【上天為何會負你?】
Why Did Heaven Let You Down?
拼啊!!! 所以請問那個小數點是在第一個號碼後面嗎?😁
不說你不知,約八年前,我曾經銀行戶口裡只剩下新幣$0.83。因為之前的生意,資金周轉有困難,某日凌晨一點,我發簡訊向我媽借錢。那是我長了那麼大,生平第一次這麼做。發簡訊,因為我不敢打電話向我媽開口。
當時,我是整個家族裡的唯一一個大學生,每逢過年,長輩們都問我為什麼不找個安分守己的工作。在他們面前,我彷彿就是那個吊兒郎當的人妻,老公辛苦工作,我什麼都不成。我無法交代為何自己會那麼落魄,因為我也不懂。
那時,只覺得老天對我太不公平了。
小時候,父母做生意困難,長大後,卻輪到我繼承相同的命運。
小時後,在家常常接聽債主們的「奪命追魂call」。長大後,在外常常接到銀行的「快點還錢call」。所以到現在,雖早就沒欠債,我依然不喜歡聽電話,連發簡訊都不喜歡。
這也就是為什麼,我並沒有提供電話號碼給你們聯絡我。
那天,一位馬國的客人說:「老師,你的收費很貴!你賺很多錢!」
我氣定神閒的答:「我修來的。」
苦瓜吃了半輩子,也該輪到我修成正果了吧!妹妹,你為我開心,也能因隨喜而修來福報呀!
一個人不會平白無故失敗的。
你問我要怎麼鹹魚翻身,那我問你,你是否已經能夠赤裸裸的面對你的缺點呢?
我們會失敗,必定是被自己的缺點給絆倒的。
你能夠放下傲慢,接受你認為刺耳的話時,就是你迎接第二個春天的開始了。
缺點就是我們的盲點,也是讓我們折福造業的源頭。
你當真是做生意的,應該很厲害算。
我若說出你有哪二十個缺點,你可以選擇糾結生氣埋怨投訴,甚至向左鄰右舍、祖宗十八代數落我。你也可以選擇狠下心來,把那二十個缺點來個「七十二變」,變成你二十個嶄新的優點。
聰明的生意人,你算一下,長遠來說哪一宗交易比較賺錢?
然後再仔細想想,是上天負了你,還是因為你選擇視若無睹,而負了你自己?
我不認為你可以改,我不認為你還有成功的機會,我又何必冒著名譽和生命危險來「坦誠相對」呢?做壞人貪好玩meh?😂
我們可以是自己最大的貴人,也可以是我們最大的敵人,一切全在你一念之間。
大家修的福報和功德數量,一定要比你們的身份證號碼還長!比萬里長城更長!做個福德綿綿不絕的善人!

Fight on! So excuse me, is the decimal point after the first number? 😁
You may not know this about me. About 8 years ago, I was so broke that I only have S$0.83 in my bank accounts. Because my previous business had cash flow problems, one night at 1am, I sent a SMS to my mum to borrow money from her. It was my first ever time doing that as a married adult. I sent the text message because I did not dare to call.
At that time, I was the only graduate in my entire clan. And every CNY, the elders would ask why I did not get a stable job. In their eyes, I was like that good-for-nothing married woman where the husband was toiling to make ends meet and me? Don’t know do what. I could not tell them how I ended up being so pathetic because even I myself didn’t know why.
I only felt Heaven was so unfair to me.
When I was a kid, my parents ran into difficulties managing their business. I sure did not expect myself to have the same destiny as them after I grew up.
As a little girl, I often answered calls from angry creditors at home. As an adult, I often received calls from the bank, snapping at my heels to pay up. So till now, even though I no longer owe the bank, I still do not like answering phone calls.
This is why I do not have any mobile number for you to contact me.
That day, a Malaysian client exclaimed, “Teacher, your fee is so expensive! You earn a lot of money!”
I replied calmly, “This is the fruit of my cultivation.”
Having reaped so many bitter fruits for the large part of my life, surely it should be my turn to enjoy some rewards. Sister, if you are happy for me, this virtuous thought will also earn you good fortune!
Nobody becomes a failure for no good reason.
You ask me how to rise from this lowest point in your life. Let me ask you this. Are you able to face your weaknesses squarely?
We fail because we are floundered by our weaknesses.
When you can squash your pride, and hear what you think are jarring words, that marks the beginning of your second Spring in life.
Our weaknesses are our blind spots, and the reason for our karmic transgressions and reduction in blessedness.
If you are a true businessman, you should be very shrewd in your calculations.
When I tell you the 20 weaknesses you have, you can choose to fly into a tantrum, grapple with the truth, bear grudges and complain about me to your neighbours and your ancestors of 18 generations.
You can also decisively transform that 20 weaknesses into your 20 brand new strengths!
Dear smart businessman, do your math and decide which makes a more profitable deal in the long run.
And then think over this, did Heaven let you down or did you let yourself down by turning your heart away from the obvious?
If I do not think you can change, if I do not think you still have a chance at success, why would I risk my reputation and my life to tell you the naked truth? You think it’s fun to be the b*tch? 😂
We can be our greatest benefactor and we also can be our greatest enemy. It’s all within that one thought.
May the amount of merits and good fortune you cultivate be as long as your IC number! What the heck! Let’s have it even longer than the Great Wall of China! Be a blessed person of endless good!

網上又有「藍能否變黃」的第N回討論。其實當然有成功例子啦。
被催淚彈殻射到爆缸仍記掛著翌日能否帶女友和未來外母去旅行。這是個可歌可泣的愛情故事。

雄仔(化名) 護士 31歲
2019年11月8日深夜,雄仔與女朋友路過旺角惠豐中心,遇上市民與防暴警對峙。他倆看見警察有異動,正想離開現場,但警方已開始發射催淚彈。彈殻擦過雄仔的頭部,即時血流如注,留下3cm的縫針疤痕。
「講起就激氣(光火),在前線受傷我反而開心。」當時旺角街頭有防暴警察列陣,市民向他們叫罵,「都係『撚狗』(調侃警察)。」然而「撚狗」會令警察暴怒,繼而報復,「現在他們把催淚彈當子彈用啦。」雄仔褂彩,同為護士的女朋友嚇得哭了,但他仍然冷靜,心想:「仆街了(靠)!明天還能飛嗎?」
因為參與抗爭,加上工時長,雄仔自6月以來都沒有好好陪伴女朋友,「她也是黃絲,覺得不應該拿這些事來詐型(發難),藏在心裏,但你會感受到她的不滿。」計劃已久的小旅行算是補償,還要帶著未來外母同遊,「始終是女孩,需要陪伴、關心,要有拍拖活動。」他去醫院縫針後,翌日按計劃出發。
雄仔的女友和家人知道他有上街遊行,卻不知道他是「家長」,助養了9名只有10幾歲的「子女」。8月18日的大型遊行,他到達終點後轉入夏愨道,看看有何事發生,「有人呼召社工,有個小朋友在哭、嚷著要自殺,因為屋企是藍絲。我想,我應該可以幫忙。」雄仔就此成為「家長」。子女又介紹其他子女,漸漸膝下承歡。
除了提供情緒支援,雄仔也為子女提供零用錢,「『文具』 好貴,我常叫他們以安全為先,有事就棄裝,再買過。」「仔女都好生性。要把塞錢偷偷攝入gear(抗爭裝備),怕他們不肯要。」「文具」就是防毒面具和濾罐,每套大約1000港元,「我有工作,可以撐住,只是花了積蓄,對不起女友啦。」至今他已花了6、7萬元在子女身上,「她知道我花了1000元都肉赤到死(心疼得要死),怎敢跟她說?」
需要接濟的少年很多來自建制家庭,因為政見而被斷糧草、甚至斷六親。 若雄仔晚生十幾年,他很可能是其中之一,「我爸是紅底。自細他就跟我說票投民建聯(親北京政黨),不然就脫離父子關係。」2016年立法會新界東補選,他仍是投民建聯的周浩鼎,2014年雨傘運動當然沒有參與,「之前的抗爭關於政制,可能我未感受到對人生自由有重大威脅。實行雙普選需要時間,香港社會始終未成熟。」直到政府強推《逃犯條例》修訂,他才感到刀刃在脖子上,「明明是一國兩制, 可以引渡逃犯,就會造成破窗。事事都要跟大陸接軌,要引入計分制(社會信用評分制度)嗎?」怕中港區隔蕩然無存。
在2019年11月的區議會選舉,雄仔首次「倒戈」,「大氣候是分顏色(政治立場)投票。我也不相信泛民主派,不信有救世主,但我就是要建制派輸。雖然我仍然覺以地區事務而言,建制派做到的比反對派多。」因為官僚樂於賣人情予建制派。雄仔有個親戚曾購買私煙,遇著海關放蛇,因為數量頗多,有轉售的嫌疑,房屋署以從事非法勾當為理由,想收回他的公屋單位。後來由建制派區議員出面求情,才得以過關,「如果找泛民議員幫手,房署不會給他面子。」
雄仔與家人住在狹小的公屋單位,因為要收藏大量「文具」,近月已搬到朋友家中。他與女友關係穩定,卻未想過同居,「租金貴,如果可以搬出來,就可以結婚啦。」「我女友很依賴、很需要照顧。待這件事(抗爭)完結再談吧,不然應付不了。她去旅行連目的地都不知道,帶行李去機場就是了。我計劃好行程,她便跟著我走。」

Hung(alias) 31 years old Nurse
In the middle of the night of November 8th, 2019, Hung and his girlfriend passed by Wai Fung Plaza in Mongkok and stumbled upon a confrontation between citizens and the riot police. The police fired tear gas bombs when the two started to leave. Hung was hit by a bullet case on his head, leaving a three-centimeter long scar.
“I get so mad every time I talk about this incident. It would have been worthwhile if I was injured at the frontline in a protest,” said Hung. At the time, there were riot police on the streets of Mong Kok. The public was yelling and having arguments with them. That made the police angry, so they retaliated. “Nowadays, the riot police use tear gas bombs as bullets,” said Hung. Hung’s girlfriend, a nurse, was crying from fear when he was hit. However, Hung was calm, only worrying about if he would need to cancel their trip for the day after.
Because of his participation in protests and long working hours, Hung hadn’t spent much time with his girlfriend since June. “She is also a pro-democracy supporter so she understands and never complains, but I knew she was upset about me not spending enough time with her. The get-away trip we had planned was considered to be ‘compensation’ for her. We were also taking my future mother-in-law with us. As a girl, I understand she wants company, care, and time from her boyfriend,” said Hung. After getting stitches at the hospital for his wound, Hung went on the trip.
Hung’s girlfriend and his family know that he participates in protests, but they don’t know he is also a “parent” who helps “raise” 9 teenagers. On the protest on August 18th, he was at Harcourt Road after the end of the protest. He heard someone calling for a social worker. A kid was crying and saying he wanted to commit suicide because his parents are pro-establishment supporters. Hung thought he could do something to help. That’s how he became a “parent” and ended up helping more kids.
In addition to providing emotional support, Hung also helps them financially by giving them money. “ ‘Stationery’ is expensive. I always remind them that safety is the first priority. They should leave their gear behind if they need to run. They can always repurchase their gear. These are good kids, and they don’t always accept my offers, so I need to secretly hide money into their gear for them,” said Hung. The ‘stationery’ is actually protective gear like gas masks and filter canisters. Each set costs approximately HK$1,000. “I have a job, so I can afford them. I spent my savings, so it made me feel bad for my girlfriend, as I didn’t tell her exactly how much I had spent on the kids,” said Hung. Until now, Hung had already spent over HK$60,000 to HK$70,000.
Most of the kids Hung helps are from pro-establishment families. Having different political views, these kids don’t get support from their families and are left with no money and no place to stay. Hung thinks if he were born ten years later, he could have been one of these kids. “My father is an extreme Beijing-backed establishment supporter. He has told me to vote for Democratic Alliance for the Betterment (DAB), a pro-Beijing party since I was a kid. Otherwise, he would disown me,” said Hung. Up until the 2016 New Territories East by-election in the Legislative Council, he still voted for DAB’s Chow Ho-ding, Holden. Of course, he didn’t participate in the Umbrella Movement in 2014. He said the previous protests were about the political system, so he might not have felt a major threat to his freedom then. “It took time to implement universal suffrage, and Hong Kong wasn’t ready.” It wasn’t until the government forced the revision of the “Fugitive Offenders Ordinance” that he finally realized, “If the one country two systems could extradite the fugitives, this change would become a breaking point, with everything in line with the mainland China.”
In the November 2019 District Council election, it was Hung’s first time he didn’t vote for the DAB, “Voters voted based on their political stance. I don’t believe the pan-democrats but I don’t want the pro-establishment parties to win either. Although I still feel that in terms of local affairs, the pro-establishment parties had done more,” said Hung, since the bureaucrats are willing to give favors to the pro-establishment parties. For example, a relative of Hung was caught buying illegal cigarettes, he was suspected of reselling them. The Housing Department wanted to take back his public housing unit on the grounds of engaging in illegal activities. Later, it was the district councilor of the pro-establishment party that helped resolve the issue.
Hung and his family live in a tiny public housing unit, which doesn’t allow him to keep all the ‘stationery’ there, so he moved in with his friend. But he never thought about moving in with his girlfriend. “Rent is expensive. If we could afford to move out, we would get married. She is very dependent and needs to be taken care of. We will wait and talk about marriage later until the civil rights protests are over,” said Hung.
