恐怕緬甸已被遺忘了

四川的災情佔了新聞報導的大部份空間,全城的關注已向四川完全傾斜。香港相信只剩下極少數市民和志願團體繼續關心緬甸。我是其中一個,我工作的機構是其中一間。 當然我明白即使沒有四川的地震,也不表示香港會十分關注緬甸的災情;畢竟我們對緬甸人沒有血濃於水的情懷,若不是去年九月穿著朱砂紅袍的僧侶走上街頭起義,我們也許沒有丁點緬甸的知識。然而那涼血無恥的政府也迫著關心的人卻步,所以不十分關心緬甸也是無可厚非的。 只是個人而然,我惦念緬甸比四川更甚。不是說同胞不慘,但你看有幾多人幾多錢幾多注意力在他們身上?全國上下一心賑災,國家總理國家主席交替走進災區指揮救援,就是做戲也交足功課。但緬甸人民呢?他們在這艱難的時刻,有心幫的不得其門而入;自己的政府卻只顧穩定政權。最叫我難受的是,四川災民的苦情仍然可以被世界看見,但緬甸災民的哀傷和痛苦卻密封在鐵幕裹。 我覺得緬甸人的命真苦,以為可借助去年的迦裟起義取得國際支援而改變國運,但鎮壓下去了就消聲匿跡;今次風災也許又是一個機會讓國際援助打開鐵幕封鎖,但轉眼又好夢成空。到底緬甸人民可以怎樣理解盼望? 緬甸以外的人,包括我們,不遺忘緬甸,可會令盼望變得具體一點嗎?

天崩地裂的地和我、午飯和收獲

1) 5月天崩地裂,帶走了很多生命,留下很多手尾和反省。不太敢留意新聞,吃不消。但是消息自動找上門,在仰光的好友今天送來電郵,避無可避,忍無可忍,心頭重得很。 Dear Ming Yee, I hope you have already known the disaster we faced in Myanmar. This was the worst destruction we faced in Myanmar. We never have such kind of disaster. People are facing difficulty for their lives. We are saved but some parts of the Centre are damaged by it. Not only our buildings, trees are destroyed but also our mind is also destroyed because it causes lot of difficulties for lives of people. I know that our good friends from Hong Kong will remember us and pray for us. I hope God's graceful love and compassion to be with us and heal us. Please continue to remember us and encourage our Myanmar friends, especially Kay Thy. I think she will not have enough strength to continue her study. Please encourage her and pray her to accomplish her study well. May God Bless you and your family, Aye Nwe. 2) 昨天跟一個弟弟級的同學午飯,很有收獲。主要是他幫助我明白多一點男性在女性主義神學面前的確會出現有心無力的限制,而限制只因著男性不能有女性的經驗。我相信他,因他嘗試過做女性主義神學,過程中
