大家好，這是我首次參加 @jubi 的谷哥点名，題目是風景。雖然我寫過很多與旅遊有關的文章，但這次反而希望寫寫香港的風景，希望藉此來反省一下本土議題（故還是用繁體字比較貼切）。
Hello all steemit friends! This is my first time to participate in @jubi competition. The topic is scenery. Although I have already written a number of articles about my travel experiences, this article is to bring attention on issues in Hong Kong. As it is an article describing local issues, I am going to write in Traditional Chinese.
自我有記憶以來，阿嬤一直都住在石塘咀南里一號的唐樓四樓。
For as long as I can remember, grandma used to live on the fourth floor of an old tenement building in South Lane, Shek Tong Tsui.
小時候，爸媽有時會帶我去探望阿嬤。以前，在上環地鐵站出來後，還要轉乘5號巴士來到石塘咀。阿嬤住的唐樓前有一小段斜坡，這斜坡經過這座唐樓後，向左一直伸展，上蓋是山道天橋。這斜坡就是其中一幕胭脂扣的拍攝場景—萬梓良遇到鬼妓梅艷芳。斜坡前有一個十字路口，路口旁有一間美心餅店。每逢下巴士後，看到這家餅店，我便知道快到阿嬤的家了。
When I was a child, my parents sometimes took me to visit grandma. In the past, after taking 45-minute metro, we still needed to take transit bus to go to Shek Tong Tsui. Grandma’s tenement was located in the slope. Climbing up the slopes, we could find an overpass, where is a shooting spot of a famous Cantonese Movie, Rouge. (The place where is Yuen first met ghost Fleur) There is an intersection in front of the slope. Every time when I took off the bus, walked by and saw the bakery in this intersection, I’d know I was nearly home.
自從八年前阿嬤去世以後，我沒有再回來過石塘咀，一來是路程遙遠，但更主要是已經沒有再回來的原因。
After my grandma passed away, I haven’t been to the area for 8 years. One reason was being exhausted by a long journey. But most importantly, I have no reasons to come back again.
三年前，港鐵西港島線的堅尼地城站及香港大學站開通。數天前，我和友人首次乘搭到堅尼地城站，並在附近走走。走著走著，一個華麗轉身後，看到兩家素食店，突然，記憶漸漸浮現。沿著街道直行，再看見了熟悉的美心餅店。站在同一個十字路口，向左看，前方是寶湖酒家，曾經來過幾次和阿嬤飲茶吃晚飯，最後一次是辦阿嬤的解穢酒；向右看，現在那一小段斜坡比記憶中較平坦，新建的香港大學站的B2出口就在眼前，可是，港鐵站後的南里一號的唐樓卻在重建中，廣告牌大刺刺地寫著「南里壹號」。
Few years ago, the Kennedy Town Station and the Hong Kong University Station along the West Island Line opened. A couple of days ago, my friends and I took metro to Kennedy Town Station for the first time and walked around. Walking along the street, I found the same bakery. On our left, there was a seafood restaurant, where we had dinner with grandma for several times. On my right, the brand new Hong Kong University Station was right in front of me. However, grandma’s tenement building was under construction. The billboard was saying, “One South Lane”.
這刻心情百感交集，一方面是舊地重遊，但人去樓空；另一方面是體現著舊區重建的影響。怎麼會有「政治冷感」、「離地」的香港人？因為這些時事、政策沒有切身影響著他們，自然就不會關注。長者被公眾脫光衣服在安老院的露天天台洗澡？我的父母或祖父母還能照顧自己，不用住安老院，所以不關我事；買不到樓？每月儲3000元就較易上樓，但就算不儲3000元，最多以後繼續跟父母住，或問父母付首期，所以我還能解決住屋問題；舊區重建？不涉及我的社區……
I was inundated with a multitude of feelings. On one hand, it was my first time visiting grandma’s former residence for 8 years, but everything had already gone. On the other hand, it showed gentrification. Many people in Hong Kong are politically apathetic (even after umbrella movement) because they think those ridiculous policies or social issues are none of their business. For example, elderly were being abused in elderly home; most young people cannot purchase property; more and more urban renewal…
港鐵通車使沿線的地區面對著「士紳化」的影響，小店面臨加租威脅、咖啡店、酒吧、高中級西餐廳林立、舊樓被收回重建成豪宅、商場重新裝修吸引有潛力的租客和具消費力的客人……這個社區不再是以前居民所熟悉的，多了冷漠的陌生人面孔、來自不同文化的外國人鄰居、一式一樣的連鎖店和格格不入的高格調樓宇。
West Island line (of metro) has led to the rapid gentrification of Kennedy Town (including Shek Tong Tsui). Old tenement buildings have been replaced with luxury apartment blocks by private developers. Mom-and-pop shops have been forced to move out and substituted by new restaurateurs selling food at mid-Levels prices. More and more tourists and foreigners come in. The community has been no longer the same.
若阿嬤還在生，不知道她對已居住半生的社區變成這樣，會有甚麼感覺？
If grandma had been alive, how would she have felt about her community?
