In this free country where I now reside, I could easily yield to a carefree existence— eating, drinking, travelling, and entertaining myself without compulsion, wilfully blind to harsh realities. Alternatively, I might retreat to the sanctuary of the ivory tower and pursue pure academic research in blissful isolation. Yet can I truly reconcile myself to such a life? Can I find peace in the English countryside or in Taiwan’s open, democratic embrace while my heart remains torn by the suffering of a boarded-up Mainland China and Hong Kong under the oppressive reign of white terror? I remain convinced that Hong Kong’s agonising experiences during these pivotal years (2019–2025) must transcend the boundaries of Chinese-speaking nations to reach a global audience. This English translation weaves together the essential elements of three separate volumes, creating a unified testament to our collective suffering. It stands as a record of my lamentations for Hong Kong—a city that was, and shall never be again.
