［過去與未來］（六之三）

國安法第一審唐英傑案，專家證人解釋「光復香港。時代革命」的作供進入了一個新階段。控方專家作供後，辯方向自家邀請的學者提出問題。今天較後時間，代表律政司的主控官向辯方專家學者提出盤問，雙方攻防火花四起，加上法官們的提問，法庭裡關於歷史、學術、法理辯論，討論層面甚廣。

代表律政司的署理刑事檢控專員周天行，在早上較後時間，開始向港大政治及公共行政學系教授李詠怡提問。周天行戴着金屬框眼鏡，右手長期拿着原子筆，在擱在木架上的滿有螢光筆筆跡的文件上做筆記。每問畢一條問題，就會動手在文件上寫一點東西。

港大教授李詠怡(Eliza)這天穿了灰色線衫上衣，在上面加穿黑色西裝外套，她表情不多，語調大部份時間平穩，但有些時候，還是會表現出驚訝的語氣。

法庭是個講究用字精準的地方，然而當周天行以司法常用英語詞彙向社會科學背景的Eliza發問，雙方已經就問題的用詞爭辯起來。

周：「光時口號，梁天琦是創作者(creator)？」Eliza強調， “creator”只適用於聖經形容創造天地的上帝，但漠視了梁天琦參選之前，『光復」二字已經在社會上有人使用，故她認為應稱梁為 “improviser”(有二次創作的意思，或在前人的根基上再創作的含意)。

周：「Does slogans represent political agenda?」(口號是否代背後有政治議程?) Political Agenda可解作一些潛在政治訴求。

Eliza追問：「甚麼叫represent?」周天行於是提出兩個詞語代替represent. “regarded” “considered”. Eliza有點莫名奇妙，她回應道：「口號是口號，政治議程是政治議程，兩件事是不同的。」這個問題最後不了了之。

在重點主題上，雙方糾纏良久。例如有一段，討論到「主權Regime」這個主題。周天行前請Eliza回答香港是否中華人民共和國一部份，Eliza答是。

周專員再追問：「若我問妳，要從中華人民共和國中去光復主權，是否代表必然要推翻政權？(To reclaim the sovereignty from the PRC, does it necessarily mean to overthrow the Regime?)」

三位法官之中兩位，陳嘉信和杜麗冰均追問周專員:「那一個政權(Which Regime)？」周專員垂頭找文件約六秒，再說：「香港的政權。」

Eliza回答道：「這條問題很混淆，香港從來都不是獨立國家，何來主權？又何以光復？而且Regime在政治學上不只解作政體，也可用在經濟或貿易概念上。你問的『光復香港主權』和『推翻香港政權』是兩回事，我不知道怎樣把兩者放一起。」

周專員用十二秒再找筆記，改為問，即是把香港從中華人民共和國分割出來。Eliza回答：「『推翻政權』又和『分裂香港出來』是兩回事。香港從來都不是主權國，怎樣去恢復其主權呢？實在有點荒謬（absurd）.」

Eliza說：「我有點被混淆，這裡有不一致之處。『光復』是關於『過去』，想回到一個舊的狀態；而『港獨』是『未來式』，我不知道如何把兩者放在一起。」

周再指，若說話的人從來不接受香港是中國一部份呢？Eliza指：「這裡要涉及太多假設，才達致你所說的總結，對我來說 doesn’t make sense。」

過去，將來，今天的審訊，又再把法庭變成時光機，從1360年的元朝，再拉到近代中國史的文革，再提及到香港殖民地時代，再回到近年香港社會運動的脈絡。

上周五，辯方報告裡提及元順帝因為想花費修建皇宮，被臣子勸阻，稱要「光復祖宗之業」，Eliza指，元順帝說此話時仍在帝位，故認為「光復」不一定涉及推翻政權。

周專員今天追問Eliza，知否元順帝說這話的背景，正是元朝「紅巾軍」把蒙古皇宮燒毁，元順帝覺得失去了「上都」（今內蒙古多倫西北，其中一個首都）感到羞辱，故「光復」是涉及祖宗國土之爭。

Eliza則認為，陳祖仁作為臣子寫此段文字，一直讀下去，並不是談及實質國土的失去，「業、大業、功業，不只是關於國土和政權，而是古時皇帝與皇朝如何看待皇帝正當性，就是作為天道承繼者，那個授權不只是談及土地，而是那個皇帝做了甚麼事跡。」Eliza說，她看了整篇古典，認為很清楚文中不「只是」談國土喪失。

然而，周專員曾經挑戰Eliza對中國歷史的理解。Eliza說，她在中學有讀中史科，但在大學副修世界歷史。周專員堅持要問：「妳有無正統的中國歷史訓練。」

Eliza反駁：「如果你想說，我只有中三程度的中史學識，我不會同意你的說法。作為學者，特別是研究香港政治的學者，我們常要去參考中國歷史，因為香港很多的發展和中史有緊密關連。我懂得看寫中文亦會讀文言文，作為學者我有能力去理解中史。」

周堅持要問：「我問正統的中史訓練。」Eliza如此回應：「如果你硬要這樣問（If that’s how you like to put it.）我沒有教過中國歷史科，我博士研究也不是中國歷史，你可以說我『正規中史訓練是到中三』」。

而作為控方專家的嶺大歷史系教授劉智鵬，今天打了紫藍色的間條領呔，整天坐在控方律師後，聽到他同意的觀點，有幾次認同地點頭。

劉智鵬曾經在他的報告中提及「革命」可以參考「文化大革命」之使用，是「文革」與「政治層面」有關聯的例證。然而Eliza卻反駁，「文化大革命不涉及政權更替，中華人民共和國沒有被推翻或被取代。」

專員此時拿出一份來自中華人民共和國中央人民政府官方網站的文件。文件名為《關於建國以來黨的若干歷史問題的決議》，文件於1981年公佈，為內地官方對文革定性的文件。

周專員把文件較後幾處，談及文革三個階段節錄，以英語讀出。文件內容節錄為：「林彪、江青、康生、張春橋等人主要利用所謂『中央文革小組』名義乘機煽動『打倒一切、全面內戰』；林彪反革命集團陰謀奪取最高權力、策動反革命武裝變的事件。這是『文化大革命』推翻黨的一系列基本原則的結果，客觀上宣告了『文革』理論的實踐的失敗。毛澤東、周恩來同志機智地粉碎了這次叛變。」

周專員繼續以英語朗讀：「在發現江青等人借機進行篡權活動以後，對他們作了嚴厲批評，宣佈他們是『四人幫』；1976年毛澤東同志逝世，江青反革命集團加緊奪取黨和國家最高領導權的陰謀活動。十月上旬，中央政治局執行黨和人民的意志，毅然粉碎了江青反革命集團，結束了『文革』這場災難。」

「煽動」、「內戰」、「奪取最高權力」、「叛變」、「篡權」等英文翻譯，由周專員讀了出來，在香港高等法院的一庭空氣中飄揚。

周專員讀畢，問，這份文件，與如何理解「革命」這詞，有關聯嗎？

Eliza深呼吸了一口氣，慢慢回答：「你知道關於『文革』這課題，曾經有多少人出版了多少本專門的書籍，有多少人研究過？我認為要小心使用這資料。」

周追問下去：「這份資料有相關性嗎？」糾纏一會，Eliza答，「我不會改變我原來的看法（關於文革不是關於政權更替）。周再追問下去：「那妳認為文件那一部份不合乎事實或不準確？」

此時，法官彭寶琴插嘴：「周先生，你要再修正你的問題。」法官杜麗冰接下去：「李教授（即Eliza）沒機會從頭到尾看全份文件，她怎回答你？」彭寶琴再說：「她這方面的意見也不太有相關性。」關於文革的討論，就此打住。

另一個有火花的議題，就是關於在光復社區示威中，有示威者拿着殖民時代的港英旗揮舞。Eliza指出，她沒有訪問過拿旗的人，不能知道每個人心裡想甚麼，但以她的閱讀（decoding），揮旗的人對香港2010年初的狀態不太滿意，想把香港恢復到以前的社會秩序。

杜麗冰法官追問：「回到殖民時期統治？」Eliza回應：「或許是那種生活方式。」杜官接着問：「那是一樣的（統治和生活方式），想回到殖民地的生活，和回到英屬殖民地是一樣的。」

Eliza說，她不同意。「我猜測，人們對殖民地時代一些東西懷念，或許是經濟結構，文化符號，我不知道。例如1997年7月1日，香港由殖民地變成香港特區，在社會、文化、經濟上，不是突然產生巨變。」

Eliza以社科學者概念再重申：「想回復英治殖民地，和香港獨立是兩個不能共容的概念。」

陳官追問：「恢復殖民地不是必然從中華人民共和國分割出來嗎？」劉智鵬專家此時在座上點頭。陳官再說，即使他同意Eliza所說，但邏輯上不是不通嗎？

Eliza再表示：「在狹義上及技術上可以說是，但法理上甚麼是分離主義，並不是我的專長範圍。我會問，香港要回到殖民統治，現實上可能性是零，故此我認為，揮旗者是要表達他們對現況的不滿。」

三位法官，此時先後兩次把座椅退後商議。陳官表示他要「收回『同意李教授』言論的說話，而且這句話，亦不代表我們三名法官的看法。」然而不久，三官表示要休庭20分鐘。休庭後，陳官澄清他對Eliza證供的理解，並請她再詳細解釋。

Eliza表示：「這裡涉及三件事。一。殖民地時代的生活方式；二。殖民時代的政體；三。追求港獨。而我認為，二。和三。基本上有矛盾。」意思是，兩個訴求是不能同時並行的。

Eliza亦補充，控方專家劉教授曾指「香港自治運動」是「港獨運動」，她想澄清，「以我所知，香港自治運動是受到曾任嶺大助理教授的陳雲著作《香港城邦論》啟發，陳雲一度為該組織做過advisor，後來離開了，但他們不是追求港獨，而是追求保護香港的政治、經濟、文化，支持『一國兩制』框架和原則，追求高度自治，只是覺得一國兩制實踐起來不及他們期望。」

盤問到了最後，周天行專員花了長時間，追問在光復行動中，一些示威者拿着或喊過的口號，例如「驅逐支那罪犯」「大陸人番大陸」等。周專員指，示威活動中，明顯有「反中共」及「支持港獨」成份，問Eliza是否認同「光復」二字意思，要參考這些「客觀事實」。

Eliza說：「我要強調，這些活動中的確出現了很敵意的行為，對內地遊客和水貨客，而水貨客亦不只有內地人，也有香港人從事水貨活動。示威裡，有語言暴力(verbally abusive)，很強敵意(very hostile)，我認為這些口號很不恰當，富侮辱性，甚至涉及歧視(racist)。」

Eliza指，但示威遊行裡，參加的人多樣。她舉例七一遊行，每年遊行有不同訴求的人在其中，包括性工作者，性小眾，宗教團體，甚至乎外傭，示威者之間的訴求不必然一樣，甚至可以有矛盾。故此，她堅持認為，社區的光復行動，主要訴求是關於公共空間秩序問題。

陳官追問，照片裡有人舉起「恢復英港。建立港人政府」口號，如何解讀？

Eliza答：「字面可解作『恢復英治時代香港』，但我們要問，這句不夠具體，『港人政府』究竟是指，『香港人由香港人去領導』(government led by Hong Kong people)，還是『香港人的政府』（government of the HK people）？」

Eliza說：「如此這般，表達意思不明。而很多示威者都有點『詞不達意』(not coherent), 他們也不太清楚自己想要甚麼，但他們憤懣很大，就弄一點東西出來表達一下。」

周專員沒有放棄去追問，為何光復社區的示威者要舉港英旗幟。他問Eliza：「妳說示威者有不滿，所以去舉旗。但他們為何一定要舉旗，他們可以找渠道去投訴呀，例如向立法會議員申訴。」此時，旁聽席爆出笑聲。

Eliza再解釋：「示威的作用，就是向政府發放訊息，表達民間訴求，他們為何不向立法會議員求助，我不知道。」

經過了2019年和2020年，香港的街道，示威活動幾近絕跡；而立法會選舉，民主派議員亦在DQ潮下集體請辭，多個議員相継被控及入獄，而立法會選舉辦法亦大幅修改，按中央及港府宣傳，這是「完善選舉制度」。明天李詠怡教授會繼續作供。

轉載 @美國在台協會 AIT 貼文

📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點，我也即將離開台灣，我想藉這個機會和大家分享，這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸，也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想，這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉，就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說，從那時起，台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情，也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物，像是水餃和臭豆腐，並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面，我努力用我粗淺的中文，讓別人聽懂我說的話；但同時我也發現，無論走到哪裡，迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此，在成為美國外交官後，能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站，真是再適合不過了。畢竟，是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣，也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後，我也曾派駐其他地點，多數是在大中華區域，但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡，可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然，我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結，或者也叫作「緣分」吧，才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我，為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得：「答案不是很明顯嗎？」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度，解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情，我通常會提到以下幾個領域：
首先，台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡，我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟，經濟益加蓬勃，環境保護更受關注，藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿，但與此同時，台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好，台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣，最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護；年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧，接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者，對美國來說，台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟，科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值，時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式，為解決全球問題做出貢獻，這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民，也是因為我們相信，身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴，就是該這麼做。
最後，每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係，我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意，他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係，比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的，當我向AIT告別的那一天，我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感，因為我知道，美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健，我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻，而深感驕傲。
但是，比起這些事情，我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節，還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音，還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香，這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得，是各位台灣朋友們，你們以各種不同的方式，讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此，我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣，但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "
-- AIT Director William Brent Christensen

I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.

I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "

-- AIT Director William Brent Christensen

【完整翻譯】Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow - Industry Baby

Baby back, couple racksCouple Grammys on him, couple plaquesThat's a fact, throw it backThrow it back
我回來了 帶著滿架子的獎牌
葛萊美拿了好幾座 白金唱片得了一堆
這一切鐵證如山
所以趕快轉過去熱舞來討好我
And this one is for the championsI ain't lost since I beganFunny how you said it was the endThen I went did it again
這是獻給稱霸的冠軍
踏上路以來 我從來就未曾迷失
你不覺得好笑嗎？ 酸民說我玩完了
但我回來了 又大獲全勝

I told you long ago on the roadI got what they waiting for
I don't run from nothing, dogGet your soldiers, tell 'em I ain't layin' low
早在那條老街上 我就說了吧
我有大家引頸期盼的東西
我可不會隨便逃跑
所以告訴你的大軍 我沒有要低調引退的意思
You was never really rooting for me anywayWhen I'm back up at the top, I wanna hear you sayHe don't run from nothin', dogGet your soldiers, tell 'em that the break is over
反正你也從來沒喜歡過我
當我重返榮耀 我要聽到你說
「他不會輕易離場」
所以集結你的大軍 告訴他們休息時間結束了

Need to get this album doneNeed a couple number onеsNeed a plaque on every song
Need mе like one with Nicki now
我得把這張專輯完成
我得再拿下幾座冠軍
我要每一首歌都有白金獎牌
我要和Nicki一起站上高峰
Tell a rap nigga I don't see yaI'm a pop nigga like Bieber
I don't fuck bitches, I'm queer
But these niggas bitches like Madea
告訴嘻哈饒舌仔 我眼裡根本沒有你
我就像小賈斯汀一樣 流行到爆
妹子？我沒興趣 我是酷兒
你們這些酸民就像個老媽子一樣

let's do it
I ain't fall off, I just ain't release my new shit
I blew up, now everybody tryna sue me
You call me Nas, but the hood call me Doobie
開工吧
我沒有跌落神壇 我只是新歌還沒發
我一夕爆紅 現在每個人都想告我
你們叫我Nas 但我家鄉的人叫我Doobie

[Jack Harlow]
My track record so clean, they couldn't wait to just bash meI must be gettin' too flashy, y'all shouldn't have let the world gas me
我沒拿什麼獎 他們等不及就說我沒實力
我肯定是太招搖了 你們不該讓全世界噴爆我
It's too late 'cause I'm here to stay and these girls know that I'm nastyI sent her back to her boyfriend with my handprint on her ass cheek
太遲了 因為老子我已經要在這裡待下
妹子們都愛我
讓我在她的翹臀上留下紅紅的掌印
再回去找她男朋友

City talkin', we takin' notesTell 'em all to keep makin' postsWish he could, but he can't get close
OG so proud of me that he chokin' up while he makin' toasts
I'm the type that you can't control, said I would, then I made it so
謠言四起 我們做著筆記
告訴大家繼續po文吧
他只是羨慕 但他永遠趕不上我
嘻哈大老們為我驕傲 他敬酒的時候還在哽咽
我完全不受控 我就是說到做到

I don't clear up rumors, where's y'all sense of humor?
I'm done makin' jokes 'cause they got old like baby boomers
Turned my haters to consumers, I make vets feel like they juniors
Say your time is comin' soon, but just like Oklahoma
我從來沒在闢謠的 你們難道都沒幽默感嗎
我也不想在開玩笑了 不然怎麼講都是老梗
把我的酸民變粉絲 讓老兵變年輕
你說你的時代已經要來了
Mine is comin' sooner, I'm just a late bloomerI didn't peak in high school, I'm still out here gettin' cuter
All these social networks and computersGot these pussies walkin' 'round like they ain't losers
但我的時代來的更快 我是大器晚成
我在高中不受歡迎 但現在我越來越討喜
這些鍵盤戰士 總是故意說著妹子怎樣 顯得自己比較不魯

繼 2018 年金音獎入圍的《炮打司令部》後，中文嘻哈界絕無僅有的共產主義饒舌歌手鍾翔宇與英國製作人 Ransom-Notes 馬不停蹄地聯手炮製出六首歌的新專輯《星星之火》，相較於上張專輯還有如〈保力達B〉、〈偶像的手冊〉等比較詼諧幽默的歌曲，這張專輯顯得更加嚴肅而深入的闡述自己的意識形態。

即使如此，這張專輯並沒有流於自我重複的說教，而是透過自己在美國成長過程親眼目睹的（台灣媒體跟好萊塢電影不告訴你的）具體事實，鍾翔宇戳破所謂的「美國夢」，一層一層爬梳嘻哈音樂如何失去最初的反抗精神、分析爭取勞動權益的困境甚至環保議題。很難想像這麼龐大的知識量被鍾翔宇精巧的放在一張不到 20 分鐘的專輯當中，這樣大膽的嘗試絕對值得你靜下心搭配歌詞細細玩味。搭配 Ransom-Notes 充滿黃金年代風格的編曲，讓嚴肅的歌詞不再難以下嚥。而鍾翔宇精心設計的多韻和不時的好笑 punchline，也展現他想讓歌曲直面普羅大眾的誠意。

批判美國的霸權和當今的社會經濟制度等於動搖了非常多人的基本信念，鍾翔宇也深知這一點。然而看到不公不義的事實而站出來發聲，這是讓鍾翔宇之所以愛上嘻哈的浪漫初衷。《星星之火》這張專輯就如同他的偶像，英國嘻哈詩人 Lowkey 的 “Soundtrack to the Struggle” 一樣，是貨真價實的革命之聲，所有真心想衝破世界當今所面對的困境的人，肯定能從鍾翔宇的音樂中得到啟發。


Shortly after his 2018 album "Bombard the Headquarters" was nominated best hip hop album by the Golden Indie Music Awards, Xiangyu, one of the few openly communist rappers in the Sinosphere, together with his comrade Ransom-Notes from the UK, began working on "a Single Spark." In comparison to his previous album, which contains comedic songs like "Paolyta B" and "the Idol's Handbook," "a Single Spark" takes on a more serious tone and delves deeper into Xiangyu's ideology.

Despite the comparatively somber tone, this new album avoids repetitive preaching. Through sharing his personal experiences and the things he saw growing up in the United States, Xiangyu debunks the so-called "American Dream." Using materialist dialectics, he tells us how hip hop has lost its rebellious essence, and also analyzes power dynamics and touches on topics such as the environment. It is difficult to imagine how Xiangyu and Ransom-Notes were able to condense such a vast expanse of knowledge into an album less than 20 minutes in length. You will not be disappointed should you decide to sit down and listen to such a bold album while studying the lyrics. Reminiscent of hip hop's golden age, Ransom-Notes' beatmaking provides the listener with the sugar that makes the pill easier to swallow. Xiangyu's carefully constructed rhymes and the occasional humorous punch line demonstrate his sincere attempt to make his agitprop more accessible to the layperson.

Criticizing US hegemony and the socioeconomic order of today is tantamount to shattering the fundamental beliefs of many, and Xiangyu is acutely aware of this. The fact that hip hop can serve as a platform for pointing out injustices is what attracted Xiangyu to the genre in the first place. "A Single Spark" is similar to "Soundtrack to the Struggle" by Lowkey, one of Xiangyu's influences, in the sense that it is truly revolutionary in content. Those who genuinely seek to transform the predicaments plaguing our world today will certainly find inspiration in Xiangyu's music.

The game is set in the luscious north pole hemisphere deep within Santa's workshop and village, you your self are an elf that has been awakened from a deep cryogenic sleep, however what exactly have you awakened to?

In a build up to dramatic events, we have implemented a fully operational Wave Boss system in which you will need to fight off against wave after wave of enemies with the little resources you have.
