【守城血汗未敢忘 往昔烽火照前方 ──中大聯學生會就「中大保衛戰」一週年之聯合聲明｜Never Forgive, Never Forget - CUHK Joint Student Unions Statement for “Siege of CUHK” Commemoration】
(Please scroll down for English version.)
一年前，科大學生周梓樂從高處墮下傷重不治，「黎明行動」一觸即發。十一月十一日，警方闖入中大校園範圍，與校園內的抗爭者對峙，並發射多枚催淚彈、橡膠子彈等，平日寧靜優美的校園頓成戰場。十一月十二日，無數子彈繼續對準學子的胸膛，夏鼎基運動場煙霧彌漫，數以千計的中大人及香港人無懼槍林彈雨，從四方八面趕至中大，共同守衛這座擁抱人文價值的堡壘。連場衝突之中，警方共發射近一千六百枚催淚彈、一千三百發橡膠子彈、四百發布袋彈及一百多發海綿彈。
經此一役，十名抗爭者被控暴動罪，受傷流血者不計其數，甚至連段校長都在毫無預兆的情況下受催淚彈所襲。一年過去，校園內的戰火痕跡已被全然抹去，但我等將永遠不會忘記當天烽火遍地的山城，不會忘記所有曾與中大同學共同進退的香港人，不會忘記每位身負控罪的被捕義士。因為當我們如常生活之際，仍有同學每天活在水深火熱之中，獨自面對十年刑責；仍有同學每天背負永不磨滅的創傷，在無底深淵中苦苦掙扎。「總得有人活下去，記得這一切有多得來不易。」我們懇請各位繼續銘記這段悲痛的歷史，拒絕遺忘，承傳真相。
一年後的今天，我城正步入一個更黑暗、更令人絕望的時代。堅持紀念歷史的學生受盡千夫所指，一校之長要被公然侮辱甚至被要求低頭認錯。在短短一年間，我們所珍愛的城市及校園竟已崩壞至如斯模樣。作為中大人，作為香港人，我們同感彷徨，同感痛心。但我們堅信，當烽火在未來某處再次燃起之時，香港人定必會以一年前守護學子的勇氣及決心，奮力捍衛屬於我們的家園。前路縱然黯淡無光，只要信念不滅，「憑一口氣，點一盞燈」，星星之火終將燎原。
就讓我們帶著歷史傷痛，繼續負重前行。

A year ago, Chow Tsz-lok, a HKUST student, sustained severe injuries from a fall and passed away. His death marked the commencement of Operation Dawn. On 11 November 2019, the police force intruded CUHK premises and confronted the protesters on campus. Shots of tear gas and rubber bullets rained upon our serene campus, transforming it into a chaotic battlefield. On 12 November 2019, innumerable bullets were fired at the chests of our fellow schoolmates; thousands of CUHKers and Hong Kongers rushed to our campus without hesitation and defended our fortress that embraces humanity fearlessly. In a series of clashes, the police fired at least 1600 canisters of tear gas, 1300 rubber bullets, 400 beanbag rounds and 100 sponge-tipped bullets.
The aftermath of the battle was grim: 10 protesters were convicted of rioting in the battle. The university bore witness to countless injuries, not to mention the unexpected attack of its Vice-chancellor Rocky Tuan by tear gas shots from the police force. A year has passed since that fateful battle, and despite all of its wounds have healed, we, along those whom stood with us and the arrested protesters, will forever be scarred by the sight of our campus at war. Though most of us were left unscathed, some of us are still facing trials and prosecution alone; some of us are still being haunted by the physical and psychological trauma; and there remains some of us who are still struggling to survive in the abyss of suffering that devoured them. “We must stay alive to remember and to tell of what has happened.” We urge all of you to remember this sorrowful piece of history. We urge all of you refuse to forget. We urge all of you to inherit the truth.
The future of our city is undoubtedly dark and plagued with despair. Students who insisted on commemoration were blamed; the leader of the university was publicly insulted and demanded to apologize. Within the span of a year, our city and the campus we cherish has decayed to such pandemonium. Being CUHKers and Hong Kongers, it is inevitable for us to feel lost and heart broken. Nevertheless, wherever there is battle in Hong Kong, we do believe that Hong Kongers will defend their homeland with bravery, determination and unwavering faith, just like how they protected our beloved students a year ago. Despite how bleak our path ahead will be, with hope and faith, as the saying in Grandmaster goes “Hold a breath, and light a lamp”, a single spark can start a prairie fire.
We shall stand in solidarity, and march forward with historical wounds on our back.
