林先生的話.

The villagers in Shek Kong Choi Yuen Tsuen are suffering from the planning and design of the the Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link (XRL).Based on the government’s ordinance, their village will come to an end.

On Valentine's Day, we were accomplished the visit by a group of villagers touring a farm owned by Mr. Lam 30 years ago.
Mr. Lam have lived in his father’s land since he was born.
His father taught him all farming skills and the only skills he earned for living.
For many years, he tried his best to improve their quality of life.
His mother sells the vegetables in the nearby market.
He proudly said he contributes to people in Hong Kong.
He was frustrated by the Government’s Ordinance to terminate the usage of the land.
He said he cannot afford to pay the rent as farming is the only way he can earn money. It is not easy to go through the re-training and redeployment process. If he is moved out from his land, he will become jobless. He insisted he is unwilling to join the Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) Scheme.
Mr. Lam showed us his farm.
He through he lives in a place without future.
The reporter ask Mr. Lam “what kind of vegetables is your mother selling, local or imported?”
Mr. Lam replied his mother sells homemade products.
Mr. Lam questioned farm land should be reserved for farmer for living, it is inappropriate to use for rail development.
Mr. Lam questioned again, several years ago, in West rail development project, the Government levied millions acres of land from nearby villagers. The Government repeats the process in Shek Kong. It is not reasonable to levy more than enough farm land for rail development.
Mr. Lam through there will be no local farming products in future. It is not good to people in Hong Kong as well as the framers in New Territories.
He sent a letter to the Government to express his point of views but up to now, there is no reply.
The Reporter asked Mr. Lam “when did you send this letter?”
Mr. Lam replied he marked the date in the letter.
The Reporter showed a copy of the letter.
Mr. Lam expressed that he is still waiting for a reply.
Mr. Lam said, “For 30 years, I followed my father and mother growing vegetables, it not only a job, it is my career.
The Reporter asked, “How many family members did you have?”
Mr. Lam replied he has 3 elder sisters and 1 younger brother.
The Reporter summarized Mr. Lam’s points, “your father and mother brings up 5 children by growing and selling vegetables.
Mr. Lam said, “It is a pity if the Government is not permit farmer to farm in New Territories.”
Mr. Lam expressed that it is a mental impact because he will lose his career.
The Reporter asked, “How did your father and mother feel?”
Mr. Lam said “Both of them oppose the plan. They don’t want a public house. They only need a suitable place to rebuild their home. But, It is not easy to find a suitable place to re-start his career. Some of the nearby places were used by the car trade business. ”
Mr. Lam introduced the products to Reporter. He told the Reporter there are a lot of butterflies appear in the morning. He pointed out the land to be levied and West rail not far away.
Mr. Lam further explained his uncle is running a big bowl feast business, sometimes more than 200 guests join the feast. He tried to point out the place where the Reporter can find a lot of chairs there. He said his uncle his uncle is smart in his career. He through his uncle is not willing to move as well. They both worked together to bloom their businesses. He said the guests not only enjoy the food, but also the beautiful scenery. He also pointed out that the Government’s plan may contradict with the Environment Law. He pointed out again there are a lot of agriculture land. He through the Government was not well informed him in advance and requested him to move out in 2010.He repeated it is not an Earth friendly act. He guided the Reporter to see the accessories he built, including the wooden bridge to improve their surrounding area..

The villagers in Shek Kong

On Valentine's Day, we were accomplished the visit by a group of villagers touring a bee keeping farm owned by Mr. Yip 30 years ago.
Mr. Yip have lived in his grand father’s land since 1979.
Mr. Yip picked 4 rosemary to the lady.
I really love country life.
I have a dream. I hope I can live in my own house surrounded by flowers and fruit trees because I love fruits very much.
Mr. Yip showed the bread-like fruit to another lady.
The lady asked Mr. Yip whether he try the bread-like fruit or not.
Mr. Yip replied it is delicious.
Mr. Yip explained how to develop his own farm.
Mr. Yip explained he used green farming method to grow li zhi and long yan.
Mr. Yip hope that his family member will harvest the fruit to improve their living.
Mr. Yip introduced a blosson of mei hua to us.
The lady was attracted by the beautiful mei hua.
Mr. Yip emphasized that here is my home.
Mr. Yip showed the lady his farm land and honey making process.
Mr. Yip explained the breeding process of bee in Spring.
Mr. Yip showed us the hive, the honey and some ants.
Mr. Yip explained the hive was built by the bees.
The lady said the hive is vey well constructed.
Mr. Yip told us there are 2 kilograms of honey.
Another lady exclaimed it is fantastic.
Mr. Yip asked us to feel the weight.
Mr. Yip requested us to be careful.
Mr. Yip further explained that more than enough honey were provided. He plans to sell them.
Mr. Yip showed us the pollen, nectar and water.
Mr. Yip asked us to smell at the nectar.
Mr. Yip told us it is safe to smell the scent of the nectar.
Mr. Yip told us he is an expert in treatment by bee sting.
Mr. Yip showed us the bee pupa.
Mr. Yip asked us to watch a bee collecting honey.
The lady asked Mr. Yip about the process of making honey.
Mr. Yip explained the bee collects pollens as well as honey.
The lady asked Mr. Yip whether we are stealing honey from bees or not.
Mr. Yip explained he only collect the exceeded honey from bees.
He also explained that he feeds the bees with pollens.
Mr. Yip said the XRL will link Hong Kong to the Shibi Station at Guangzhou through the Futian Station and the Longhua Station at Shenzhen. For him, it is unlike to take a ride in Kowloon west. Another way is take a ride in Futian Station. Both ways are not convenient to him. It is reasonable to build a station to serve the millions of citizens in New Territory in term of time and money.
The banner shows “You have paid. You have no ride”.
Mr. Yip further requested the Government to establish a sound resettlement plan.
The banner shows “Stop our living. Sentence a penalty.”
He complained the letter replied by the Department concerned has no intention to answer the questions from the villagers.
He showed us the cabbage.
The young man showed us his trophy.

換地難矣

如果解決唔到寮屋身份, 唔好話換地, 上樓都未必有.

轉大陸更難, 之前譚強想係內地繼續養健味豬, 無一個地方容許搬上去, 結果香港豬場變魚塘。

雙贏的解決辨法

其實香港政府可不可以同大陸商量﹐容許港人把戶藉轉去大陸的農村﹐並容許港人擁有大陸農地。鄧女士喜歡田園生活﹐若果香港政府可以用以地換地的方式﹐讓她搬到大陸寧靜的鄉間繼續種菜﹐豈不是一個雙贏的解決辨法。
