Dear brothers and sisters of the web,

here is the details of the peace concert for your reference.


和平音樂會：追念你我不知道的和平工作者之死


從三月到四月，是滿載思念的月份。數年來，多位歐美和平工作者在以巴地區為和平倒下，其中有美國女大學生Rachael Corrie,二十三歲，英國大學生Tom Hurndall，二十二歲，他們分別在零三年三月十七白及零四年四月十一日辭世。

Rachael 在加沙地帶保護難民房屋給摧毀，卻被推土機輾過而犠牲，Tom要保護一名孩子而為他擋去一顆子彈，當了九個月植物人，最終撒手塵寰。

他們兩人事跡感動了全球熱愛和平的人士，過去紀念活動不斷。

他們的精神對我們華人有什麼啟發？兩位分別來自新疆與蒙古的音樂人，率先以音樂表達他們對這兩位年輕犠牲者的懷念與省悟，在充滿希望的三月天，專程到訪香港，與我們一起唱出心中的力量，對世界局勢的反思，正如他們在一首歌裡唱：「這個星球上離去的人，留下了許多美好的願望；那些用心愛著的人們，就能收穫幸福與陽光．．．．」

現在，在香港，就讓我們與兩位內地音樂人，在三月一場由香港大學通識教育部贊助的和平音樂會中，一同透過音樂向那些為和平倒下的人士，獻上我們華人崇高的敬禮，為香港增添一幅動人的人文風景。

Their unknown story : a peace concert in memory of the death of peacemakers

Spring is the season which carries fond memories of those peacemakers who have given their life for a good cause. Among them we have a compassionate American student Rachael Corrie, and a conscientious British univeristy graduate Tom Hurndall.

Rachael aged 23 when she was fatally run over by a bulldozer in a protest against the deliberate demolition of civilian houses in Rafah, Gaza Strip. Tom aged 22 when he was shot dead in an attempt to protect a Palestinian boy from an attack. They left us on 17th March, 2003 and 11th April 2004 respectively with their stories touching the hearts of all peace lovers from every corner of the world . Since then, different commemorations take place every year in the West.

But, how about us as Chinese in Asia ? What inspiration we can get from their peace legacy? There are two musicians, one from Xiazhang, China and the other one grew up in Inner Mongolia, China, have taken the first move to express their appreciation through their own unique music. They will visit Hong Kong and share with us their music and songs which are particularly written for Rachael and Tom . In a season full of hope, let us sing out of our strength, and make reflection from the current international conflict situation. As what the two musicians say in the songs : " For those who have passed away from our planet, how much good will they have left to us?! For those who have loved the world wholeheartedly, they will harvest happiness and sunshine .......... "

Now, in Hong Kong, should we sing along with the musicians as our most sincere tribute to Rachael and Tom as well as the other unknown peacemakers, in a special peace concert sponsored by the University of Hong Kong in March. The most touching humanistic picture which has ever been seen in Hong Kong.
