中大中文系為授權風波致歉 承諾日後出版作品集「必先徵求作者同意」
The Department of Chinese Language and Literature at The Chinese University of Hong Kong was earlier criticised after it was revealed that it had published students’ works without their consent. Some alumni jointly signed a letter calling on the department to publicly explain the matter. In a statement issued on Thursday (the 9th), the department apologised for printing and publishing 《吐露滋蘭（第三輯）》 without obtaining formal authorisation from all the authors, and said it would immediately halt all public sales of the 《吐露滋蘭》 series. The department pledged that, before publishing similar collections in future, it would “first seek the authors’ consent and inform them of the publication details, and handle authorisation and related matters seriously.”
中大中國語言及文學系早前被揭未經學生同意出版其作品，做法惹來批評，有校友聯署要求系方公開交代來龍去脈。系方周四（9日）發聲明回應，為未有取得所有作者正式授權下付印出版《吐露滋蘭（第三輯）》而致歉，並稱即時停止《吐露滋蘭》系列的一切公開銷售。系方承諾，日後出版同類作品集前「必先徵求作者同意及知會出版詳情，認真處理授權及相關事宜」。

中大中文系未獲同意下出版學生功課 作者感錯愕、籲尊重文字
The Chinese Department of The Chinese University of Hong Kong published the student anthology 《吐露滋蘭（第三輯）》, which was found to have allegedly included some authors’ works without their consent. The works included students’ creative writing assignments and prize-winning entries from open literary competitions. Cheng Chung-shan, one of the editors, told the media that he “believe[d] many students felt honoured that their works were selected”, prompting controversy.
Apart from Leung Lai-chi, 《獨媒》 contacted five authors whose works appeared in the book. All said the Chinese Department had never contacted them about the publication. Some students said they were shocked and confused, while a graduate said they were happy that their work had been appreciated: “But this does not mean it can be published and sold without my knowledge whatsoever. Obtaining consent is the responsibility and courtesy of the publisher.”
《吐露滋蘭（第三輯）》 has now been removed from all platforms. 《獨媒》 contacted the Chinese Department of CUHK for an inquiry but had not received a reply by press time.
中大中文系出版的學生創作集《吐露滋蘭（第三輯）》，被揭涉嫌未經部分作者同意就出版其作品，當中包括學生的創作功課及參加公開文學比賽的得獎作品。編者之一程中山向傳媒指「相信很多學生對作品獲選感到榮幸」，說法惹爭議。
除了梁莉姿，《獨媒》接觸到5名書中作者，全部表示中大中文系從未就出版一事聯絡他們。有學生坦言錯愕及不解，亦有畢業生對作品獲欣賞感開心：「但這樣不代表可以在我完全不知情下，出版兼販賣我的作品。得到consent（授權同意）是出版方的責任和禮儀。」
《吐露滋蘭（第三輯）》現已於各平台下架。《獨媒》已向中大中文系查詢，截稿前未獲回覆。
