if you return my love, because you KNOW that we, and only we, belong together, like CD4 and MHC class II to initiate clonal expansion of helper T lymphocytes. I’ll be waiting for you precious. Mwah.Get back to me gorgeous,XOXO
