Playwright Zhuang Meiyan: Anonymous complainants labelled me a “black violence” offender and used Cultural Revolution-style struggle to strip me of my rights
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。」
