这座城市,不应有蓝黄之分

这座城市,不应有蓝黄之分

 导读 


正值香港特别行政区成立25周年,《中国日报》香港版推出回归系列特别节目——HKSAR at 25,对话来自不同背景的居港外籍人士,分享他们眼中25岁的特区。本期节目我们邀请了美籍作家及程序员塞尔吉奥-蒙泰罗(Sergio Monteiro),与我们分享自己在香港近三十年的起与落。


美籍作家塞尔吉奥人生中很多的“第一次”都发生在香港这座城市。第一个女朋友,第一次离家出走,第一次打架,与这座城市有关的记忆可以说上几天几夜,他爱这座城市。

然而香港也令他失望了,几个月前他和结婚六年的妻子离婚了,而婚姻的破裂则出人意料地因当年的示威而起。

Sergio spent his formative years in Hong Kong and had many of his "firsts" here. He considers his recent divorce from his wife of six years was a major down. The divorce was unexpectedly caused by the protests rather than any traditional ways. 


在香港度过27年的塞尔吉奥是一名专栏作家,同时也是一名程序员。青少年时,受到周星驰的启发,他慢慢地学会了一些广东话。如今,他的广东话时常会被夸赞十分流利。

Sergio Monteiro, a columnist and software developer, has spent almost 27 years in Hong Kong. As a teenager, Sergio was inspired by Stephen Chow and picked up some Cantonese from reading the subtitles of his movies. Today he often received compliments on his fluency in Cantonese.


1997年香港回归时,他身在香港。当时他21岁,还是一名私人健身教练。回忆起香港回归那天,他记得在他日常接触的外籍人士的社交圈中节日气氛很浓厚,像迎接一场历史性的大派对。大家对回归都很期待。

He was physically in Hong Kong in 1997 when the city was about to return to its motherland as a 21-year-old personal fitness trainer. Looking back on the day of Hong Kong's handover, he remembers a festive atmosphere among the expat communities he was very much in. Everyone was looking forward to it as more of a historic party than anything scary.



成长于外交官家庭的塞尔吉奥自幼了解国际政治的运作方式,因此无法支持他身属“黄营”的前妻的一些政治理念。从一开始他就不认为香港存在蓝黄阵营之分,强行把香港人放进两个对立面中在他看来是荒谬的。

Growing up in a diplomatic family, Sergio understood how international politics work from an early age and could not support some of the political ideas of his ex-wife, who was in the "yellow camp". He never saw Hong Kong as yellow or blue and believed that this was a binary being wrongly imposed on Hong Kong people.



他认为示威绝不是自发产生的,背后有很多金钱交易,且明显有美国参与其中,试图利用年轻人瓦解特区政府,扰乱香港社会。而被蒙在鼓里的一部分香港人并未客观地思考他们所听到的,就这样被利用了。

看到外部势力能够如此迅速地挑拨香港,他选择用“惊愕”一词形容2019年的香港。

He believes the demonstrations were never spontaneous or organic, and there was a lot of money behind them. He clearly sees America was involved, using young people to disrupt the SAR government and Hong Kong society. The very trusting Hong Kong people were thus being used in that way, without giving any critical thinking to what they were hearing.


Seeing how fast outside forces could make Hong Kong turn on itself, he chose the word "scary" to describe Hong Kong in 2019.


在香港居住27年有余的塞尔吉奥将香港视为自己的家,并从未对这座城市失去信心。他坚信五年以后自己仍待会留在这里,见证特区成立30周年。

Having lived in Hong Kong for over 25 years, Sergio considers the city his home and has never lost faith in it. He feels confident that he will still be here five years from now to witness the 30th anniversary of the establishment of HKSAR.
