    大家好,我們是流亡海外的手足James、 Edward 和 Chris 。今日發表此文章,實為情非得已之下,呼籲大家為我們提供一點援助。眾所周知,國安法通過前後已有不少小隊、勇武成員在多方援助下流亡海外。在此,我們先交代一下我們在各地的生活情況。

    自流亡後,其實我們各自都忙於盡力適應及融入當地的生活。一開始時,我們部份人都曾向朋友借了一筆款項應付租屋及生活所需的開支。但我們明白,若要長遠發展,就必須要自力更生。雖然各國也有不少中國商戶會招請長期的黑市勞工,但由於這些黑市勞工的工作經驗對履歷沒有絲毫幫助,而且本著我們對紅色資本的抗拒,我們也不甘成為他們壓榨的對象。因為語言能力及學歷問題,我們只能做一些勞動行業的散工以維持生計。雖然有隊員在台灣落戶後成功經營網店,但由於台灣及外國的消費水平差距甚大,以網店盈利所得來援助英澳加的手足根本是杯水車薪。

    有時,各方好友也會郵寄一些物資如公仔麵、餅乾等給我們,讓我們在艱難的日子中仍能感受到一絲溫暖。然而,屋漏兼逢連夜雨,我們近期在生活上也出現了各種大大小小的困難,故在這裡與大家分享近況之餘,也希望大家能更了解我們為何要拜託有心人伸出援手。

    身在澳洲的Edward在剛到步的時候,因當地物價實在難以負荷,亦未得到工作許可,只能向友人借錢過活。在等待工作許可的期間,Edward並沒有浪費時間,明白要適應當地生活就一定要提升自己的英語能力,因此他利用等待的時間努力進修英語,為將來在當地進修升學作準備,同時亦不忘尋找各種升學途徑。然而,當合適的升學途徑岀現時,他手上的資金只能夠應付報名費或留位費,並不足以完成整個課程,所以只好先尋找工作機會。好不容易的得到聘用後,其薪水只能僅僅應付基本生活,但又因身體的各種毛病困擾導致有時候無法正常工作。其實他患有先天的眼疾,其中一邊的眼睛因先天原因導致視力模糊,必須要做手術。加上在2019的抗爭運動中經常接觸到催淚煙,而且在其中一次行動中不幸遭橡膠子彈擊中後腦,令他的病情更加惡化。Edward亦有先天性的骨骼移位,而且在抗爭期間多次受傷而日趨嚴重,需要接受長期的物理治療。當地政府在醫療上有一定的補助,但可惜以Edward的身體狀況,政府補助亦未能完全涵蓋,有不少治療還是需要自費支付,雖則部份費用已有有心人幫助,但難以支付全部款項,只能解決其中部分問題。

    至於James的情況,可說是跟Edward大同小異。James到達加拿大後,初時也是靠著少量積蓄及友人接濟以支援基本生活。由於武漢肺炎的關係,James申請難民庇護的過程需時比預計中長。他獲得工作許可證明後,用了好一段時間才找到一份兼職工作。雖然薪水僅能應付日常支出,但當時總算是可以自力更生。然而,武漢肺炎一再肆虐,公司亦以此為由辭退了有機會轉為全職的James,令他失去經濟來源,原先的學業計劃亦要告吹。

    James的工作需要較多體力勞動,要在户外工作之餘工時亦比一般工作較長,但為了生活,他亦咬緊牙關捱過去,直到他被辭退為止。不幸的是,這工作也令James的身體情況愈趨惡劣,頸部和腰椎的問題尤其嚴重。由於工時長及收入低微,他之前也一直未有就醫。他及後有嘗試查詢當地政府的醫療保險能否幫助他,惟當地的醫療保險只能涵蓋很小範圍的醫療費,故在他成功找到下一份工作前,暫時也只能放棄求醫。

    至於在英國的Chris,若你們有留意我們專頁的話都可能會知道他較為低調,很少在社交媒體上與其他人互動。 由於他及隊友當日在港牽涉的案件性質嚴重,他一直也感到憂慮不安,即使離港後也常會保持警覺。初到英國時,由於案情敏感,而當時英國政府也未推出BNO簽證計劃,前景未明,所以他也盡量減少與其他抗爭組織的接觸,先以旅遊簽證入境,之後再嘗試申請英國大學以取得Tier 4 學生簽證,希望畢業後可再申請「畢業後工作簽證」。在當時情況下,這樣他至少可確保有四年的身份在英國生活。

    本來,這計劃也看似不錯,但偏偏又總有不同的問題出現。他一直沒有依賴任何家長的支援,雖然此刻尚有少許積蓄,但學費又即將加價,他手上的錢並不夠應付整個碩士課程的學費。再者,先前又因照顧一些人有一些突發的支出,最近又被迫遷要找地方搬,這一切都令他感到極大壓力。之前他曾遇過一位在英港人說願意以較相宜的價錢租屋給他,可惜開心了沒多久,那人就說要租給別人了。雖然他明白很難怪責無人支援自己,像李怡前輩所說,我們都要為自己付出代價。但各種現實的問題確實磨人,現在要重新尋找一個租金可負擔的地方居住,實在不易,也令他對一切都感到很不確定。

    2020年至今中國武漢肺痰肆虐全球,我們雖遠在海外,卻仍避不了中共遺害,各國因為病毒之故而不時封城,令百業蕭條,經濟倒退,因此要覓得穩定而長久的工作也不是易事。畢竟長貧難顧,我們也明白到長遠來說必須要進修學業,以便在當地紮實發展,取得更大的抗爭資本。此外,如上面提到Edward要做眼部手術,這些都不是小數目。在現時的情況下,這些進修及醫療費用並非我們所能負擔,因此希望各方有心人能夠施以援手。

    其實我們本來也不太希望公開尋求協助,然而實在別無他法。我們希望可以盡快解決生活上的問題,安定下來,再開展下一階段要做的事。現時香港的局勢嚴峻,各方面的限制極多,抗爭也要進入另一階段,所以我們明白到海外港人的角色亦變得更加重要。雖然我們暫時已退下前線的戰場,但我們相信在不同地方也可以延續這份抗爭的精神,好好裝備自己,發揮我們各自的專長,為香港的前途出一分力。

    我們知道每一分錢都是各位的血汗錢,不論最後籌得多少援助,我們都定必銘記感恩。而藉著這次的分享,我們也希望在港的各位手足明白,流亡都是逼不得已,唯有打倒暴政,香港人才能真正得救!

    最後,願大家毋忘初心,牢記我們煲底的約定。

    感謝大家,祝各位善人一生平安!

    English Version:

    Greetings everyone, we are your fellow comrades who made our exile from Hong Kong. It is the considerably urgency that forced us to publish this testimony, in hope of seeking help from all of you out there. As you all may know, there were already a good amount of frontline protesters and teams made their exile successfully, before and after the legislation of the National Security Law, with the generous help from different parties from all over the world. But seeking long term hospitality is not the right way to go and in here we will explain each of our situations.

    Since our exile, we have devoted much of our energy in order to blend in well of our new lives. In the beginning, some of us sought monetary help from our friends, to support our daily expenses. But in order to be able to provide for ourselves, we had to do everything in our power to ensure that can happen. There are a fair amount of Chinese business owners who are willing to hire illegal labourers but with our disgust towards the communist regime and the fact that these jobs would not be able to help with our own endeavours, we would not bother working for them. Due to English proficiency and our educational background, we were only able to work labouring jobs and barely covering our daily expenses. Although some of us were able to launch an online shop after they settled in Taiwan, the difference in terms of expenses made it so we could barely support one another whether for England, Australia or Canada. We do not go down easily like that and we try everything that could possibly put us in a better position, and we were lucky to have our friends mailing stuff like instant noodles, crackers and such to us, just so we still can feel the bonding between one another during difficult time like this.

    The above explained our situation and as always life would not be smooth as butter, we have to deal with issues no matter how big or small, how hard or easy. We would like to take this chance to share our lives to you all, and to further elaborate on why we had to seek generosity from you.

    When Edward first got to Australia, the expenses, even compared with Hong Kong was too much for him to handle and he was yet to get a working permit so he had to cover the expenses through borrowing money off of his friends. In the meantime between time Edward made no slack as he knew he got to take his English proficiency up a notch in order to fit in. As a result, he utilized the waiting time to improve his English just so he can be prepared for school while constantly seeking for different paths for his pursue on academic. But when the opportunity presented itself, he only had so much money in his savings that could merely pay off the application fees not to mention the whole fee of the program, which forced his hand to seek for job opportunities first and postpone his schooling. After hustling for job opportunities he finally got a job that could only support his daily expenses, but at times his medical condition hindered him from working properly and regularly. In fact, Edward suffers from a congenital eye disease which as a result blurred his sight in one of his eyes, which would be best if he could receive a proper surgery. Just like everyone else, he breathed in lots of tear gas during the protest back in 2019 and worse yet, he was hit on the back of the head by a rubber bullet, which drastically worsen his conditions. Edward also suffers from a congenital spine abnormality, and combined with the wounds he got during the protest, he had to receive constant physical therapies in order for him to hold it together. To a degree, the local government in Australia can help with Edward’s condition, but even so, it could only help so much given how bad Edward’s condition is. Despite the help from the Australian government and funds by individuals, when it comes to patching up his body together again, he is looking at a lot of medical expenses.

    Compared with Edward, James is in a similar situation. With little bit of savings and help from friends, he was able to support his basic expenses. Due to Coronavirus, it took longer than usual for James’ refugee application. He spent a fair amount of time after he got his work permit, only to be able to work part time in a company, whereas the salary was just about enough for his daily expenses, he was able to provide for himself for a period of time after all. James was on a good streak and was so close to able to work full time at that company but coronavirus made it so James hit a big bump on the way to his promotion, the company had to let him go, causing James to lose his only source of income and it’s back to square one for his hope to going back to University.

    James’ work was physically more demanding than other regular 9 to 5 jobs, his job required him working outdoor no matter good or bad weather, but in order to get by, he bite through his teeth all the way until he was laid off. This job has also worsened James’ healthy condition, especially in the neck and lower back area. The above factors made it difficult for James to seek professional help on his conditions, and only after some research did James realize how little the health insurance from the government could aid on his health conditions. Until the next lucky strike lands on James together with his continuous efforts, he has to forfeit the opportunity of seeking medical help for now.

    As for Chris who is currently residing in the UK, if you guys paid enough attention to our page you would know he is more low-profile than the rest of us, and he barely interacts with people on social media. Due to the seriousness of the case he is involved in, he stays on high alert even though he left Hong Kong for quite some time already.

    When he first got to the UK the local government has not announced any plans for BNO visas, in addition to that he also tried to stay away from other protesters group as he is in deep water for his case, so he entered the UK by travel visa first, then tried to apply for local universities in the UK, hoping to be able to obtain a tier 4 student visa and aimed to apply for a “post-graduate working visa”. If everything goes smooth as he planned, he can at least be assured to secure 4 years time in the UK to figure out his next moves.

    Originally this sounded like a good plan, until some problems and obstacles arises. Chris never relied on any support from other people, although to this moment he still got some savings from before for expenses, the oncoming raise in prices for university programs made it so he will not be able to pay for the whole Masters program. More so, he had to use up more of his savings for helping someone who just got to the UK, and being forced to move out of his place, all these struggled and pressure him a lot. Just not too long ago he got an good offer for a place to live by a guy from Hong Kong who is living in the UK now, unfortunately Chris was not able close the deal quick enough as the guy rent the place to other people before Chris could. As Lee Yee once said, we all got to reap what we sow, although Chris knew for a fact that what he is facing now is not to be blamed on anyone else but himself, planning things ahead is one thing, but dealing with reality is the other. For Chris to find a place that he can afford to live in is nowhere easy, not to mention the amount of uncertainties he has to deal with.

    The Chinese Coronavirus poisoned the whole world from 2020 until this very day, although we are long way from home, we could not evade the damage caused by the Chinese Communist regime, lockdowns were always in place for most of the countries out there, leading to the closing down of many businesses and the recession in the economy worldwide, combined with all these factors, it is no doubt that it is hard on us to find a good and stable job out there. On one hand, we understand the fact that if we want to deepen our roots in where we live now, we got to make improvements, or pick up our academic from where we left off. On the other hand, huge expenses like dealing only with Edward’s medical condition is beyond overwhelming. As for what we are dealing with now, all these attempts at pursuing academic needs and medical expenses are beyond our power to tackle, and that’s the reason why we hope to get help from those of you who are willing to do so.

    We did not want to publicly seek for generosity in the first place, but it is getting out of our hands. It is our greatest hope to eliminate these problems and issues that we are facing, just so we can finally settle down and proceed to what we have planned in the future. For how bad shape Hong Kong is now in, and with all the limitations, the fight is forced to be reshaped into something else, and that is when we understand the importance of those who are not in Hong Kong anymore, including us. We know very well that we are not in the front line anymore, but it is our greatest belief that we can pass the spirit of this fight on, gearing up ourselves, try doing what we do best and fight for a better path for our Home.

    We understand every dime and cent from you guys are your hard-earned money, no matter the amount we will be able to gather, we will never forget this graceful hand from you all. We would also like to let those who are still fighting back home, exile is the last hand we wanted to play, only if we bury this brutal regime, Hong Kong and its people can then finally be saved.

    At last, we hope that we all remember our heart and spirit, and that one day we can all be reunited again.

    Once again, thank you all and we hope all of you to be safe and sound.

  • 我認為佢哋很搞笑,歷史上一代華裔嘅日子都係這麼熬過來嘅,熬不過來默默離世也有唔少人。

    感覺好似巨嬰,如果呢點個人磨難都無法承受,我嘅觀點係他們做不成任何事。
