自由開講》當《悲慘世界》在習近平面前響起

Quick Look

2026年9月24日,美國總統川普在白宮為中國國家主席習近平舉行國宴,美國軍方音樂單位演出音樂劇《悲慘世界》組曲,並演唱〈Do You Hear the People Sing?〉等段落。該歌曲曾在香港雨傘運動及反送中運動中被傳唱,黎智英仍在香港服刑。文章指出目前無公開證據證實選曲具有針對習近平的政治意涵,但強調歷史事實的共時性具備思考價值。

Why It Matters

文章敘述了2026年9月24日美國總統川普在白宮為中國國家主席習近平舉行國宴的事件,並描述了美國軍方音樂單位演出音樂劇《悲慘世界》組曲的情況。同時回顧了該歌曲在香港雨傘運動及反送中運動中的傳唱歷史,以及黎智英因國安罪被判監20年仍在服刑的事實。

2026年9月24日,美國總統川普在白宮為中國國家主席習近平舉行國宴。當晚,美國軍方音樂單位演出音樂劇《悲慘世界》組曲,習近平與彭麗媛就在現場。

公開影片中,可以聽見〈One Day More〉以及「Do you hear the people sing?」等段落。

請繼續往下閱讀...

〈Do You Hear the People Sing?〉是《悲慘世界》最著名的歌曲之一。故事背景涉及1832年巴黎起義,劇中學生與共和派人士築起街壘,準備參與起義,歌詞涉及人民集結、反抗與自由。

幾個關鍵事實值得放在一起看:

習近平人在現場。《悲慘世界》的旋律就在他出席的白宮國宴響起。

演出者是美國軍方音樂單位。

這首歌曾在香港民主運動中被傳唱。2014年雨傘運動及2019年反送中運動期間,都曾出現在香港抗議活動中。

這首歌一度無法在中國部分串流音樂平台找到。2020年《衛報》曾報導相關情況。

黎智英仍在香港服刑。《蘋果日報》創辦人黎智英2025年被裁定國安及煽動相關罪名成立,2026年2月被判監20年,川習會舉行時仍在獄中。

至於白宮為何安排《悲慘世界》,以及選曲是否具有針對習近平或中國政治體制的政治意涵,目前沒有公開證據可以證實。因此,不能把「刻意諷刺習近平」寫成事實。

但是,不推測動機,不代表歷史背景不存在。

〈Do You Hear the People Sing?〉曾在香港街頭響起;多年之後,《悲慘世界》的旋律在習近平出席的白宮國宴中再次出現,而黎智英仍在香港監獄服刑。

白宮為什麼選這首曲子,可以等待答案;但一首歌走過什麼歷史,人們不會因此忘記。

歷史耐人尋味之處,有時不在誰說了什麼,而在同一個時刻,哪些事實恰好站在了一起。

Free lectures》To prevent e-cigarettes from entering the campus, we cannot rely solely on penalties

The National Health Service of the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced that starting from September 8, 431 anonymous electronic cigarette delivery locations will be set up across the country for people to voluntarily hand over their electronic cigarette devices without leaving their names or personal information. This move is in line with the direction of amending the Tobacco Harm Prevention Act. If "possession of electronic cigarettes" is added as a target of punishment in the future, people who still possess electronic cigarettes after the buffer period may face fines of 30,000 to 100,000 yuan and confiscation. The article points out that the issue of e-cigarettes has expanded from personal consumption to a comprehensive issue of public health, youth protection and legal governance. It emphasizes that prohibition and heavy penalties alone are not enough. Education, counseling, investigation network and campus intervention are needed to truly reduce the circulation and health risks of e-cigarettes.

Editorial》Chinese people should be wary of who is whitewashing peace for the CCP

Chinese-American citizen Zhang Wanying was arrested by the FBI at Los Angeles International Airport on the 4th for allegedly spying on President Lai Ching-te's eldest son Lai Ting and his family in Seattle. Although the Trump-Xi meeting only maintains the status quo, Taiwan-U.S. relations are still advancing according to the established agenda. Arms sales, defense cooperation, and diplomatic interactions continue to heat up. At the same time, the CCP’s use of collaborators to carry out transnational surveillance and intelligence penetration is exposed and smashed, highlighting the ineffectiveness of deepening Taiwan-U.S. security cooperation and Beijing’s cognitive operations.
