摘要 Abstract
2019年反送中運動後迎來香港人大移動,港人心酸自嘲「走難」,於移動性協商中兼有個體求存與未來想像。本文擬概念化「撤離的日常化」,探討自此香港居民隨時做好準備移動/撤離的現象,理解「撤離」做為特定型態的移動,帶有三重動機:避險、具有未來性、尋求他方。「撤離」做為個人在政治危機高壓情勢下的短期生存戰略,望住先(邊走邊看);或心向共同體存續,尋求一跨境、分散又延展相連之生存策略。初步發現:撤離前往英國和臺灣的比例偏多;撤離並非短暫動作,而持續在日常中醞釀發酵。「撤離」意識未必在離港後停下。另類的「共識」浮現於移動中的港人覺察──無論此刻在何處,撤離之日常化以不同形式存在,「香港」做為移動出發點,亦似是恆久目的地。

關鍵詞:撤離的日常化、移動性、香港、臺灣
Hongkongers ridiculed the unprecedented movement of the citizens since 2019 as an example of zau naan (“going into exile” or “evacuation as refugees”), which can be analyzed as mixed efforts in search of individual survival and futurity. This paper explores the “normalization of evacuation” involving Hongkongers who have been seemingly planning to move/evacuate at any minute after the anti-extradition movement. We consider the current emergence of evacuation as based on three motivations: avoiding danger, searching for futurity, and seeking “hometown” elsewhere. It is both a short-term survival tactic for individual Hongkongers to cope with the increased political pressure and a strategy for a collective Hong Kong community to survive across borders in a distributed and yet connected form. Our preliminary research found that most Hongkongers have been evacuating towards the UK and Taiwan. Evacuation, however, does not stop after relocation but continues to work in evacuees’ everyday lives; neither Taiwan nor the UK is totally promising. The three kinds of motivation of evacuees cannot be necessarily satisfied anywhere. In this light, we discuss an alternative consensus shared among Hongkongers wherever they end up─Hongkongers manage to normalize their sense of evacuation, thus rendering “Hong Kong” as both a point of departure and a permanent destination.
