教育局向大專院校施壓阻學者赴台出席中研院香港研討會 《教育刺針》：局方一劍封喉
Pulse HK reported last week that a political commentary article in Eastweek had pressured Hong Kong scholars by “calling on” them to decisively refuse to attend an international conference on Hong Kong to be held by Taiwan’s Academia Sinica in early December. The education news platform Education Sting received a tip alleging that the Hong Kong Education Bureau had also actively intervened by contacting tertiary institutions to prevent local scholars from travelling to the conference. Hans Yeung Wing-yu, the platform’s founder, said the Education Bureau’s “open and explicit” intervention this time amounted to “a fatal blow”, signalling that similar incidents must not happen again and that academic freedom would decline further.
Academia Sinica’s Hong Kong Studies group will hold the third “Hong Kong Studies Going Global” international conference on 4 and 5 December. In a post yesterday (28th), Education Sting said it had received exclusive and reliable information that the Education Bureau had contacted local tertiary institutions and directly pressured Hong Kong-based scholars who had already registered to attend, in an effort to stop them from going to the conference.
Hong Kong’s eight publicly funded universities have traditionally been regulated and funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC). However, Education Sting quoted a source as saying that the Education Bureau had taken the initiative this time and, after obtaining information including the participating scholars and their paper topics, directly pressured the institutions. According to Pulse HK, at least five scholars from Hong Kong are scheduled to present papers, including Ma Ngok of The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
《追光者》上周曾報道，《東周刊》有政論文章向香港學者施壓「呼籲」要果斷拒絕出席台灣中央研究院（中研院）將於12月初舉辦的香港相關國際研討會。教育新聞平台《教育刺針》收到爆料，指香港教育局亦積極干預，聯繫大專院校阻止本港學者前往。《教育刺針》創辦人楊穎宇認為，這次教育局「開宗明義」出手算是「一劍封喉」，代表不可再發生類似事件，亦意味學術自由會進一步下降。
台灣中研院「香港研究」小組，將於12月4至5日舉行第三屆「香港研究走向全球」國際研討會，《教育刺針》昨（28日）發文稱獲得獨家可靠消息，教育局聯繫本地大專院校，直接向已報名參加會議的在港學者施壓，阻止他們出席會議。
香港八間資助大學一向都是由大學教育資助委員會（UGC）規管及撥款。不過，《教育刺針》引述報料人透露，教育局今次主動出手，在掌握有關出席學者及論文題目等資訊後，直接向院校施壓。據《追光者》了解，來自香港並將會發表論文的學者至少有5位，包括中文大學的馬嶽。

「手語哥哥」黃耀邦專訪｜港表演被迫取消 台灣演出堅持追夢
How can someone who cannot hear dance? On stage, Wong Yiu-bong leads dancers with physical disabilities as they move to the music. He dances out passion, as well as sadness and frustration, while wheelchair users, amputee dancers and hard-of-hearing dancers all shine on stage. Wong has performed “Glory to Hong Kong” in sign language and served as a sign-language interpreter at the “Civilian Press Conference”. A theatre production he was scheduled to perform in last year was cancelled by the organiser. He said frankly that he had done nothing wrong and did not know why he had been targeted. He said he interpreted because he wanted to contribute to society and fight for equal access to information for deaf people. After failing to find a performance venue in Hong Kong, he moved the performance to Taipei last weekend, saying: “I will persist in doing what I want to do and will not give up.”
“Sign-language Brother” Wong Yiu-bong founded Hong Kong’s first deaf dance troupe, the Forest Joy Deaf Dance Troupe, 15 years ago. He is devoted to dance and believes it can connect different people and promote integration between people with and without disabilities. The troupe performed “Hand Dance Touch 2 — You’ll Never Dance Alone” in Taipei last weekend, marking their first appearance on a Taiwanese theatre stage. Although they cannot hear, they can also dance by feeling the beat through the vibrations of the music on stage, but they have to put in more effort than people without hearing impairments and face more difficulties. The performance begins with a solo dance in darkness, expressing disappointment, frustration and vexation, much like what he experienced over the past year.
聽不見，如何起舞？黃耀邦在舞台上，帶領其他身體有殘障的舞者，隨着音樂律動。他跳出熱情，也跳出悲傷沮喪，坐着輪椅的、穿上義肢的、弱聽的舞者，在台上同時發光發亮。黃耀邦曾以手語演釋《願榮光歸香港》、擔任「民間記者會」手語傳譯，去年原定演出的舞台劇被主辦方取消，他直言沒做錯甚麼，不知道為何會針對自己，而做傳譯只是想貢獻社會，為聾人爭取平等資訊權。在港苦尋表演場地不果，上周末移師台北表演，「會堅持下去做自己想做的事，不會放棄」。
「手語哥哥」黃耀邦在15年前創辦香港首個聾人舞團「森林樂聾人舞蹈團」，他醉心舞蹈，亦相信舞蹈可以連結不同人，達至傷健共融。舞蹈團上周末在台北演出《手舞觸動2－You’ll Never Dance Alone》，這是他們第一次踏上台灣劇場的台板。聽不見，但透過音樂在舞台上的震動，感受拍子，同樣能跳舞，但要比平常人付出更多、面對更多困難。黑暗中，以一首獨舞開始，失望、沮喪、懊惱，彷如過去一年他所經歷的事。

【傘後十年】赴美留學 異地續寫香港故事 周永康：與自己和解
In June 2019, Alex Chow, who was pursuing a doctorate in the United States, briefly returned to Hong Kong and happened to witness the outbreak of the anti-extradition bill movement. During the Umbrella Movement, he had served as secretary-general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students and was dubbed one of the “three student leaders” alongside Joshua Wong and Lester Shum. He instinctively wondered how the movement would be coordinated and whether the conflicts of 2014 could be avoided.
But events developed faster than anyone could have imagined. After Chow returned to the United States, the movement evolved into “no central leadership” and “no distinction between peaceful and militant protesters.” Later, the National Security Law was passed, and Hong Kong society underwent profound changes. Chow had not expected that it would be his last time returning to Hong Kong.
2019年6月，正在美國修讀博士的周永康，短暫返港，剛好目睹反修例運動爆發。在雨傘運動時擔任學聯秘書長、與黃之鋒和岑敖暉被合稱為「雙學三子」的他，下意識地想，運動怎樣協調？能夠迴避2014年的矛盾嗎？
但事情比誰想像中也發展得快。周永康返美後，運動演化為「無大台」、「和勇不分」，再後來《國安法》通過，香港社會巨變。周永康沒想過，那是他最後一次回港。

本港公務員申移居台灣被拒 拒辭現職、已宣誓成「安全風險」
Amid reports in recent years of Hong Kong people facing difficulties moving to Taiwan, a Hong Kong civil servant’s application two years ago to reside in Taiwan with a Taiwanese spouse was rejected, and an appeal was dismissed this year. The judgment said the Taiwanese authorities had required the applicant to resign as a civil servant and provide plans for future residence in Taiwan in order to obtain a residence permit. It also noted that Taiwan’s National Immigration Agency may reject a residence application if a Hong Kong civil servant is considered to have circumstances that “give rise to harm to the interests of the ‘state’, public safety or public order”. Examples included “taking an oath or signing a declaration supporting the Hong Kong Basic Law” and “pledging allegiance to the Hong Kong Government without leaving the post”. The applicant had stated when applying that they would not resign and emphasised that they would travel to Taiwan only from Friday to Sunday. The applicant objected to being deemed a “security risk” solely because of their status as a civil servant, but the grounds were not accepted by the Taipei High Administrative Court.
近年不時有指港人移居台灣面對困難，一名本港公務員前年申請隨台籍配偶在台居留被拒後上訴，至今年再被駁回。判辭透露台方曾要求事主必須辭任公務員及提供未來在台居留規劃，方可取得居留證，亦提及台灣的移民署認為若申請人屬本港公務員而「衍生有危害『國家』利益、公共安全、公共秩序之情事」，則可拒絕居留申請，並舉例包括「宣誓或簽署聲明擁護香港《基本法》」、「效忠香港政府且未離職」。事主申請時則表明不會辭職，又強調只會於逢周五至周日赴台，不滿單單因為公務員身分就被認定具有「安全風險」，但理據不為台北高等行政法院接受。

有校長稱台大學港招生會取消 港府：涉台事宜須按憲法一中
The “Taiwan Universities Individual Admissions Information Session”, held in Hong Kong for many years and scheduled to take place again at the end of this month, was reportedly cancelled recently. A spokesperson for the HKSAR Government declined to comment on individual cases, but cited the Constitution, saying that any activities involving Taiwan-related matters must be handled in accordance with the Constitution, the Basic Law and the one-China principle. This newspaper contacted the event organisers and Taiwan’s Ministry of Education separately, but had not received a reply by press time. A study guidance organisation said that fewer education fairs could affect Hong Kong students’ willingness to pursue studies in Taiwan, but believed that those interested could still obtain information through websites and other channels.
A school principal previously told this newspaper that the “Taiwan Universities Individual Admissions Information Session”, scheduled for 25 and 26 of this month in Tsim Sha Tsui, had been cancelled. Online information shows that the event was held at the same venue in Hong Kong over two days each year from 2020 to 2023. Promotional materials for 2021 and 2022 showed that around eight local universities participated each day, including several universities whose names contained the designation “National”. The event was intended to provide Hong Kong students interested in studying in Taiwan with information related to further studies.
過去多年在港舉行的「臺灣各大學單獨招生說明會」，原定本月底再度舉行，近日有消息稱活動已取消。特區政府發言人不評論個別個案，但引述《憲法》稱，任何活動涉及台灣相關事宜，必須根據《憲法》、《基本法》及一個中國原則處理。本報分別向活動主辦方及台灣教育部查詢，截稿前未獲回覆。有升學輔導機構認為，升學展減少會影響港生赴台升學意欲，但認為有興趣者仍可從網站等渠道獲取資訊。
有校長早前向本報稱，原定本月25至26日於尖沙嘴舉行的「臺灣各大學單獨招生說明會」已取消。翻查網上資料，該活動2020至2023年都在香港同一場地分兩日舉行，其中2021及2022年的宣傳品顯示，活動期間每日均有約8間當地大學參與，包括多間校名有「國立」稱號的大學；活動旨在向有興趣赴台升學港生提供升學相關資訊。

台灣教育展單張塗去「全國」、「僑生」等字眼 參展院校稱被要求勿回應「國立」大學退展
The Hong Kong Taiwan Higher Education Exhibition resumed today (27th) at the Kowloon Bay International Trade & Exhibition Centre for two days, after a four-year hiatus. Taiwanese media reported last week that the Hong Kong organiser had required Taiwan’s public universities not to participate under the title “National”, resulting in 11 public universities withdrawing. InMedia visited the exhibition this afternoon, where staff from participating institutions said the person in charge had “hinted” that universities should not answer reporters’ questions about the withdrawal of the “National” universities. The words “nationwide”, “overseas Chinese students”, “overseas”, “national”, “domestic students” and “foreign” had also been covered over on leaflets distributed by private universities or in booklets distributed by the organiser. On a notice board, “Overseas Joint Admissions Committee” had been covered to read “Overseas Liaison Committee”.
闊別4年的「香港台灣高等教育展」今日（27日）起一連兩日在九龍灣國際展貿中心復辦，上周有台灣傳媒報道，因香港主辦方要求台灣的公立大學不能以「國立」頭銜參展，最終有11間公立大學退出。《獨媒》今午到場視察，有參展職員向記者表示，教育展負責人已向各院校「暗示」不能回答記者有關「國立」大學退展等問題，現場私立大學派發的單張或主辦方派發的小冊子上，「全國」、「僑生」、「海外」、「國家」、「本國生」、「外國」等字眼亦被塗去，告示板上的「海外聯招會」則被遮蓋成「海聯會」。

「國立」頭銜被禁 台灣逾10大學棄參加香港教育展
The 2023 Hong Kong Taiwan Higher Education Exhibition will be held from Friday to Saturday (27–28). Taiwanese media reported that, after Hong Kong authorities required Taiwan’s public universities not to participate under the title “National”, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council and Ministry of Education assessed the situation, and all the public universities that had originally registered to participate ultimately withdrew. The Education Bureau told The Independent Media that it was not involved in organising the event and had not contacted the organisations concerned. The Independent Media has also made enquiries with the Police National Security Department.
「2023香港台灣高等教育展」將於周五至周六（27-28日）舉行，惟有台灣傳媒報道，因香港官方要求台灣的公立大學不能以「國立」頭銜參展，台灣的陸委會與教育部評估後，原本報名參加的公立大學最後全部不參加。教育局回覆《獨媒》表示，沒有參與有關活動的籌辦工作，也沒有聯絡相關機構。《獨媒》另已向警方國安處查詢。

歷來最多香港作品入選台灣金馬創投 談港人離散、疫後少年創傷
The darker the sky, the brighter the stars. Taiwan’s Golden Horse Project Promotion has announced its selected projects. By place of production, 11 Hong Kong works were selected this year—the highest number on record. Including works by Hong Kong directors who have emigrated, the total is 12. After China’s boycott of the Golden Horse Awards, Hong Kong works had been absent from the Golden Horse Project Promotion for nearly five years. Their emergence and selection rate have instead continued to rise, setting new records repeatedly over the past three years. Apart from host Taiwan, Hong Kong is the region with the most selected works. Many of the selected projects respond to Hong Kong’s social changes in recent years.
天愈黑，星愈亮。台灣「金馬創投」公布入圍項目，若以產地劃分，今年共有11個香港作品入選，為歷年最多。若連同移民的香港導演作品，則有12個港人作品入選。隨著中國杯葛金馬，近五年絕跡「金馬創投」後，香港作品冒起和入選比例反而不斷上升，這三年屢刷下新高，是繼東道主台灣以外，另一個最多作品入選的地區。而入選作品中，不少回應著香港近年的社會轉變。
