劇作家莊梅岩：匿名投訴我的人將我冠上黑暴罪名 以文革式批鬥去剝奪我的權利
Renowned Hong Kong playwright Zhuang Meiyan published three consecutive articles on social media under the title “Hong Kong-style Cultural Revolution”, making a “denunciation” over a series of recent crackdowns. In the final article, published today (the 26th), she accused people who anonymously complained about her and submitted articles to the media of labelling her a “black violence” offender and using Cultural Revolution-style struggle to incite the public to isolate her.
After the performance of her work We Are the Happiest was cancelled, Zhuang’s “Hong Kong-style Cultural Revolution” series progressed from her father’s experiences during the Cultural Revolution to her own being blacklisted. In the latest article, she referred to “the people who anonymously complained about me, and the authors who wrote submissions to Wen Wei Po and HK01 to bully me”. She believed that, because she had taken part in marches in 2019 and supported different political views, she had repeatedly and in slogan-like fashion been labelled a “black violence” offender. She lamented: “This does not warrant imprisonment, nor have I committed a national-security offence, so they used Cultural Revolution-style struggle to deprive me of my rights and incite the public to distance themselves from me and isolate me.”
香港著名劇作家莊梅岩，在社交平台以「港式文革」為題連發3篇文章，對近日連串打壓作出「控訴」。她的最後一篇於今日（26日）發佈，指控對她作出匿名投訴、向媒體投稿的人將她冠上「黑暴」罪名，用文革式批鬥唆使公眾孤立她。
作品《我們最快樂》被取消演出，莊梅岩的「港式文革」系列文章，由其父親經歷文革講到自己被封殺。今日最新一篇提到「匿名投訴我的人、寫稿去文匯和01霸凌我的作者」，她認為，自己因為於2019年曾參加遊行、支持過不同的政治理念而被重重複複、口號式地冠上「黑暴」的罪名。她慨嘆：「這不用坐牢，亦未犯國安，於是他們就以文革式批鬥去剝奪我的權利，唆使公眾疏遠我、孤立我。」

封殺莊梅岩｜《我們最快樂》賣紀念品 收投訴提前停售 莊梅岩：香港式文化大革命
Playwright Chong Mui-yam, who wrote in September that she had been blacklisted by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and West Kowloon, posted again on social media today. She said her work “We Are the Happiest” was “cancelled” in mid-last month after complaints were received. In a “blacklisting timeline”, she described the “sequence of events and personal feelings during the Hong Kong-style Cultural Revolution”, saying that merchandise for “We Are the Happiest” was sold to pay the salaries of staff whose work had been “cancelled”. The sales platform stopped selling the merchandise early after receiving a complaint email. She also said other co-organisers had received complaints alleging that helping to sell the merchandise was “equivalent to opposing the government”, and threatening to report them.
今年 9 月發文揭被演藝、藝發局、康文署和西九等封殺的劇作家莊梅岩，其編劇作品《我們最快樂》上月中因收投訴「被取消」。莊梅岩今日在社交媒體再發文，以「封殺時間軸」整理「香港式文化大革命之時序及個人感受」，指《我們最快樂》售賣紀念品支付受「被取消」工作人員薪金，銷售平台收到投訴電郵後提早停售。她又指其他合辦單位亦收到投訴，指協助銷售紀念品「等同對抗政府」，威脅舉報。

封殺莊梅岩｜文匯登評論批「軟對抗」 《我們最快樂》被取消 西九：收投訴詆毁香港，獲文體旅支持
The play We Are the Happiest, which was earlier reported to be facing cancellation before apparently receiving the green light to stage performances in West Kowloon, issued a cancellation notice this morning (18th). It said that shortly after 9am, it received written notification from the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority that the performances had been cancelled, but that the authority did not state why they had to be halted. Playwright Candace Chong, who had earlier posted about being “banned”, shared the notice this morning with the words, “The elephant. Is here.” One of the actors, Anthony Wong, wrote that people should “not be sad and not despair”.
The pro-establishment newspaper Wen Wei Po has published two commentaries in recent days accusing Candace Chong of engaging in “soft resistance” and “inciting social confrontation”. In response to enquiries, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority said it had recently received numerous complaints alleging that We Are the Happiest promoted confrontation and denigrated Hong Kong. “Out of prudence”, it considered the play unsuitable for performance at West Kowloon venues. The authority also said it had consulted the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau and cancelled the venue rental with its support and agreement.
早前一度傳出將「被取消」、再獲開「綠燈」於西九演出的舞台劇《我們最快樂》，今早（18日）發「取消公告」，指於今早九時多收到西九文化局書面通知「演出被取消」，對方未有提及演出需中止原因；早前發文揭「被封殺」的編劇莊梅岩今晨分享公告，並寫上 “The elephant. Is here.” 。演員之一黃秋生則發文指「不要難過，不要絕望」。
建制報章《文匯報》近日兩度登評論文章批莊梅岩「搞軟對抗」、「煽動社會對立」。西九文化區管理局回覆查詢指，近日收到不少投訴，「稱舞台劇《我們最快樂》宣揚對抗，詆毁香港」，「慎重起見」認為不適合在西九場地演出；管理局又指經徵詢文化體育及旅遊局並獲支持和同意，而取消場地租賃。

封殺莊梅岩｜中大「未能提供場地」 講座「被取消」 中大：設施使用如常，沒補充
Playwright Candace Chong wrote earlier this month alleging that she had been “blacklisted” by the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and West Kowloon. The Office of Arts Administration under The Chinese University of Hong Kong had scheduled a talk by Chong at the Shaw College Hall on 20 October, with registration for members of the public and alumni opening in early September. The office suddenly announced on its website today (26 September) that the talk had been “cancelled because the university was unable to provide a venue for the event”, and apologised for the inconvenience caused to registered attendees, asking for their understanding.
《集誌社》 asked CUHK why it was unable to provide a venue and whether this was related to Chong’s earlier allegation that she had been “blacklisted”. CUHK replied in the evening in 40 Chinese characters: “The university was unable to provide a venue for this event. CUHK’s current policy and operation regarding the use of campus facilities remain unchanged. There is no further comment.” Chong wrote on Facebook that evening that the problem with Hong Kong’s current management was ignorance, mediocrity and cowardice: “They don’t know what they are harming, they don’t know what they are destroying, and they don’t know what they are afraid of.”
劇作家莊梅岩月初發文，揭被演藝、康文署、西九等「封殺」。中文大學轄下藝術行政主任辦公室（下稱辦公室），原定於 10 月 20 日在中大邵逸夫堂舉辦莊梅岩講座，早在 9 月初開放予公眾人士和校友登記。辦公室今（26日）突然在網站公布，講座「因校方未能就是次活動提供場地」而取消，又指對已登記觀眾造成不便深感抱歉，敬請體諒。
《集誌社》向中文大學查詢，為何未能提供場地？與早前莊梅岩指「被封殺」是否有關等等？中大晚上以 40 字回覆指，「未能就是次活動提供場地。中大現行的校內設施使用政策及運作如常，沒有其他補充」。莊梅岩晚上在 Facebook 發文指現時香港管理層問題是無知、平庸同懦弱，「佢哋唔知自己傷害緊啲乜、唔知自己破壞緊啲乜、唔知自己怕緊啲乜」。

《我們最快樂》西九11月重演 傳「被取消」 莊梅岩稱「再獲綠燈」 將重啟預售
The stage play “We Are the Happiest”, which premiered in 2022, was scheduled to return to the Grand Theatre of the Xiqu Centre in West Kowloon from November 28 to 30. However, playwright Candace Chong recently wrote about what she described as an experience of being suppressed, saying she would not regret speaking out even if “We Are the Happiest” were to be cancelled. West Kowloon merely told the media at the time that the venue had been rented out and did not respond to whether the performances would be cancelled. Chong wrote again today (the 20th), saying that “after going through innumerable difficulties”, she had been notified that the play had once again received the “green light”, and that advance ticket sales would resume as soon as possible.
On the 9th of this month, Chong wrote that a work project she was handling had recently been “suppressed”. She said, “Even if We Are the Happiest is going to be cancelled, even if I can never again set foot on the Hong Kong stage, I will not regret it.” She also told people who had bought advance tickets for We Are the Happiest not to worry, saying, “Once there is formal notification from above, we will immediately handle the ticket refunds.”
曾在 2022 年首演的舞台劇《我們最快樂》，原定11月28日至30日在西九戲曲中心大劇院重演，惟編劇莊梅岩日前發文講述疑被封殺經歷，提到「即使《我們最快樂》將要被取消」也不會後悔發聲，當時西九僅回覆傳媒稱已租出場地，未有回應演出會否取消。莊梅岩今（20日）再發文指「經歷萬難之後」，收到通知《我》又再獲「綠燈」，將盡快重啟預售。
莊梅岩本月 9 日時發文稱，近期手上有工作項目被「封殺」，提到「即使《我們最快樂》將要被取消，即使我再也不能踏上香港舞台，我也不會後悔的。」又指買了《我們最快樂》預售門票的朋友不用擔心，「等上面正式通報，我們就會立刻處理退票的事」。

封殺莊梅岩｜ 文體旅局稱嚴格把關促文藝發展：個別人士言論，不予置評
Playwright Chong Mui-yam earlier disclosed that the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts had withdrawn an anniversary interview and discouraged her from taking a curtain call after a musical performance. In a third post yesterday, she cited multiple examples alleging that she had been blacklisted by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and West Kowloon. The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau responded to enquiries from The Collective on the 10th, reiterating that “soft resistance” had always existed and that funding and venue applications must be handled rigorously. It said the vast majority of arts workers were patriotic and loved Hong Kong, and that strict vetting could promote arts and cultural development. It concluded that it had “no comment” on the remarks of individual people.

封殺莊梅岩之三｜ 11 月公演《我們最快樂》「將被取消」：我不會後悔 西九：已租用戲曲中心演出
Chong Mui-yam, who earlier revealed that the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts had withdrawn an interview for its anniversary celebrations and advised her against taking a curtain call after a musical performance, posted for the third time today (the 9th), listing several examples in which she alleged that she had been blacklisted by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and West Kowloon. She also disclosed that the revival of “We Are the Happiest”, originally scheduled for the end of November at the Grand Theatre of the Xiqu Centre in the West Kowloon Cultural District, “will be cancelled”, saying: “Even if I can never again set foot on a Hong Kong stage, I will not regret it.”
The official “We Are the Happiest” page said in a post tonight that it was still awaiting formal notification from the authorities on the latest situation and would announce any news on the page. It reiterated that if the performances were cancelled, all ticket payments, including handling fees, would be refunded in full. The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority replied at about 10pm that “the stage play ‘We Are the Happiest’ has hired the Grand Theatre of the Xiqu Centre in the West Kowloon Cultural District for performances”. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department replied shortly after 11pm that all venue booking matters under its purview were handled in accordance with established booking procedures and rental terms.
早前揭演藝抽走校慶訪問、勸阻她在音樂劇公演後謝幕的莊梅岩，今（9日）第三度發文，列舉多項例子控訴自己被藝發局、康文署、以至西九封殺。她又透露，原定 11 月底在西九戲曲中心大劇院重演的《我們最快樂》「將被取消」，但稱「即使我再也不能踏上香港舞台，我也不會後悔的」。
《我們最快樂》專頁晚上發文，稱尚在等待當局正式通知最新情況，有消息會在專頁公布；重申如演出取消，所有門票款項包括手續費將會全數退回。西九文化區管理局晚上約十時回覆，稱「《我們最快樂》舞台劇已租用西九文化區戲曲中心大劇院演出」；康文署晚上 11 時多回覆稱轄下所有場地訂租事宜，均根據既有訂租程序及租用條款處理。

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」。
