序言 何處是吾家 ? 接近凌晨時份，途徑深水 近年來，香港的露宿朋友很難安寢。處事的部門暗地裏有一個「露宿者不友善政策」，將露宿地點圈成「黑點」，以為露宿現象會從此消失。最起初是在公園木椅中間加裝把手、橋底建起凹凸不平的石頭，用各種隱性辦法妨礙露宿。近兩年手法變本加厲：多個政府部門以大型花盆及鐵絲網圍封九龍城及渡船街天橋底，又在清晨突擊清場，將露宿者的家當通通拋上垃圾車。 自1999年起，香港社區組織協會攜手本港攝影記者和文字記者，持續紀錄露宿者街頭生存實況。這次我們第三度舉辦露宿者攝影展「野宿三」並出版同名攝影集，與公眾分享跨越15年的紀錄，細述露宿者面對政府驅趕時的無奈和勇敢，面對人生逆境時的無助和堅韌。我們熱切期望著，這種紀錄能成為改變的開端，喚起政府，也喚起社會有心人對露宿者的關注。 香港社區組織協會主任 二零一四年二月

封橋 過往十多年來，油麻地渡船街天橋底一直是無家可歸者的借宿之地。近年來橋底露宿者中，南亞裔朋友漸漸增多，這個偏僻的角落被他們稱為'Downtown'。 2013年4月10日早上，一群南亞裔露宿者一覺醒來，竟然發覺他們睡覺的木板上貼了一張地政署冷冰冰的告示，白紙黑字通知他們：2013年5月7日之後，渡船街橋底就要被封 ，繼續逗留官地即屬違法。 事實上，早於2011年時，油尖旺區議會兩位民建聯區議員就提出動議，封閉渡船街天橋底，區議會最後決議動用253萬，推行渡船街天橋底綠化區工程，在天橋底加建圍欄及擺放200個巨型石屎花盤，目的是：(1) 防止露宿者聚集及(2) 美化/綠化工程 儘管一群露宿者發起行動，抗議被驅趕，立法會議員也一再譴責，但油尖旺區議會'睬你都傻'，2013年8月，橋底被封了。 Closure of a bridge Over the past 10 years or so, the area under the bridge at Yau Ma Tei's Ferry Street had been a shelter for the homeless, among which many were of Southeast Asian origin. They called the desolate site "Downtown." On the morning of April 10th, a handful of South Asian homeless people woke up to find a notice from the Lands Department posted to the wooden planks they used as beds. The notice stated that after May 7th, the area would be closed down for refurbishment, and loitering or residing there would be considered illegal. In fact, as early as 2011, two district councilors from DAB had in fact proposed to clean up the area. The council eventually decided to spend HK$2.53 million for a greening project, which involved fencing off the area and placing 200 concrete flower planters under the bridge. The goals were: (1) To prevent homeless
people from gathering in the area, and Despite the protests
of homeless people and lawmakers, the district council was adamant
about the greening project. In August 2013, the area was closed
down. (左圖)橋底加建了凹凸不平的鵝卵石和小山丘，露宿者要睡個好覺也不容易。 (Left photo)With pebbles and artificial mounds installed under the bridge, street sleepers can hardly have a good night sleep. |

隧道情緣 灣仔這條隧道行人不多，走在其中靜得聽到自己的腳步聲，但自從阿立和阿敏住進這裡，冷冰冰的地洞就一下子熱鬧起來。這對年輕情侶開朗健談，社工還在數十米之外他們便起身揮手示意，連他們的貴賓Dounaut 也熱情得想將整個身子立起來抱著你。 但住到隧道裏，一切都不方便，這裏不僅有冷風陣陣，還有路人的冷漠眼光，為了躲避這些，阿立和阿敏只好找來硬紙皮，搭建一間臨時小屋。如何管住Dounaut 也是個問題。有一次睡到深夜，Dounaut走失了，兩人四處搜尋，最後才發覺Dounaut 已被送往薄扶林附近的漁農自然護理署，為了領回它，兩人步行了好幾個小時。 「愛情是什麼？那就是不管他學歷有多高，收入有多少，住高樓別墅還是露宿街頭，你依舊愛他。」阿立和阿敏的故事或許就是最好的詮釋...... |

Underground Love Before the arrival of Ah Lap and Ah Man, the subway in Wanchai was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Yet the cold underground tunnel now radiates joy as the couple and their pet dog Dounaut welcome social workers to their make-shift shelter. Yet living underground is by no means easy. One not only has to brace for bitter winds but also the stone-cold gazes from pedestrians. Using cardboard wastes as raw materials, Ah Lap and Ah Man still manage to build a temporary love nest that allows them to have some privacy. Taking care of Dounaut is another issue. The dog once ran away during the night and both thought they had lost it forever. It was later found that Dounaut had been sent to the government animal shelter in Pokfulam, where the couple spent hours to reach on foot and to bring it home. "What is love? It is the conviction to stand by someone regardless of him/her being rich or poor." Years later, I find the saying true and alive in the story of Ah Lap and Ah Man...... |

我好硬淨，又好硬頸 還在經營報紙攤檔之時，阿寶決定接手朋友銷售影音設備的業務。這是一項很大的業務，但夫婦二之還是決定放膽一試。起初業務發展良好。不過後來一間大型電子影音連鎖店在隔鄰開業後，阿寶的生意便開始受到打擊。為了守業，阿寶一家把居所再抵押，又花清所有積蓄，但都未能成功。最終，他們決定停業。 「我甚至唔能夠搵人接手盤生意。我乜都無哂。」阿寶說。後來阿寶做了最大的錯誤──他拿著僅餘的五萬元儲蓄，乘船到澳門，然後賭輸精光了。「我望可以用賭錢贏番」他說，「但係當然唔成功。」阿寶回港後不能面對家庭……比起失去自己的家庭，居無定所的艱辛也算不上什麼...... |

The man who can't
be moved Ah Po, who was at the time running a newspaper stall business, decided to take up a friend's business selling audio-visual equipment. It was a big undertaking, but the couple decided to go ahead. The business did well in the beginning. But then a large electronics and audio-visual equipment chainstore moved in next door, and Ah Po's business began to suffer. In order to keep the business afloat, the family re-mortgaged their flat and spent all their savings, but to no avail. Ultimately, they had to close it down. "We couldn't even find someone to take up the business. We lost everything," said Ah Po...... |

天橋上的友誼大使 每晚路經南昌天橋，總會遇上阿平，風雨不改。三年前開始在這裡露宿，他說自己是第一個發現這小天地的，後來陸續有人加入露宿，今天總有十個八個露宿者在睡。阿平如南昌天橋的友誼大使，近年多了學生及義工探望露宿者，阿平總不嫌其煩端坐在自己的小天地，跟大家聊天說自己故事。 這條天橋對55 歲的阿平來說，充滿感情，從不離棄。雖然一條馬路之隔便是政府避寒中心，有瓦遮頭有熱水有杯麵，但三年來阿平半步也沒踏過進去。「我就是不鍾意人多的地方。」阿平說，正因這份執著，那年農曆年跌至只得六度，又刮起大風雨，阿平仍然堅持留守天橋上...... Congeniality of the
Bridge Come rain or shine, you'll meet Ah Ping along the Nam Cheong footbridge every night. He started calling this place his home three years ago. Claiming to be the first to discover this spot, the bridge now houses around 10 other homeless people. Ah Ping is like Mr. Congeniality of the Nam Cheong bridge, as he is always happy to share his life stories to volunteers who have progressively come to visit the homeless...... |

Clearance It was still quite cool in Hong Kong in February. This group of street-sleepers was suddenly robbed of their clothes, blankets and mattresses. They could do nothing but sit dully in the street, feeling angry and helpless. They found it difficult to understand why their necessities to keep warmth and their personal belongings were regarded by the Government as rubbish......

| 相聚太難
左鄰右裏有來有往，互相幫忙，那份熱鬧總叫人窩心和懷念，但套用到露宿者身上，情況就大不一樣。三五人一起睡在街上，已容易被稱為「滋擾」，再多幾位，政府分分鐘就會來清場又或防止聚集。2013年香港最荒謬的新聞事件之一，莫過於20 位油尖旺區議員連同七個政府部門，一起大搞綠化工程，首要目標是「防止露宿者聚集」。 不知道在採取這些行動之時，政府有無將露宿者當作人來平等相待？其實無論有家無家，住別墅還是睡大街，人們都需要溝通交往，互相扶持。只要多走幾步，蹲下來聽聽故事，會不難發現，「聚集」背後隱藏的，是友情、愛情和活生生的生命掙扎。......

Too Difficult to Get Together When neighbours visit each other and help each other out, it is heartwarming and something to yearn for. However, when it comes to street-sleepers, the situation is completely different. A group of three or five people sleeping together in a street is easily referred to as a "nuisance" by the government, and when numbers increase, they clear the site or stop the gathering from happening. Among the ridiculous news of the year 2013, none was more ridiculous than the greening project organised by 20 district councilors in conjunction with seven government departments. Its purpose was to "prevent the assembly of street-sleepers." Did the government, when taking such actions, give the streetsleepers equal treatment as human beings? We do not know. Actually, regardless of whether one has a home or not, lives in a villa or on the streets, all people should exchange communication with each other and support each other. If one does so much as walk a few more steps and squat down to hear the stories, one will find that hidden behind the "gatherings" is friendship, love and a struggle for life. |

| 誰偷走了我的屋頂？
回想當年，深水 之後政府還進行連串清掃行動，包括晚上封鎖通州街足球場，又在晚上八時在通州街公園灑水落臭粉，令露宿者皮膚感到痕癢。記得有一次，我們聯同露宿者到康文署總部請願，露宿者問康文署助理署長，過去十年，誰偷走了我的屋頂（通州街公園內涼亭的上蓋）？助理署長回答說，那是因為該上蓋妨礙了警方拍攝公園內聚賭的情況。那一刻，大家終於明白什麼是「諉過於人」了。 Who stole my rooftop? Thinking back to years past, the spectator stand at Maple Street Playground was the most popular resting spot for the homeless in the area. The homeless generally do not like to be seen, so the spectator stand was the perfect spot for them to spend the night, with a shelter from wind and rain, and lights turned off at 11pm every night. Even when social workers pay them a visit, they need to bring their own torches. Sadly, in the past years the Sham Shui Po District Council has spent in the multiples of HK$100,000 to build gates on the spectator stand, locking the gates at 11pm, and even hired a security service to patrol the area, prohibiting the homeless from entering. Thereafter, the government
organized a series of "clean-up" operations, including
locking the gates to Tung Chau Street Park at night, and spraying
the park grounds with water and odorous powder, causing skin irritations
in many of the homeless who spent their nights there. We remember
that during a protest of the homeless against the LCSD, when the
homeless asked the Assistant Director of the LCSD, in the past ten
years, who stole our rooftop (the cover at the Tung Chau Street
Park pavilion)? The Assistant Director's response was that the cover
was removed because it was obstructing the Hong Kong Police Force's
surveillance operations of illegal gambling activities in the area.
In that moment, everyone felt the true the meaning of the word "scapegoat". |

數年前楓樹街球場是露宿好地方，因為有看臺遮風擋雨，晚上11 時更關了燈，完全保障私隱。 A few years ago, the Maple Street Playground used to be friendly to street sleepers, as the roof over the stands provided shelter against winds and rain. With lighting switched off at 11 pm, the homeless could enjoy some sort of privacy. |
2012 年深水康文署在看臺加了3
個大閘，露宿朋友被迫四散至更偏遠位置。 In 2012, the Sham Shui

露宿者在香港 世界各地均面對露宿的問題。無論在富庶的美國、正在發展的印度還是那些更為貧窮的地區，我們都能看見露宿者的身影。他們幾乎失去一切人賴以生存的基本條件，沒有一個可以遮風禦寒的居所，更難以維持三餐溫飽和個人衛生。 香港社區組織協會於1999年開始協助露宿者的工作。我們發現，絕大多數的露宿者習慣入夜後才到隱蔽的地方露宿，以此躲避社會歧視和政府驅趕。他們流動性極高，不易被接觸。因此，社會福利署所公佈的露宿者數字很有可能被低估。香港社區組織協會估計，全港大約有1,200名露宿者。 Homelessness in Hong Kong Homelessness is a common problem all over the world. It exists in rich and developed countries like the United States as well as developing nations such as India. People who are homeless have no access to the most basic and fundamental resources - they have no roof over their head, not to mention having adequate food to keep them from hunger and maintaining personal hygiene. SoCO has been helping the homeless since 1999. We have noticed that in order to avoid facing public discrimination and harassments from the city departments, most of them only appear to sleep in hidden places after dark. They are highly "nomadic" and difficult to reach and engage, and thus the statistics from the Social Welfare Department could be an under-estimation of the real situation. SoCO estimates that there are around 1,200 street sleepers in Hong Kong.
