宗教團體反對同性伴侶替代框架 記者會後為何君堯祝福祈禱
The Legislative Council will resume the second reading of the Same-Sex Couples Relationship Registration Bill tomorrow. Forty-nine religious groups, including Glory House Church, the Yeshua Love Family Project and the Christian Alliance Family Service Centre, earlier launched a joint petition. The religious groups held a press conference this morning, stating their opposition to the alternative framework for same-sex couples, urging Legislative Council members to vote against it and demanding that the Government withdraw the Bill. After the press conference, former District Court judge Christine Barbara So Han Chan led worshippers and guests in blessing and praying for Legislative Council member Junius Ho: “We bless Legislative Council member Junius Ho. May Heavenly Father always protect you, protect your family, protect you in all your comings and goings, and protect your work. Besides your usual work in the Legislative Council, you also work as a lawyer. Every time you speak on each matter, God will guide what you say from behind the scenes. May every word you say serve the will of God’s glory.”
立法會明日將恢復《同性伴侶關係登記條例草案》二讀，49個宗教團體包括榮耀之家教會、耶書亞愛家工程及基協家庭服務中心等早前發起聯署。宗教團體今早舉行記者會，表明反對同性伴侶替代框架，促立法會議員投反對票，並要求政府撤回草案。在記者會後，前區院法官陳素嫻帶領教徒及嘉賓為議員何君堯祝福祈禱：「我哋祝福何君堯議員，天父時常保護你，保護你家屬，保護你出出入入，保護你工作，你平常不單議會工作，仲係律師嘅工作。每一宗與你發言嘅時間，神會喺背後帶領你講嘢。你每一句說話，為著榮耀神嘅旨意。」

封殺莊梅岩｜演藝校方見學生 「兜路走」避傳媒 與會者引校方指「溝通有問題」、「下指示者已離開」
Veteran playwright Candace Chong earlier criticised the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts for pulling an interview with her and discouraging her from taking a curtain call after a musical performance. She accused the school’s governing council of “holding a magnifying glass” to look for “soft resistance”. The academy has not formally responded to whether it was “blacklisting” Chong. The school sent students a text message yesterday saying that, due to “special circumstances”, senior school officials would “meet and communicate” with them. The governing council chair, the president and others held a closed-door meeting with students this afternoon. Staff repeatedly said they would not respond to the media, and after the meeting the senior officials did not leave through the main entrance, instead taking a “detour” to avoid reporters.
According to students who attended, the school repeatedly said at the meeting that there had been “problems with communication”, effectively acknowledging that Chong’s allegations were true. They also quoted the school as saying that the person who gave the instructions had left the school, describing the whole incident as “a very stupid excuse”, and assuring them that students would be able to perform Chong’s scripts in future. The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts replied to the media by email in the evening, saying that “the relevant departments’ internal communication and handling procedures were indeed not fully完善”, and that it would learn from the experience and review its mechanisms.
資深編劇莊梅岩早前公開批評，演藝學院抽起其訪問、又勸阻她在音樂劇演出後謝幕，批評校董會「拿著放大鏡」找「軟對抗」，校方則一直未有正式回應是否「封殺」莊梅岩；校方昨向學生發短訊，稱因「特殊情況」，學校高層將與學生「會面溝通」。校董會主席、校長等人今午與學生閉門會面，職員多次表示不會回應傳媒，會面結束後，高層未有從正門離開、「兜路走」拒見記者。
綜合與會學生，校方在會上多次重申事件「溝通有問題」，變相承認莊梅岩指控屬實，又引述校方指下指示的人已離開學校，形容「成件事嘅發生係一個好蠢嘅藉口」，又肯定日後學生能演出莊的劇本。演藝學院傍晚以電郵回覆傳媒，指「有關部門在內部溝通及處理流程確有未盡完善之處」，會汲取經驗、檢討機制。

封殺莊梅岩之二｜《奮青樂與路》音樂劇 一度被阻謝幕 演藝校董會增三「撐警」成員
After the Academy was recently revealed to have withdrawn a video interview with veteran playwright Zhuang Meiyan for its anniversary celebrations, she posted again today to disclose that the musical “The Passionate Youth’s Music and Road”, which she wrote, was staged last month. She was once advised by a person in charge not to go on stage for a curtain call after the opening performance. She quoted the person as saying, “I received instructions that I could not let you go on stage for a curtain call,” which she firmly rejected. Zhuang criticised the turnover of the Academy’s board of governors, saying that people were “looking for soft resistance at the Academy with a magnifying glass” and interfering with the musical. She questioned whether “this absurd society not only causes people to lose their rationality, but also their humanity.”
Records show that the Academy’s board of governors has undergone changes since last year, with the Chief Executive, in his capacity as Chancellor, appointing three new members, including a vice-chairman: producer and director Ko Chi-sum, former magistrate Symon Yu Wing Wong, and former Deputy Commissioner of Police Peter Tat Wing Yam. All three have pro-police backgrounds. The Academy replied to enquiries tonight without directly addressing whether it had suppressed Zhuang, saying it thanked her for her contribution to the production. It also said that “the alumna took a curtain call on stage together with other members of the production team that evening”, that her name appeared in the programme, and that the poster design “was intended to place the focus on the students taking part in the performances.”
日前揭演藝抽走校慶訪問的資深舞台劇編劇莊梅岩，今日再發文公開，由她編劇的音樂劇《奮青樂與路》上月公演，她一度被負責人勸阻在開幕表演後上台謝幕，引述對方稱「收到指令，不可以讓我上台謝幕」，遭她嚴詞拒絕。莊批評演藝校董會換屆下，「拿著放大鏡在演藝學院找軟對抗」、干擾音樂劇，質疑「這個荒誕的社會不單令人失去理性，而是失去人性。」
翻查資料，演藝學院校董會去年起換屆，由行政長官任校監委任三名新成員和副主席，包括監製兼導演高志森、前裁判官黃汝榮、前警務處副處長任達榮，三人皆有「撐警」背景。演藝學院晚上回覆查詢，沒直接回應是否封殺莊梅岩，只稱感謝莊梅岩對製作的付出，又指「莊校友當晚有與其他製作團隊成員一同在台上謝幕」、名字有出現於場刊，而海報設計「是希望把焦點放在參與演出的學生身上」。

訪問未能上載小紅書被抽 莊梅岩：荒誕粗暴 演藝：會跟莊校友保持聯繫
Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts alumna and veteran stage playwright Candace Chong Mui-ngam said in an open letter on social media on the 1st that an interview she had been invited to give for the academy’s 40th anniversary celebrations had been “cancelled” without notice. She cited a staff member as saying that the video could not be uploaded to Xiaohongshu, and said she was disappointed and heartbroken that the academy had excluded her for an unsubstantial reason. Chong said she could not tolerate such a “brutal and absurd” approach and asked the academy to respond within three days, including who had made the decision and why the interview had to be “cancelled” because it could not be uploaded to Xiaohongshu. She said the open letter might make her more sensitive and make it harder for her to rent venues, but that she had no regrets about allowing it to “become my epitaph in Hong Kong’s performing-arts career.”
The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts replied to enquiries on the evening of the 1st in fewer than 80 Chinese characters. It did not address why the interview had been pulled or whether this was related to the inability to upload it to Xiaohongshu, saying only that it had always been very grateful for the contributions of all academy members, including alumni. It added: “Alumna Candace Chong has made considerable contributions to the theatre sector. The academy will maintain communication with Chong regarding the relevant matters.”
香港演藝學院校友、資深舞台劇編劇莊梅岩，今（1日）在社交媒體發公開信，公開獲邀慶祝校慶 40 周年的訪問，在無通知下「被取消」，引述職員曾指其影片未能上載到「小紅書」，對校方為虛無的線索剔除她感失望和痛心。莊梅岩說絕不能容忍這種粗暴和荒誕，要求校方在三天內回應，是由何人作此決定、為何不能上載「小紅書」就要「被取消」等，最後指公開信或其令她更敏感、更難租場地，但仍無憾讓信件「成為我在香港演藝生涯的墓誌銘」。
演藝學院 1 日晚上以不足 80 字回覆查詢，未有回應為何抽起訪問、是否與未能上載小紅書有關等，僅稱一直十分感謝學院所有成員包括校友貢獻，並指「莊梅岩校友對戲劇界作出不少貢獻。學院會一直就相關事宜跟莊校友保持聯繫」。

移澳港人辦香港電影展：一班人喺海外一齊笑、一齊喊
Amid the wave of Hong Kong emigration, Hong Kong films have become one way for many overseas Hong Kong people to stay connected with Hong Kong. Australia is a popular destination for Hong Kong emigrants, and a group of Hong Kong people living there organised the Hong Kong Film Festival (Australia). One of the organisers, Ah Si, said the festival was “by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts”—organised by people who enjoy Hong Kong films for audiences who enjoy them too. “It’s a rare opportunity to be overseas, in a cinema, listening to a familiar language with a group of Hong Kong people, watching familiar faces, hearing gags that everyone understands, and laughing and crying together.”
港人移民潮下，香港電影是許多海外港人連結香港的一種方式。澳洲作為港人移民的一個熱門目的地，一群在澳洲居住的港人舉辦了「香港電影節（澳洲）」。搞手之一的阿詩指電影節是「由愛好者，為愛好者」，即由喜歡香港電影的人，為其他同樣喜歡香港電影的觀眾而舉辦，「好難得可以喺海外、喺一個戲院入面，同一班香港人聽住熟悉嘅語言，睇著熟悉嘅面孔，聽一啲大家都明嘅gag，一齊笑、一齊喊。」

《日常運動》法文版8月面世 成出版社首本華文作品 梁莉姿：與有榮焉
The fiction collection 《Daily Exercise》, set against the backdrop of the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement, sold its English- and French-language rights last year. The French translation, 《Jours de révolte》, to be published by Fayard, will be released in August this year. In an earlier interview, Fayard’s editor-in-chief of literature said that 《Daily Exercise》 was one of the publishing house’s key literary releases for the year. It is also the only translated literary work in this year’s literary rentrée season and the first work of Chinese literature ever published by Fayard. When the author, Liang Lizhi, announced the news on social media, she wrote: “Wah, I’m truly overwhelmed and honoured to be part of it.”
In France, autumn is the period when publishers release new books in large numbers each year, and is also known as the season for French literary prizes. In an earlier interview with the magazine Livres Hebdo, Jean-François Dauven, Fayard’s editor-in-chief of literature, said that 《Daily Exercise》 was one of Fayard’s five new books for this year’s literary rentrée season. It will go on sale on 13 August.
以2019年反修例運動為背景的小說集《日常運動》去年售出英、法語版權，其中由出版社Fayard出版的法文譯本《Jours de révolte》將在今年8月面世。Fayard文學部總編輯早前接受訪問時指，《日常運動》是出版社今年發行的重點文學作品之一，並且是該出版社今年「文學開鑼季」（La rentrée littéraire）中唯一的翻譯文學作品，同時是該出版社首次出版華人文學作品。《日常運動》作者梁莉姿在社交媒體撰文公佈消息時表示：「嗚嗚，真的受寵若驚，與有榮焉。」
在法國，每年秋季都是出版社發行新書的集中時期，也被稱為法國的文學獎季。當地雜誌《書報周刊》早前訪問了Fayard文學部總編輯Jean-François Dauven，提到《日常運動》是Fayard在今年度「文學開鑼季」的五本新書之一，將於8月13日上市。
