Hong Kong’s localist political party “Hong Kong People’s Chi” has been disbanded, the former chairman of Lam Long-yan was sentenced to seven months in prison for the case of the siege of police headquarters the year before last, and was released from prison on the morning of the 12th of this month after serving his sentence. He said in a low-key Facebook post today (14) that his release from prison “also means that he has moved from one form of unfreedom to another”.
He was released from Hei Ling Chau Correctional Institution to Central Pier in the morning, “that is, from one form of unfreedom to another form of unfreedom.
Lam pointed out that the choice to leave Hong Kong is probably not only the situation of political front-line workers, but also a story that happens around many ordinary Hong Kong people. After his release from prison, he really felt and accepted the drastically changed atmosphere, and many of the accounts in the chat room, where conversations were still lively a few months ago, no longer correspond to a real person in reality.
Lin confessed that he had heard from his comrades that many people outside the prison were in fear of high pressure, but that he had a positive feeling of being out of place after his release from prison. It is better to hold on to someone who needs support with a casual hand than to cross your arms.
He can only focus on the present day, but this day will not accumulate anything for him, and the days and months he spends will not enrich his life. This should be the most painful part of imprisonment, which is a non-violent and chronic erosion of life. If you’re not busy sitting in prison, you’re busy fighting this consumption in your mind.”
Lin said he switched his thinking and adjusted his mindset, treating his imprisonment as an all-inclusive “cultural, recreational, physical and artistic training camp,” reading books and newspapers, drawing pencil sketches, running and playing basketball (he lost about 12 kilograms this time). The first month he was on the court, his legs could not run at all, and he was so tired in five minutes that his face was distorted, and he questioned “why do I have to force myself to do something that frustrates me? “
Lin Long-yan said, “Even if I can not take anything away from the prison, even if the time and plans that originally belonged to me every millisecond is being 剶 taken away, at least some things they can not take away, is through persistence, to sway the results.”
Lin Langyan continues, he knows that to change Hong Kong, the past practices may no longer be feasible, but after sitting in jail, patting his body, safe and sound, feeling “as if I can hold on again. When he almost fell down, he gritted his teeth and found himself running the next lap.
In the end, Lin said he did not dare to claim that he would share the fate of this place, and who can promise to be brave in 2021 after the end of the world, but as the sun rises, it is enough to try to work that day again. He also mentioned that he listens to the radio at night while writing letters and often looks forward to the host’s “Before the Light of Day” by Hong Kong singer Huang Yan.
In conclusion, Lin said, “In short, I would like to ask everyone to not get up before dawn, but to get up at dawn, to make good use of each day, to cherish the “time that flows”, and to cherish the “jelly-like” time that the hands and feet in prison must have squeezed into an hour or two before leaving the bed. An hour or two before they leave their beds, the men and women in prison must have squeezed into that jelly-like time to face their own problems.
