一位市民致全港校長的公開信
《培養積極正面的公民還是反政府的負面學生》
各位校長:
香港政制改革正面臨一個分水嶺。香港政制改革要向前走,還是要原地踏步,關係到我們的下一代,我不得不在這裡向你們呼吁,讓我們的孩子可以在2017年見到一人一票選特首,2020年一人一票選議員,實現香港人的百年夢想。
現在有些激進份子恐嚇說,不按照他們的激進意見,他們就要讓政制無法向前走。我們對這種態度非常反感。這批人先是吶喊起義,要推翻基本法,再者不惜浪費公帑,搞一次假辭職補選的全民公投。結果沉默的大多數,無人跟他們去起義送死,也沒有人跟他們和中央決裂,為違法的公投當陪葬品。香港82.9%的選民向少數的激進派說不。這提升了香港的正氣,讓我們給下一代看到年長一代的選民為他們樹立了榜樣,給未來的香港帶來了希望。
其實,我們都是來自社會草根階層的市民,我們只希望能過上平和而有尊嚴的生活。我們希望我們的孩子都能成為善良而樂於助人的公民。我們希望他們長大後既能自力更生,又能以他們的知識和經驗為社會服務和幫助弱勢社群。我們把孩子送到學校,就是把孩子托付給你們,讓他們在你們精心的培育下,成為對社會有用的人。我們也希望有些優秀的孩子能加入政府,為市民服務,讓社會資源能合理、明智地使用,惠及全體市民。市民對學校和校長的期望是真誠的。
現在社會上有一批人喜歡鼓勵年青人反政府,把他們吹捧成是社會的希望。他們無禮、口出狂言、目中無人。有些還在某些議員的力撐下,像黑社會一樣不請自來,到處「踩場」。他們最喜歡借民主自由之名,來妨礙別人的民主自由的權利。有些議員還喜歡把自己打扮成民主女神、弱勢社群的守護神,把社會所有不公之事都推給政府,把政府說得一無是處,好像只有自己才是社會公義的超人。他們就是以這種策略來騙取市民的選票。他們貪天之功,把廣大社會工作者和政府為弱勢社群所做的服務都據為己有。我們希望校長要幫助學生獨立思考,透過現象看本質,達到具明辨是非能力。
有些年青人以惡言相向不同政見者、把包圍政府、沖擊中聯辦,視為英雄行為。他們聽信某些社會人士,以反政府,反中央為榮。這些被誤導的年青人,有如在玩火。他們不知道以民主之名來妨礙別人民主自由的權利是違法的;包圍政府和沖擊中聯辦是非法的行為。他們對政府克制寬容的取態,以為是軟弱可欺。那些把年青人送上歧途的議員和人士,把這些行為以「公民抗命」加以美化,實在非常危險。違法者遲早要受到法律的制裁。我們希望孩子能在英明的校長的指導下,遠離愚昧,找到自己光明之路。
香港回歸祖國己有十三年了。有一批人對中國在香港行使主權內心不是味道,有人對共產黨收回香港更是心懷忿恨。他們要選出他們的代理人來管治香港。他們一開始的策略就是通過把政府和共產黨說得一無是處,把自己裝扮成民主女神、弱勢社群的守護神,讓自己騙到選票,達到奪權的目的。其實社會的不公是客觀存在的,無論那一個社會,在什麼時候都會有這樣那樣不公的事發生。政府和執政黨都會在不同時候,制訂政策加以抑制。他們把這些說成是政府和共產黨造成的,就是以妖魔化別人來美化自己。學校應讓學生學會分析社會現象,從歷史的經驗來教會學生選擇正確的對策。
有些議員喜歡動軋人是「共產黨走狗」,他們不知道其實中國很多最優秀的人都是共產黨員。共產黨為了民族的前途,國家的繁榮,把最優秀的人,從小學、中學和大學就開始培養。中國很多優秀的科學家、教授和專家都是共產黨員,就是這個原因。我們不妨看看,中國除了共產黨以外,有誰能把中國帶上民族復興之路,以三十年持續的經濟增長讓世界驚嘆。我們這批共產黨的議員,那一個有此雄才大略,能帶領國人走一條強國之路,在世界和平崛起?這批議員,引導我們的年青人去反政府,反共產黨,對香港、對國家、對民族有什麼好處?我們到底要培養我們的學生去做一個反政府、反共的人還是做一個服務社會,服務國民的公民,難道這不是我們校長的責任嗎?
這些人反對中國對香港行使主權,反對共產黨,要推翻基本法,無視中國是香港的主權國,無視共產黨是中國的執政黨。他們這種行徑實際是死路一條。基本法是香港的憲法,是香港賴以存在的依據。沒有基本法,就沒有一國兩制。沒有基本法就沒有民主。不遵守基本法就沒有資格談民主。中國一開始就讓香港人自己選特首,2017年還要讓全港選民一人一票選特首。我們那些沒理性的議員和他們的選民,為了他們那班人的政治目的,要阻撓香港政制向前發展,無視82.9%選民的訴求,企圖靠惡來蛇吞象,以少勝多,達到奪權的目的。他們不遵守基本法,不和相關組別人士協商,妖魔化功能組別,無視社會均衡參政的訴求,要單方面取消功能組別。這種連中央都沒有的權力,這些人那來的那麼大權力?這些人這種霸道的行為,是我們的學生要學習的榜樣嗎?
世界上沒有一個社會是完美的,也不會每一個人都是聖人。那一個時代都需要進步和改革,我們應以發展的眼光來看世界。政府和國家都在為民主自由而奮鬥。那些別有用心的人把自己美化成是爭取民主的鬥士,把政府和國家說成是民主的敵人。他們向年青人發出的信息就是反政府,推翻基本法和奪權。奪權意味著什麼?奪權意味著動盪、起義、流血。作為家長,我們不希望香港再來一次政權的更迭,讓我們孩子的血來換另一個野心家來做我們的統治者。時代己經不同了。這是一個服務的年代,講貢獻的年代,我們希望我們的孩子愉快的生活著,為國家和人民做自己力所能及的貢獻。我們絕不希望我們的孩子成為反政府的叛逆者與國家為敵。我們的校長和學校要想想,如何來教育我們的孩子,做一個負責任的公民。

A Reply to a citizen not happy with our government:
Thanks for taking time in enlightening me with your view. Actually, all of us are ordinary grass root people of HK. We want our life to be calm and peaceful with a little dignity in leading a simple life. We would like our children in positively live in this city and help the less fortunate with the education and knowledge they gain from our support and good will to the society. Hong Kong need more enthusiastic people in rendering service to their fellow people living here, rather than someone act radically in opposing the government. After all, government is here in taking helm of managing the city. We need this social structure in properly manage the city. We can propose and try to help with our ability but not the other way round. No society is perfect and not all men are saints. So, what we advocate is a rational act in helping the government and lead them into the proper direction of serving our citizen. After all, we have paid for the service and we have to best use of our investment for our city. In leading our children walk on a track of opposing government and demand something that the society is not ready for will be a disaster for HK. The final conclusion will be uprising and overthrowing of a government. This will be a great social cost and bloodshed with unrest and uncertainty. My recommendation is everyone need to add value to society by doing something conducive to help our children grow positively and do whatever we can help in helping others.
Social welfare is what our society need to do in helping the less fortunate. The resources have to be distributed evenly and wisely among the enormous demand from every sector. We have to consider and take a balanced position with the limited resource. People may hold different view but can voice the society need for consideration until the time is ripe for it. So, no matter which sector of people come from they have to think about their representation as well as the priority of the immediate needs of our society. We have to take an attitude with more understanding to the government official with the scarce resource in their hand. Meanwhile, we have to encourage our children who would like to be a public servant in joining the government team in serving HK for its prosperity. We need more bright and hearty young generation in joining the government in serving HK. We hope we are not going to raise a generation of anti-government kids in breaking rules and laws but positive citizens in helping HK grow with its resident.
I do not have much direct contact with any of the LegCo members. But I know they are working for HK one way or the other. I am not prompt to say they are evil in a certain act in the distribution of benefit of the sectors. Their decision may have their reasons. You should learn more of their reasons behind rather than just jump to the conclusion if they are of different view. I disagree only to some of them in opposing the government in a way which is not acceptable to the people of HK of my kind and I firmly believe the majority of HK citizen do not want HK to be in Chaos. We must have HK rule under the basic law which is the only lawful rule set for HK during the transition of power. To overthrow the law might mean the transition of power to another regime which will surely cost blood and erupt the stability of social order. I know there are people who do not wish to have China taking back the sovereignty from British, some do not want communist rule over Hong Kong. It is still a minority though with a few hundred thousand among 7 million population. Like it or not, HK is a part of China now and communist is the ruling party of China. The party is the most capable in China in leading its people into the world arena with its great development in all fields. No other party in China has such ability and I believe none has such a great mind and capability in HK in taking China to become a strong nation in the world as communist is practicing. Uprising against China and Communist in HK will sooner or later provoke another 6.4 tragedy of China. As a Chinese living in HK, I do not want one for us here and I denounce the act of some of HK resident provoking one under the name of Goddess of Democracy or a Guardian Angel of the Poor. We believe our government are promoting democracy as well as taking care of the less privileged. To be up against our government is pointless and meaningless. We know all acts are cheating the majority silence who want a peaceful life. This will not help us support them in taking over the rule from China and let them be our ruler.
There are equal number of radical left and radical right in HK. All they added up is still the minority. They are equally brave and daring. What is the use of provoking them to fight against each other. We the law abiding citizen is still the majority. We prefer to live in HK under the basic law for 50 years as one country 2 system which is only 37 years left behind us. My children will be living in HK under one country one system by that time. I want my children to live a happy life with the service he can to his country. I don't want him to be an anti-government kid in provoking blood in changing regime to another ambitious politician. This is not an age of revolution in changing governments, we have freedom and we have democracy under the basic law. If we raise our kids to overthrow the Basic Law of HK, we will have nothing except a smashed potato. People will say they will die for freedom and democracy, yet they do not know that democracy and freedom cannot get into the way of other people's democracy or right and freedom. If they did, they will actually become a law breaker. They will surely be punished one way or the other.
This is an age of service, an age for contribution, not an age of revolution of changing governments. If we lead our children into anti-government attitude, we are leading them into a dead end. Let us work for the prosperity of HK with a positive attitude and a broader mind. Best regards.
