林鄭月娥是一位誠實的市長。《蘋果日報》結業、六四晚會流產、七一遊行取消,這些「新時代新氣象」,居然被她正式用作「政綱」,還要「正名」為「美麗新香港」:

「美麗新香港是指準確全面貫徹一國兩制、以一國為本、善用兩制、有高度開放型經濟,以及維護市民依法享有權利及自由的香港,但法治精神是違法必究,因此政府正按港區國安法,採取違法必究的態度。」

而任何(真)社會科學畢業生,都會知道《美麗新世界》這小說。這是和《1984》齊名的迪托邦 / 反烏托邦小說,講述未來世界科技進步、看似很「美麗」,卻淪為極權監控、文化大倒退的空洞之城,甚麼都被「科技」控制,人類習慣了被勞役、而以為這就是「快樂」,和《1984》的「big brother is watching you」異曲同工。

對應林鄭月娥上述「美麗新香港」,《美麗新世界》正有類似定義:

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.” 

換句話說,「美麗新香港」正是政權眼中的「烏托邦」,哪怕在一般人眼中,那卻是一個迪托邦。這就像全球最幸福的國度北韓,官方也是宣傳「美麗新世界」,北韓人(脫北前)都要認為自己「最幸福」,金將軍一直強調市民「依法享有權利及自由」(而且北韓還有「全民普選」),並強調「(北韓式)法治」是「違(北韓)法必究」。

究竟鄭市長是真的沒有讀過、甚至沒有聽過這本書;真心認同這本書形容的是「美麗新世界」;還是用心良苦玩大曲線,暗示自己已經「依法」失去人身自由、請大家睇路?

When she first mentioned it, this book popped immediately in my mind. Same went, some years ago, a representative from the Liaison Office once quoted to bring people to see a new and beautiful scene. This book popped in my mind also. The irony is the more these words were quoted, the grimmer the situation has become. When rules and logics still apply, people rarely hear such quotes. Since the professor introduced so many good books, I would also recommend one in Soviet era called “Master and Margarita” by Mikhail Bulgakov. In the era of high pressure, the creativity blossomed in a way people had never imagined. At least that that story survives itself will shed some light in time like this.
