對祖國的認知

上星期想寫一些關於馬英九被拒入港後自己的一點感想，耐何到有機會坐在電腦前時，想寫的己忘得七七八八，頗氣餒。
科技發達，現在人們已經可在PDA上寫Blog，真的要向那些無私的軟件開發人致敬。在他們的努力下，freeware對用家便多了一重意義-除了免費外，還有表達的自由（freedom to share）。
回說馬英九事件，我是完全不了解特區政府的想法。整個決定對中央，以至特區的形象都無甚好處。我會問，是否因為我對國情不了解，以至有此想法？我所認識的祖國，到底是一個怎麼樣的祖國？
相 信我這一代的香港人都和我一樣，對祖國的認知是由「六四」開始。現在回想，當時是把事情看得太簡單，想得太浪漫了。但無論怎樣說，這件事的發生，的的確確 影響了我對中國的認知。不管現在中國的國力怎樣的强大，中央政府怎樣的努力改善，一日不把六四那天的真相交代，一日我們還是活在昔日的謊言中，所聽見的承 諾亦只能半信半疑。
冀盼有一天袓國能衝破假、大、空的陰霾，成為真真正正、實實在在的大國。

New Year Resolution

Today is one of the coldest New Year Day ever in Hong Kong. So, I thank God that when my wife and I went to the Golden Coast for our annual New Year Resolution meeting, the sun was probably the brightest within these few days.

2004 was a year with lots of surprises. As an exemple, buying a new apartment changed a lot of our original planning for the first half of the year. When we looked back, we are far from when we wanted us to be on 1/1/2004, which I guess is a norm to most of us.

Looking forward to 2005, our goal is pretty much the same: spiritually, we want to be closer to God; physically, get fit; socially, be more involved in fellowship. The difference between last year resolution and this year's one is - We are getting more down to earth. Setting the goal more achievable, hopefully we can get closer to our target at the end of the year.

I wish all of us a healthy, fruitful 2005 with less disater, less war.

Happy New Year.
