六七暴動與香港前途:港大生談九七問題
六七暴動期間,港大學生會是最早表態支持港府的團體之一。5月17日,港大《學苑》社論〈我們要求安定〉表示認同勞工也認同中國,但反對企圖以口號及主義麻醉人們理智,企圖造成社會動亂勢力。
到7月13日,有港大生撰文討論香港前途,反省自覺精英一群人如何面對九七新界約滿,為個人、為社會,應選擇離地抑落地,早過港大生耕耘著名文章〈我是個「香港人」〉(1969)。
這一切都發生在中共大幅滲透學界奪權和所謂「認中關社」前夕。

Al Bum, “Has Hong Kong A Future?” Undergrad(1967–7–13):
It is the writer’s hope to start the discussion-ball rolling by introducing this topic which weighs, heavy on our minds, but which has never before been openly and frankly discussed. Is there a future for Hong Kong, a future in which we can live and let live, a future in which we need not live in fear of persecution; a future where we can live our daily lives in peace and progress? Can we make Hong Kong God’s little acre, or shall return to the PeopIes’ Republic. In short, do we wish to choose a liberal or a communist government?
We still have a short thirty years to choose. In thirty years, many of us who are now studying here will have reached the peak of our chosen careers. In thirty years the New Territories lease expires with all the attached consequences. Are we, the fortunate few who recieve a university career going to desert those Iess fortunate people who cannot choose whether they want to here or leave?…
Why are we here? We did not choose to be here, our parents did. Our parents came here when they fled from Communism and other forms of government and any are still fleeing over the border. But it is up to us to decide what form of government we want to live under.
What do we want to get out of this place? A degree, a nice well-paid comfortable job, and a nice, comfortable wife, and maybe lots of status, and are we to be blamed for wanting this? What do we want to get out of this place? An academic career maybe, and the illusion that through study we can escape the reality of dirty politics, and from Hong Kong, when things get too hot. What ‘sentimental’ attachment do we have to it?…
We cannot conclude that Hong Kong means little or nothing to us. We can never explain away the fact that when we were homeless, Hong Kong housed us, when we were hungry Hong Kong fed us, when we were hopeless Hong Kong gave us hope and refuge, and a chance to start afresh. You can’t escape it: Hong Kong is your home.
Can we achieve our aim of retaining Hong Kong’s identity? If we accept that it is we who have to decide our future, we will have to surmount many obstacles. We will have to strive to achieve more active participation in politics, we will have to campaign for the allegiance of our youth, many of whom are at present being lured by the communists, we will have to stand in the open and tell the people of Hong Kong what we want. I feel that our universities should take a lead in guiding the youth…

同一版有革新會主席貝納祺(Brook Bernacchi)談新界約滿後香港三大去向,“Bernacchi Confident,” Undergrad(1967–7–13):
Concerning the more distant future of Hong Kong, Brook Bernacchi reminded us that the New Territories’ lease expires at the end of the century and that then there were three alternatives open to Hong Kong, one being that “Hong Kong has to give up the New Territories,and becomes another little Macao, but I don’t think Hong Kong would survive long under those conditions, the other is that with whatever government is in power at the time, either the Peoples’ Republic or any other government, they (the people of Hong Kong) negotiate for the return of the whole of Hong Kong, possibly with compensation. The final alternative is that an agreement acceptable to both sides can be reached where Hong Kong can keep its identity and not be under the British government, like a free city”. But would Hong Kong be able to sustain an independent form of government? To this question Mr. Bernacchi replied that Sir David Trench was holding discussions in London to arrange for indirect elections to be held via the Urban Council and this would in effect be a first, small step towards internal self-government…
