2025年3月10日西藏自由抗暴日國際紀念會議的發言
女士們、先生們、朋友們、為自由而戰的戰友們， 今天，我們聚集在一起，緬懷 1959 年這一天奮起反抗壓迫的勇敢西藏人民。 他們反抗殘酷的勢力，要求獲得作為自由人民生存的權利，保護他們的文化、信仰和尊嚴。 儘管他們的聲音遭到暴力對待，但他們的精神仍然堅定。 他們的鬥爭並沒有在1959年結束——鬥爭一直持續到今天，我們對西藏的支持也一直持續到今天。
當我站在你們面前時，我不僅作為一個西藏的支持者發言，而且作為一個來自香港的人——一個同樣面臨專制統治日益嚴厲的地方。 我們也看到我們的自由被剝奪，我們的聲音被壓制，我們的人民因敢於夢想民主而被監禁。 我們懂得反抗、拒絕被消滅、不顧一切地繼續戰鬥意味著什麼。
台灣人民也站在最前線，抵抗日益增長的自由威脅。 今天，在烏克蘭，我們看到一個國家正在為生存而與旨在摧毀其主權的帝國主義入侵作鬥爭。 這些鬥爭並不是孤立的。 當今的獨裁者——無論是在北京、莫斯科或其他地方——都在相互觀察、相互學習、相互支持。
西藏的戰鬥和香港的戰鬥是相連的。 烏克蘭的抵抗運動與台灣的鬥爭緊密相連。 這些不僅僅是地區問題； 這是對世界的警告。 如果我們不堅決反對一個地方的壓迫，壓迫就會像野火一樣蔓延。 我們必須捫心自問：世界還需要多少地方倒塌才能甦醒？ 還要有多少人喪命，我們才會採取立場？ 獨裁者靠著沈默、不作為和相信世界將會改變的信念而得以生存。 這就是為什麼我們必須反其道而行。 我們必須大聲疾呼，採取更大膽的行動，向他們表明，那些相信自由的人團結起來會更強大。
對於西藏人民、對於香港同胞、對於台灣、烏克蘭的兄弟姐妹以及所有被暴政試圖摧毀人類精神的地方，我想說：你們並不孤單。 你的戰鬥就是我們的戰鬥。 只要你們站起來，我們就會與你們站在一起。 願世界今天聽到我們的聲音。 願我們永不停止抵抗。 願有一天，西藏、香港、台灣、烏克蘭和所有被壓迫的人民都能獲得自由。 謝謝。
Thanks for inviting me to this conference. Ladies and gentlemen, friends, and fellow fighters for freedom, Today, we gather to remember the courageous Tibetans who, on this very day in 1959, rose up against oppression, CCP China. They stood against a brutal force, demanding their right to exist as a free people, to protect their culture, their faith, and their dignity. Though their voices were suppressed with violence, their spirit remain unbroken. Their struggle did not end in 1959—it continues today, and so does our solidarity with Tibet.
As I am here today, I speak not only as a supporter of Tibet but also as someone from Hong Kong, a place that has faced dictator’s rule. We, have seen our freedoms being taken away, our voices silenced, and our people imprisoned for fighting for democracy. We understand what it means to resist, to refuse to be erased, and to keep fighting.
Today, the people of Taiwan, too, stand on the frontlines, resisting growing threats against their freedom. And today, in Ukraine, we see a nation fighting for its very survival against an invasion by a dictator aimed at crushing its sovereignty. These struggles are not isolated. The dictators of today—whether in Beijing, Moscow, or elsewhere—are watching each other, learning from each other, and supporting one another.
The battle in Tibet is connected to the battle in Hong Kong. The resistance in Ukraine is tied to the fight for Taiwan. These are not just regional issues; they are warnings to the world. If we do not stand firm against oppression in one place, they will get together oppressing people asking for freedom. We must ask ourselves: how many more places must fall before the world wakes up? How many more lives must be lost before we take a stand? Dictators win because of silence, inaction, on the belief that the world will turn away. That is why we must do the opposite. We must speak louder, act bolder, and show them that those who believe in freedom are stronger together. Thats the reason why we have to stand together, supporting each other, including Tibet, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Ukraine and those who are fighting against a dictator.
To the people of Tibet, to my fellow Hongkongers, to our brothers and sisters in Taiwan, Ukraine, and everywhere tyranny seeks to crush the human spirit—I say this: You are not alone. Your fight is our fight. And as long as you stand, we will stand with you. The world now is now having a heavy storm. The supposed beacon of democracy, the U.S. is no longer supporting democracy anymore. We must be very careful, stand up, voice out and we shall keep a very close eye on what is happening. Be prepared. May the world hear our voices today. May we never stop resisting. And may one day, Tibet, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Ukraine, and all peoples in mainland China being oppressed stand free. That’s all I want to share with you today. Thank you.
