直到胖女人唱歌為止，它一直沒有結束，但是可悲的是，胖女人唱歌得太早了，脆弱的蝴蝶飛走了。

當我2000年在網上結識Charlene並打橋牌時，她是一位成功的女商人。她在網上訂購了許多法國和意大利產品，然後運往台灣，她嘗試了一切，她吃了任何東西，任何動物，水果或蔬菜的任何部分，食物都是她一生中很重要的一部分。 2000年我第一次在現實生活中遇見她時，她看上去就像電影明星。 2007年，這個女孩選擇放棄自己的生活，放棄了我們認為是家庭的最好的朋友，失去了她的工作，並賣掉了在台北的公寓與我同住。我告訴她：從現在開始，您將在餘生中度假，我信守諾言。

夏琳（Charlene）想要在荷蘭說些什麼，並開始在博客中建立新的個性，而不是利用她在台灣的名氣。她從零開始慢慢建立起來，如今在多個小組和平台中擁有超過213.000忠實的粉絲和追隨者。夏琳（Charlene）一直對旅行和歐洲美食感興趣，退休後的夢想是成為一名作家並住在屋頂傾斜的歐洲國家（尤其是法國或意大利）的房屋中。我們住在荷蘭一個不壞的公寓裡，屋頂平整，她非常喜歡這個溫馨的家庭。

在荷蘭，她開始寫烹飪書，在她變得更出名之後，一些出版商要求她翻譯書籍：例如尼吉拉·勞森，傑米·奧利弗和戈登·拉姆齊。即使在醫院進行重度化療時，她也一直在這樣做，甚至在她即將更正最新版本時也是如此。我們到了很多地方，都是隨機挑選的，只是四處逛逛，常常幾個小時都沒有遇到其他人或汽車。我們住在漂亮的公寓裡，大部分是在小城市和鄉村，或者在茫茫荒野中。我們看到了美麗的事物，吃了美味的食物，過著像本地人一樣的生活，輕鬆而
又沉悶。

自2017年10月以來，我和我的蝴蝶夏琳女王（Charlene）戰鬥了三年多。她獨自在醫院的無菌室里呆了6個月，我們已經隔離了一年多。起初，我們似乎可以戰勝這些可怕的癌症。這次夏琳只想要一點運氣，但無濟於事。夏琳心地善良，總是對他人意味著最好，她努力工作，堅韌而甜美，從不抱怨，對生活中的小事感到滿意。

從2020年8月開始，我們在意大利度過了最後兩個假期。錫耶納（Siena）讓她感到非常高興，“我有史以來最好的假期”。她的夢想是去第二個假期，直到下一個生日，我擔心那是非常樂觀的。夏琳對我們無法前往法國普羅旺斯的呂貝隆感到失望，因為我們最初計劃了第二個假期，2003年我們在此度過了第一次假期。不幸的是，荷蘭政府突然宣布法國的許多地區為“橙色”，我們剛預訂後就因為高電暈風險而禁止進入。西班牙也在名單上：一個我從未訪問過的國家，她想向我展示，西班牙全是橙色。

她完成了五件事，這在以前似乎幾乎是不可能的：我們2020年5月1日成立20週年，以及兩次浪漫的意大利長假。第一次去意大利的錫耶納和她最喜歡的Val d'Orcia，第二次去意大利的Lago Maggiore的斯特雷薩，那裡她的身體明顯較弱，但仍然非常欣賞令人嘆為觀止的景色和9月的夏日天氣，由於水的問題，再次搬到錫耶納（Siena），這使她感到自己在第二故鄉，感到非常高興！最近，她是荷蘭公民12年，而13年前移居荷蘭。我敢/希望認為這是因為她感到幸福，安全和得到了照顧。她的最終目標是她的生日（12月16日），很遺憾，這太樂觀了。

我們很享受，我們吃飯，我們哭了，我們笑了很多，我們彼此珍惜，我們聊了很多小時，一切都說了，不後悔。我們是一個。夏琳（Charlene）擔心我成為一個人，一個人呆著，為失去她感到難過，我為她錯過的一切感到非常抱歉，希望她能和我們在一起更長的時間。我們比以往任何時候都更加緊密。我非常愛她，她將永遠在我心中，會非常想念她！我好寂寞。

將來我會回到我們一起去過的地方。從4月底到2021年6月初，我們在意大利計劃，預訂並支付了“在電暈之后慶祝/征服癌症假期”的費用。如果Corona允許我，我現在仍然想走，但是那是對未來的“遙遠”，吸取了Charlene和我們過去的所有假期，我可能會稍作更改。我們計劃了很多事情，所以對你們所有人：Carpe Diem！不要延遲或推遲您的目標，願望或清單。我會保留她的個人資料，並嘗試不時發布一些內容，我不能總是閱讀所有評論並回复它們，但放心，我會注意到它們。對於跟隨Charlene到公寓和飯店旅行的朋友：請提及她以保持生命，以免被遺忘。

如果您決定做出回應，請做出有意義的回應。不要有空洞，空洞，無所事事或宗教用語，否則請不要回應，我倆都很好，我知道你也會想念她。

It aint over till the fat lady sings, but sadly the fat lady sang too early and the fragile butterfly flew away.

When I met Charlene in 2000 online, playing bridge, she was a successful businesswoman. She ordered lots of French and Italian products online to ship to Taiwan, she tried everything, she ate anything, any part of any animal, any fruit or vegetable, food was an important part of her life. The moment I first met her in real life in 2000 to me she looked like a movie star. In 2007 this girl chose to give up her life, her best friends we consider family, her work and sold her apartment in Taipei to live with me. I told her: From now on you will be on a Holiday for the rest of your life and I kept my promise.

Charlene wanted to mean something in Holland and started to create a new personality in a blog, not using her fame from Taiwan. She slowly built it up from nothing and today has more than 213.000 loyal fans and followers in several groups and platforms. Charlene has always been interested in travel and European food and her dream after retirement was to become a writer and live in a house in a European country with a slanted roof, preferably in France or Italy. We lived in a not bad apartment in Holland with a flat roof which she loved so much, home sweet home.

In Holland she started to write cooking books, after she became more famous, she was asked by several publishers to translate books: Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay for instance. She has been doing this even when she was on heavy chemotherapy in hospital, even just before the end she was correcting the last version. We traveled to many places, randomly picked, just drove around, often not meeting any other person or car for hours. We stayed in beautiful apartments, mostly in small cities and villages or in the middle of nowhere. We saw beautiful things, ate fantastic food, lived life like a local, relaxed, but never a dull moment.

Charlene the truffle queen, my butterfly and I fought since October 2017 for more than three years. She has been in a sterile room alone in hospital for 6 months, we have been in quarantine for more than a year. At first it looked like we would conquer these horrible cancers. All Charlene wanted was a little luck this time, but to no avail. Charlene had a good heart and always meant the best for others, she worked hard, she was tough and sweet, she never complained, and she was happy with the little things in life.

From August 2020 we have been on our last two Holidays in Italy. Siena made her extremely happy, “My best Holiday ever” she said. Her dream was to go on a second Holiday and reach her next birthday, I was afraid that was quite optimistic. Charlene was disappointed we could not travel to the Luberon in the Provence in France, where we originally planned our second Holiday, where we had our first Holiday together in 2003. Unfortunately, the Dutch government suddenly declared many regions in France as “orange”, no go areas because of high Corona risks just after we booked. Spain was also on the list: A country I have never visited, and she wanted to show me, Spain was all orange.

Five things she accomplished, which earlier seemed nearly impossible: Our 20th anniversary May 1st, 2020 and two romantic long Holidays to Italy. The first to Siena, Italy and her favourite Val d’Orcia and the second to Stresa at Lago Maggiore, Italy where she was clearly weaker, but still immensely enjoyed the breathtaking views and the summery weather in September, where due to water problems we had to move, to Siena again, this made her feel at her second home, she was so happy! Recently she was a Dutch citizen for 12 years and moved to Holland 13 years ago. I dare/wish to think it was because she felt happy, safe and taken care of. Her final goal was her birthday (December 16th), unfortunately that was too optimistic.

We enjoyed, we dined, we cried, we laughed a lot, we cherished each other, we talked for many hours, everything has been said, no regrets. We were one. Charlene was worried for me to be and stay all alone and was sad for me losing her and I felt so sorry for all the things she missed out on, wished she would have stayed with us longer. We have been closer than ever before. I love her very much, she will always be in my heart, will miss her so much! I feel so lonely.

In the future I will go back to the places we have visited together. From the end of April till the beginning of June 2021 we planned, booked and paid an “after Corona, celebration / conquer cancer Holiday” in Italy. I now still want to go if Corona lets me, but that is “far” into the future, having learned from Charlene and all our past Holidays, I might change it slightly. We had planned so many things, so to all of you: Carpe Diem! Do not delay or postpone your goals, wishes or bucket list. I will keep her profile alive and try to post something now and then, I cannot always read all comments and reply to them, but rest assured, I will notice them. For the friends that follow Charlene’s travels to apartments and restaurants: Please mention her to keep her alive so that she will not be forgotten.

If you decide to respond, please respond meaningful. No hollow, empty, idle or religious phrases, else please do not respond at all, both are equally fine with me, I know you will miss her too.

〔白人前線巴的孤獨與哀愁〕

去年秋天，每周末都有示威，在路障的附近，在水炮車的面前，在防線的最前，勇武抗爭者之中有一個男子，獨來獨往的。其他人作blackbloc打扮，或會露出一點皮膚，或可看到眼睛或手臂，但他刻意從頭包到腳，丁點兒一點隙縫也不會露出來。

偶一不慎，頭巾滑下了，給「手足」窺見到他的臉容時，別人的反應總是誇張的「嘩！」不會說廣東話的John（化名）模仿着這個新學習回來的粵語單字，雙手揚起，身體忽然靠後，眼睛瞪大，還加一個詞：「鬼佬！」「I know, it means ghost。」他帶點不好氣，自嘲地微笑着說。

John說，在前線只遇過南亞裔青年，白人他則鮮有遇到，雖然早前一名澳洲籍女教師襲警罪成判監三個月。即使坊間有輿論宣揚反修例運動涉及「外國勢力」，圖文並茂指現場出現一些「白人指揮官」（不少是外媒記者），但真正參與其中的白人卻少之又少。

阿John更透露，身為白人，在現場並不是那麼受歡迎。

因為示威者以為他是「白撞」：「前線的人會推我走，以為我不知道自己身處險境，他們會跟我說，You are not local, this is dangerous, Go!」又或者太過禮貎地說「多謝Thankyou!」這些都令John感到尷尬。性格內歛的John唯有在氣候悶熱的香港把自己包得有咁密得咁密，也防止自己被警方點相。

阿John去年夏天，從西方國家來港，他形容，他認識的白人圈子，對這場運動的態度有兩種。一是完全迴避，即使心態上支持香港人爭取民主，但不想惹麻煩，又會覺得：「爭取的話，堅持和平示威就可以，任何暴力都不能接受。說完這些論調，他們周末會醉心玩樂，最愛clubbing, 去酒吧喝酒，去海灘開派對。」

另一種白人會去示威現場，利用自己的種族優勢，自拍打卡：「有些白人遊客，拿着啤酒於抗爭現場，拍照放上網，態度輕挑，消費香港人的抗爭，濫用自己的種族優勢，令我很光火。」

阿John來自西方國家，自小關心世界公義，修讀的學科亦訓練他的思維，尤其對壓迫和反抗，公平等議題有所反思。

來港之前，他只對香港略有認知，聽過雨傘運動但沒有深究，知道香港曾是殖民地，是個現代大都市，和中國有點不同。但他指，家鄉的人對香港認識很皮毛：「至少以前，一般西方人都會以為香港就是中國，他們問候我，都只會問『你在中國過得怎麼樣？』（意指香港）」

來港之前，碰上反修例運動爆發，有人擔心他安危，勸他取消行程。「我最初的想法是不會參與這件事，但我十分好奇，一個如此穩定的先進城市，發生大型社會運動是怎樣的？」

在港之後，他曾到現場看看，思想亦受改變：「在傳媒裡看到的，是警察與示威者對壘，還以為是兩班人在公平比拼。因為在傳媒裡只看到最核心的示威者。」

「怎知去到現場，看到的畫面讓我很震撼，警察和示威者，雙方權力懸殊。不是甚麼公平較勁，示威者是很年輕的細路，但衝出來的警察卻是海量的，裝備是軍隊級的。根本不是對壘，只是示威者先做一些事，警察再出來做一些事。」

他陷入思想掙扎，再由本地朋友那裡了解到721、831事件，明白到本地人為何麼憤怒，「事情比我想像的更不公平，我不能袖手旁觀。每一次我想到，若我缺席，就有多一個年輕人給警察打或拘捕，我就過意不去。我覺得去參與是做對的事，我一生從沒有覺得有這種做有意義的事的感覺。」內歛的John，說得慢條斯理，語氣平和。

John最初認識了一班和理非的銀髮族，一起參加和平遊行。他亦使用電子軟件，接收抗爭資訊：「按手機看，全部是廣東話來的，我開始認得一些字，又或者乾脆在Google Translate裡翻譯。」

為保障自身安全，他對自己要求嚴格，「每次落場，我都早一點去現場看一看環境，永遠獨個兒行動，保持冷靜頭腦。會預想遇到危險要怎樣逃走，時刻保持警覺。」催淚彈，橡膠子彈，水炮車，他全中過，每次僥倖全身而退。

但John知道，真正保護了他的，卻不是勇氣智慧，而是與生俱來的皮囊：「若我不是白人，我應該被拘捕了很多次。」他指出，一個殘酷的事實是，自己的膚色帶來極大好處，面對警察，比一般本地人容易脫身。「就是因為這樣，我更加不能不去現場，幫得就幫。」語氣裡有點不好意思。

運動後期，他因為過度疲勞，加上經歷不少創傷畫面，一度情緒低落，看到警察就會心跳加速和焦慮。但當他和記者坐在餐廳裡，還是忍不住不斷查看手機，看看商場的「和你sing」進行得怎樣，有沒有人受傷被捕，他的神情裡有一種關切和焦慮，對我們面前的美食不屑一顧。

「我的心情是，只要那天有示威集會，我沒辦法不理會，沒法子安心去享受假期，吃好東西或去開派對。」我問，這種心態，會不會很像本地人。「對，我的思維已經把自己當作香港的一份子。所以我感到特別孤獨。因為沒有人有我的背景，卻有我這種想法。」

一個白人過客，為何對這場運動，負肩起一種「不能缺席的責任？」

「在運動裡，我與本地人並肩一起，看到整場公民抗命運動裡，年輕的，快樂的，友善的示威者，我看到一種團結精神，大家互相幫助，滿有創意和幽默感。 我記得一次看到現場有人竪立起抗爭女神的雕像，一起唱《願榮光歸香港》，那個畫面是整場運最美麗的記憶，讓我感動得全身起雞皮。」

然而這位愛思考的宅男，仍不忘反思運動的不足：「在運動的中後期，我看到有些參與者偏激了，讓情緒蓋過了理智，行為過了火位，有些示威者把自己當作動作電影主角一樣，我擔心，也失望。另外，『私了』的行為我不贊同，有時我也會遊說示威者別衝動。」

對於警察，他這樣形容：「警察有好也有壞的，有些壞得很，以惡劣態度對待示威者為樂趣；但我也有遇到專業而耐性的警員，兩種警察我也碰到過。另外，速龍真是跑得很快，令人害怕。」John本身是運動健將，體能不錯。

「我了解警察都是平凡人，因為學歷原因或供養家庭的緣故，不得不做這份工。我嘗試不去憎惡他們。但我也親身經歷了警暴，試過看到警察從私家車下來掃射我，真是令我害怕。但即使如此，每次我出去示威，即使身心俱疲，但我仍覺得自己在做對的事。」

John記得，第一次去示威現場，一片混亂，一名陌生的女子，替他戴上防毒面具。

「在我自己的國家，人和人的關係不是那麼親切，好冷漠，我們甚麼都已經爭取得到了，不需要我們打拼。反而在香港這個陌生的地方，你看到大家一起為甚麼而努力的感覺，這令我對香港有一種深厚的感情，覺得這裡活着更真實，更能體驗到人性美善。雖然大家覺得西方社會甚麼都好，但我反而覺得，在香港跟本地人相處，這裡的人更友善，更親切，更讓我嘗到快樂。」

（訪問早於2020初完成，因為肺炎疫情，文章刊出的時候，阿John已安全離開香港。）
