看著蔡康永低頭的那份聲明,心裡面的感覺很複雜。
他是台灣這座島嶼上最懂「說話之道」的人。大半輩子在鏡頭前穿梭,用最熨帖、最溫潤的身段,教無數人如何把「餘地」二字嵌進人情世故裡。
那樣靈巧的智慧,到了那片龐大的市場裡,終究也沒能替自己周全。
兩岸,從來不存在平等的商業契約。
在正常的市場裡,才華換取報酬,銀貨兩訖,彼此留個體面。
但那邊的胃口不同,它給了你潑天的富貴,轉身便以「衣食父母」自居。那種「我賞你飯吃,你的思想就得歸我管」的權力傲慢,早已深入骨髓。
賺了它的銀兩,它就要連本帶利買斷你的立場、買斷你的言論,甚至連你選擇沉默的權利,都要一併收繳。
賺到它的錢,也窮到只剩下錢。
賺了中國的銀兩,它就要連本帶利買斷你的立場、言論,甚至是選擇沉默的權利。賺到它的錢,也窮到只剩下錢;示意圖。(彭博)
不怪他軟弱,也不怪他為利益折腰。他至少試圖表達過,已經與眾不同。
在那個市場的龐大的機器底下,一個公眾人物哪裡能夠只代表自己?
他一人的背後,那是整個製作團隊的生計、經紀合約的違約金,以及無數靠此營生的工作人員。
商業利益結構精準地拿捏住每個人的軟肋。一人不跪,整船人沉沒。為了保住身後的無辜者,往往只能交出自己的靈魂。
一個把語言修煉到極致的文化人,用盡了一生的修養與情商,撞上那堵蠻橫的高牆時,所有的智慧終究還是化成了無處著力的棉花。
在絕對的權力面前,根本沒有真正的說話之道,只有跪和不跪。
同情他,是因為看見了一個肉體凡胎在極權巨獸底下的身不由己。
而這份同情也早已化為一記清醒的警鐘──
在島嶼上能挺直腰桿說一句真話、喝一杯熱茶,看起來那麼尋常,其實,真他媽奢侈。
自由得來不易,好好投票!

The Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing, focusing on "comprehensive and strict governance of the party." Akio Yaita's analysis pointed out that this meeting reflected the institutional dilemma of Xi Jinping's anti-corruption, paved the way for the continuation of the 21st Party Congress in 2027, and was in sharp contrast to the reform direction of the 1981 historical resolution.

Taiwan should strengthen its substantive defense readiness and deepen cross-party support from the United States.
