The Blank Slogan

最後一批被捕者上大巴的時候,圍觀的人群裡,有個少女舉起一疊白紙,警察的電筒強光不時掃過她的臉,也不閃躲。

我好奇問,這白紙有甚麼用呢?
她說,過去都會在現場舉標語,通常都是到場後隨便派隨便拿那種,今天是國安法第一天,她不知道要舉甚麼才不會犯法。

然後突然想起,以前看過的蘇聯冷笑話:紅場上,有個人在派傳單,軍官到場把人逮捕,卻發現傳單都只是白紙。軍官想了想,對那個人說:你以為我不知道你想寫甚麼?
「我突然想看看,看起來荒謬的笑話,是不是已經成真了。」少女說。

“It’s the first day of the security law, I don’t know what slogan is legal that I could use. Then I recalled an old joke of Soviet Union. There was a man who sending leaflets, an officer arrested him but found out that they were all blank papers, the officer said to the man: Do you think that I don’t know what you wanted to write?”

“Then I suddenly wondered, I wanted to see whether the ridiculous joke becomes the truth.”, the lady said.
