【成立騎士橋出版社| Founding the Knightsbridge Publications】
大家好。開這個專頁的目的當然不是為了要競選或者作個人崇拜之類，而是為了達成我所成立的騎士橋出版社的目的：分享關於香港、台灣以及中國的資訊給自由世界的人們。
說到目的，就不得不講一下成立騎士橋出版社的原因以及背景。
之所以成立出版社，主要是因為在亞非學院修讀碩士的這段時間以來，我發覺生活在西方自由社會的人們對於中國、香港以及台灣的認識相當匱乏。他們當然不是缺乏資訊，而是他們所接收到的資訊，尤其是關於中國的，是非常片面而且偏頗，往往是從官方的視角出發。對香港以及台灣的認識亦然，西方人士往往對她們的歷史背景無深入認識，致令他們對於香港、台灣以及中國問題的看法與我們普遍主流的看法繞有落差。也有些人，因為內心深處強烈的反美反帝傾向，所以他們的就好似鐘擺一樣，盪去了另一邊，對於遙遠的中國有種另類的幻想。
如此種種，加上每每念及因為當年基辛格的誤判導致全球人類集體炒車的事，就會心有戚戚，希望可以避免將來同類事件。如是者，推動關於香港、台灣以及中國的知識傳播的願景就越發強烈。於是在完成學期末的功課時，我就在英國登記成為自僱人士，並將業務取名為騎士橋出版社，希望可以推動這一方面的工作。
取名騎士橋出版社的原因有二。第一是因為我之前住附近。哈哈，在英國唸書時，有時候會散散步，坐坐公園。走著走著，就會走到騎士橋。第一次見到這個地方，是我第一次踏足英國的時候。當時是2017年，內心非常不安。可是當我2018年重新踏足這裡，心中的不安全然退去，只剩下對於自由的渴望。因此，騎士橋或甚至英國，可以算是對我意義重大的地方。
第二是因為騎士橋和香港島是香港貴族鄧蓮如女男爵的封地，而鄧男爵曾經服務的太古洋行、港英行政局和立法局又與香港息息相關，因此就選擇了騎士橋作為出版社的名稱。
因此，如果你認同我的願景，請Like這個專頁，追蹤我的Twiiter以及在以下的網址留下你的電郵，以便定期接收有關港、台、中三地的資訊。
Hi folks, this is Billy Fung. The reason for establishing this Facebook/ Twitter Page is definitely by no means for any forthcoming electoral campaign and personality cult. This page serves as a platform to share academic articles and other information pertaining to Hong Kong, Taiwan and People’s Republic of China (China hereafter) bilingually to the free world. And this is also the rationale behind the establishment of Knightsbridge Publications - to disillusion people living in the free world from the Chinese official rhetoric, which may be empty, biased and incomprehensible in understanding China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
I feel obliged to share knowledge about the states in the greater China region due to my experience at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. During my study in UK, I came to realise that the masses are generally lacking understanding in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. The reasons are manifold and amongst them, I reckon that insufficient source of information is the primary one.
Since some of them heavily rely on state media in China, ranging from New China News Agency to CCTV, they may not be able to know the truth. As suggested by Sir Alexander Grantham in 1949* (Hong Kong’s Governor 1947-1957), these media are simply the “publicity organs of the party”. Besides, some of them may also have difficulties in accessing the non-English sources. Therefore, I would like to fill up such vacuum and offer the public with relevant information academically and accurately.
Afterall, understanding Hong Kong, Taiwan and China is vitally important nowadays as we should categorically avoid repeating the same old disastrous misjudgment made by our predecessors in the last century.
Lastly, please support this project by following my pages on Facebook and Twitter and subscribe the newsletter from Knightsbridge Publications. Cheers.
