香港你是否覺得逢政府高官、特首必反很酷?香港你是不是覺得顛覆政府很爽?香港你是否覺得這樣的自己很有智慧,可以凌駕一切?香港你是否覺得逢人必反的這種行為顯得自己很有手段?香港你是否覺得自己顛覆一切的行為很優越?香港是否覺得把人家從高位拉下來的動作顯得自己很有權力?香港你是否覺得這樣的自己很有競爭力? 最好的香港應該是無政府的,特首位置懸空的,最好就是各自顧全自己的利益,這樣是不是才符合經濟原則和人性? 去奧運的時候,香港是不是應該以獨立的身份,不代表中國,不拿中國的國旗,這樣子做一個特別的特別行政區,這樣才夠特別?不代表任何國家,不代表任何民族,就以獨立人的身份參加國際性賽事,這樣的香港是不是很自我?是不是很特別?是不是自己就是民族英雄?反政府、反皇帝、反政治、反特首、反國家、反鄰近國家政權,是不是香港人覺得這才是人間正道。 香港你是不是覺得外國人看了,會覺得香港很矜貴?香港很特別?像一棵亮眼的鑽石,是東方之珠,是寶島,是名貴的寶藏,是亞洲的亮眼新星? 香港你是不是覺得香港這樣子沒有政府、沒有特首,很有型。香港你是不是覺得國外的人看了會因此過來投資

我知道香港人壓力大,我知道香港人搵食艱難,我知道香港人很大競爭,我知道香港社會弱肉強食,我知道香港是資本主義社會所以什麼都講金不講心,但香港你可不可以不要把女人當作你的發洩對象?香港你可不可以不把女人當作一種洩慾工具?香港你可不可以不把你自己的壓力都瀉在女人身上? 香港可不可以不要每套電影都講嫖客沉船?香港可不可以不要每套電影都講男人包小三?香港可不可以不要每套電影都講偷食人妻?香港可不可以不要每套電影都講夫妻出軌?香港可不可以不要每套電影都灌輸嚴重錯誤的性愛片段?香港可不可以不要每套電影都描述扭曲的戀愛關係?香港可不可以不每套電影都加些什麼「叫雞瀨埋西」?香港可不可以不每套電影都講些什麼「俾碌蕉你含」?香港可不可以不要每套電影都是什麼「生化壽屍」?香港可不可以不每套電影都是什麼「精裝追女仔」?香港可不可以不每套電影都講雞鴨戀? 香港可不可以有一些正常一點的題材?比如說,兩個男女正常的戀愛關係,是真愛那種,不是買春,不是包養,不是那種老闆客戶關係的性愛?香港可不可以多一些正常的人間故事,而不是什麼富豪包港姐生仔送層樓之類的橋段?真的,每一期八婆雜

上海人則注重實用、微觀及可行性,更擅長於靈活變通地運用政策。北京人善於辭令、口才出眾,語言往往富有極強的感染力和煽動性,能侃在北京是一種能力(比如我老闆張晨),也是一種有用的社會資本。上海人的眼中,這種「豪情萬丈」往往顯得牛皮哄哄,不著邊際。上海人相對更心思縝密、精乾實在,喜歡沒有目的地比來比去。 北京有段子說,上海人太精明、會算計,譬如上海阿姨們如果要去市內一個較遠的地方,出發之前會花不少時間去思考、比較和打聽哪一條路線換乘次數最少、車票最划算。上海人的這種對實際效益的精明估算常常被北京人調侃,戲稱其為聰明有餘、智慧不足,膽子不大,失算不多。 北京氣候嚴峻,賦予了北京人風風火火、大大咧咧、豪放豁達的性格。他們講義氣、為朋友兩肋插刀,在公交車上爭著給老人讓座,借錢可以不計較利息。老舍、王朔、史鐵生等為代表的京派作家形象刻畫了接地氣、有熱度的京片子形象。 上海的風水、氣候及土壤孕育了上海的陰濕,這種陰濕適合長霉菌與無病呻吟。體現在男人身上是「面」,體現在女人身上是「作」和一身「銅臭」,有些像淋黃梅雨,雨不大,不冷,但讓人想作嘔。 你知道北京人最討厭

你知道北京人最討厭上海人什麼嗎?愛顯擺,貪錢,膚淺,愛炫耀。 有沒有見過那些上海人一身名牌,而且還經常說自己買的是正貨,不是淘寶貨?而且,有人還可能捐腎捐肝把錢穿在身上:就一個 chanel 包包,居然有人用器官換。是不是很不可思議? 我是北京人,我覺得這種愛名牌的陋習簡直不可理喻。北京人叫這種把所有名牌穿在身上的大媽做「秀水」。對,秀水市場大媽。上海人好不容易買一個 LV 袋,恨不得那個 Logo 比胸脯還要大還要顯眼。然後,手錶恨不得讓人知道自己帶勞力士,再加上什麼 Valentino 的皮帶,大大個 V 字,生怕別人不知道她穿的是 Valentino。有那麼虛榮嗎?這樣子把所有名牌全部帶在身上,不像一棵聖誕樹嗎? 而且,上海人穿衣服顏色搭配不 ok,一套衣服,恨不得,藍色的外套,藍色的襯衣,藍色的褲子,全部都是一個顏色,還不是什麼同色系,還配藍色眼影,藍色手袋,藍色鞋子。有沒有這樣子穿衣的?還一臉光榮,覺得自己配得很絕。人家一看,就覺得你精神有問題。 上海人在國際地位很低,香港人別開心,你也是,在國際地位很低。口碑很差的。...

你以為北京怕香港嗎?你以為北京沒有像香港般欺凌其他人,就是懦弱的表現嗎? 拜託,北京人是不把你當一回事兒,沒有把你放在眼內。 北京不是跟你一般見識,懶都懶得理你。 香港、大灣區、廣東省、蘇浙、上海等南方地方都是出才子的地方。香港之所以 IB 狀元那麼多,你以為是因為我們基因好,智商高嗎?是因為你們全都是書呆子,就知道讀書!去了什麼哈佛、耶魯,就以為可以為所欲為,以為可以欺凌哥倫比亞大學,因為 ranking 比較高?以為自己拿了個經濟學的本科學位,就是什麼學霸了?你以為這樣子就可以雄霸亞洲、傲視全球?拜託,別柒出國際了。 你知道外國人怎麼看香港人嗎?覺得香港你和廣東人一樣,猥瑣、低俗,滿嘴都是屌西柒鳩 撚,好淫褻。滿腦子都是色情的東西,鹹濕,愛嫖妓。而且喜歡玩女人,叫雞。叫雞仲要瀨埋西!沒有深度。喜歡看 AV,一不喜歡就 revenge porn。你以為這叫賤嗎?這叫幼稚,這叫天真,這叫不諳世事。北方人、日本人、韓國人,比你賤一百倍,好嗎? 你知道北方人不看港產片嗎?因為港產片沒有營養,都是什麼王晶最喜歡的屎尿屁,很無聊。北方人覺得看港產片沒意思

請至少做一個像男人的男人
其實我的要求並不高,其實,港男毒L,你可不可以至少做一個像男人的男人? 什麼叫做像男人的男人? 我想,這關乎一些地域性的文化和素養。 你知道我是北方人吧。你知道北方人瞧不起南方人嗎?你知道北方人為什麼瞧不起南方人嗎?就算是富甲一方的廣東省、大灣區還有香港,北方人還是瞧不起你。 因為這是一些地域性的文化問題,不容易理解。 香港人對於北方和南方沒有概念。每一次我介紹自己是內地人,或者和媽媽出去的時候,很多人都不自覺地把我歸類為上海人,因為在香港人眼中上海已經是北方的盡頭了。 這是很井底之蛙的愚見。 中國大陸打從春秋戰國開始,北方可以延伸到俄羅斯、東北三省,但楚國卻最南只到武漢左右。以前的中國是不算廣東省在內的,可能以前的廣東算是越南、泰國之類的蠻夷國家。中國的北方人是不算廣東人做內地人的,因為他們覺得文化差異太大了。 現今的中國主要分北方、南方,以長江作為一個分界線。長江流域的盡頭上海就是一個分水嶺。上海以北的才算北方。上海以南的才叫南方。中國自古以來定都都在北方,北京已經是很多個朝代的首都,還有洛陽、鄭州等都算北方。國民黨卻執意定都南京,結果一個南

港男,你好嘢!
其實,我雖然是在一所天主教女子學校長大的,但我不是沒有接觸過男孩子。 小時候,就在小童群益會,男女比例相當平衡,一半男一半女。 有華仁,有聖若瑟,有名校的,也有一些地區性的學校,都是在港島。 我以前有一個好朋友,他叫做李庭安。 我說過我在北京也有一些鄰居好友的,所以我對於香港男孩和北方男孩的差別不是沒有概念的。 在我的眼中,我從來沒有當過李庭安是男孩子。 為什麼呢? 李庭安,在我的印象中,是一個很女性化的男生。 他的頭髮很短,大約一釐米左右,他戴眼鏡。因為他數學很好的原因,他滿頭白髮。 他也不顧形象,他穿的衣服都是卡通史努比那種,而且還是一看就是翻版不是正版的那種。 翻版的卡通衣服很便宜,可能一兩百就有一套。 他經常穿着那一兩套,從來不換衣服。他媽媽是渣打的 teller,爸爸是公務員,他們供樓有優惠。每天下午,他媽媽都準時接他回家。他就是那種很典型的小職員家庭長大。 他經常跟在我和潘思穎後面。 因為我和潘思穎是同校的,所以,我們在小童群益會出雙入對。 那麼李庭安就跟在我們後面。 由於我們嘉諾撒聖方濟各出的女生都是比較兇悍和強勢的,所以,我們就經

漂向北方
還記得年少時期的我是經常回去北京的。 暑假、春假、聖誕假、復活節假,反正一有假期,我就會和媽媽一起去北京。 爸爸有時候出差,也會帶着我們一起住賓館。 當年的賓館還沒有什麼五星、四星之類的,我們就住在京廣中心。樓下有打遊戲的地方,我很喜歡在酒店打遊戲。 我很喜歡回去北京。當時的媽媽跟我說,我的鄉下就是北京。 我的祖籍就是哈爾濱。 我從小都沒有回去過我爸爸那邊的家鄉——廣東東莞。所以我很討厭廣東。我到了二十多歲才第一次去廣州。 每一次回北京,我媽媽都帶我坐港龍經濟艙。 港龍經濟艙很擠,而且經常有小孩在機艙哭鬧,我覺得很難受。但是飛機機程大約只有三個小時,所以還算過得去。如果沒有誤點,或者什麼事延誤的話,其實並不難熬。但是小時候的港龍,服務很差,經常誤點,在機艙一待就是四五個小時。 而且,當時還沒有赤蠟角機場,是在啟德降落的。 我不喜歡啟德機場。我不知道你們有沒有印象,但是我很討厭在很多舊樓之中降落的感覺,奇怪的是,不知道為什麼,每一次飛機在啟德降落,機上的人都會大聲鼓掌,然後大唱這首歌:Hong Kong,Kowloon Hong Kong。I lo

Hong Kong, you will never be Harbin.
My favorite district in Beijing is Wudaokou. It is a college town next to Tsinghua and Beida. It is also a Korean town. I like checking out the coffee shops in that district because it reminds me of college. There are lots of things to do in Wudaokou. It has shops, malls, and a famous district for tech companies, 中關村. I really like the vibe of Wudaokou because it is very non-commercial. A bit of college, a bit of tech, a bit of education, a bit of academia, a bit of Korean, a

Can you ever know what you don't know?
This is a philosophical question: can you ever know what you don't know? This is a blindspot for most Hong Kongers. We are confined to an island, yet we proudly think that we are the world. So in turn, we think we know everything, thanks to the reporting styles of Apple Daily. We think that we know what's going on in the world through the lens of Apple Daily. But unfortunately, we never know what we don't know. The problem lying underneath is that we have too much confidence.

I love watching the little things that you do
They say that if you feel excited to wake up next to the person sleeping with you, that's true love. Um...I think my true love is my shiba inu. No, I actually did have the experience waking up next to a guy I loved. After all, I am 42. I have loved someone before. It was my college boyfriend. I loved waking up next to him watching the little things that he did. You know, just the usual things. Like watching him taking off his top, watching him drinking his protein shake, watc

So my bestie is....
I have had a few best friends in different stages of life. I have to say my favorite bestie has always been Kelly Wang, my roommate at Columbia. I think she is a key reason why I am emotionally so attached to my alma mater. Note that I am totally foreign in New York, but I think everything just felt so much more amazing with her company. Why do I like her so much? I guess it is our upbringing. She moved to the states when she was 10 or something so she had good knowledge in C

Hong Kong has no friends.
Did you notice that Hong Kong has no friends? Just a bunch of imaginary competitors and foes. We have no friends. Because we feel good to bully our neighboring countries, like Thailand, Vietnam, China, Taiwan. And we certainly want to do better than our competitors like Japan, Singapore and Korea. So in the end, what are you? Bermuda? An island where all foreigners will go mysteriously missing or dead when passing through? When a country or city has no friends, it becomes eas

When your entire focus is solely on your imaginary competitor...
Hong Kong people are known to be tunnel visioned. All we care about is money. How can I earn more than the guy next to me? How can I get richer than yesterday? How can I get higher returns from the stock market? How can my apartment be sold at a better price than my neighbors? It seems like Hong Kong people really have nothing better to think about. It is sad. Yet, this is our reality. How did we evolve into our current species? How did we become unshamefully proud of the fac

Maybe if you stop acting so hostile.....
I can say that Apple Daily has ruined the mental health of our generations in the last three decades. For how many years, we were excited to read the news? Hong Kong people used to be obsessed with money. The moment they opened their eyes in bed, they thought about money. How could I make more money today? How could I be wealthier than yesterday? The sole purpose of life was to make money, like a money machine. Unfortunately, this was the sad reality of Hong Kong people for m

Am I supercilious?
I know for a fact that many people think that I am arrogant, that I am condescending, that I have my nose up in the air. Maybe I was the alpha type of elites. But not anymore. Columbia has taught me how to be confident yet humble, accomplished yet grounded. Yes, I am unapologetically myself. How was I like before I went to Columbia? I was very religious, if anything. My favorite middle school teacher was Miss Yim who taught me religious studies and Miss H Wong who taught me h

How did Hong Kong become Cambodia 2.0?
I still remember the glory of joining Lehman Brothers as the only sales analyst in the entire fixed income department. I was sitting at the prime area of the trading desks facing the Victoria Harbour in IFC. I would eat Japanese sushi for dinner and fine dine in Soho if not the Elements for the weekends. Parties on boat trips a few times a month with other equally accomplished young elites from all over the world. What a luxurious life. I hear stories though. One of our co-ye

Hey Jude! Happy Hanukkah!
I am a big foodie. I like good food. When I was growing up in Hong Kong, I was brainwashed just like everyone else, thinking that Hong Kong is a shopping and food paradise. Tax free. No service charges. I was really into the notion that Hong Kong is an international hub: vibrant, dynamic, fair and safe for locals and foreigners. Then I went to New York. I was like, wait a minute. This can't be true. Either what I was told in Hong Kong textbooks was completely based on false c

This is probably the best kept secret among the Ivy League and other top colleges in the states. Yes, Columbia guys are the hottest on earth. You may think that an Ivy League guy is a stereotypical white dude with J Crew preppy sweaters and khaki pants, singing in an Accapella group, probably with glasses and sometimes with a book that reads a title we all don't understand.

In retrospect...
A lot of people say that college, especially the Ivy League schools, is like a black box. It does amazing things to your brain and transforms you in a way that could not quite be comprehended. I recently subscribed to the New Yorker and the New York Magazine. To my surprise, it is a lot more fun to read than I would have expected. It covers stories like "Gina Grant, a killer who got into Harvard." and "Mary had schizophrenia, then suddenly, she didn't." It is interesting to s
