第25届人权新闻奖HRPA「中文纪录片大奖」（2021.05.06）、金尧如新闻自由大奖（2021.04.21），双料冠军在身的《铿锵集》「721谁主真相」
[https://youtu.be/or4B7NpHwbY]，快将在YouTube消失，就算不断有人再把它上载，香港电台和中共，也会以侵犯版权为由，不断要求YouTube把它下架，为免被遗忘，笔者尝试把影像转为文字撮要，方便大家温故知新，如下：
【序言】
0:15 一年来（2019-2020）每月20日晚上，西铁元朗站都有市民到来贴上721的文宣；但过去半年（2020），这些文宣都会被立刻破坏，无法保留到翌日。
0:53 「721事件」论述由最初白衣人袭击市民，演变成白衣人与黑衣人的暴力衝突，甚至有指事件是黑衣人主动挑起；《铿锵集》翻查当日闭路电视和网络片段中的线索，追查当中人物，了解他们口中的事件真相。
【场景1】
1:25 受害人苏先生讲述遇袭经过，他说警方及监警会的专责报告，至今仍未能还事件一个公道，因为两者都认为，苏先生的遇袭地点距离西铁元朗站600米，跟721事件无关。但是，《铿锵集》对比西铁站网上及闭路电视片段，发现有不少在元朗站施袭的白衣人，事发前在凤攸北街一带聚集，袭击苏先生的白衣人，即是西铁元朗站的白衣人。
【场景2】
5:39 究竟在西铁站袭击市民的白衣人是什麽人？
5:46 部份白衣人来自厦村乡锡降围，锡降围村长邓锦辉否认，厦村乡乡事委员会主席邓励东也否认！
9:01 其中一个白衣人是锦田沙埔村的陈志祥，他也是「小牛农庄」的主人；虽然陈志祥现时失踪，但「小牛农庄」仍有运作，并已改名为「逢吉农场」。
【场景3】
9:51 当日在凤攸北街出现过不少接载白衣人的车辆，《铿锵集》透过车牌查册，发现其中几辆车的持有人都是村代表！
10:06 第一位村代表登记车主是屏山乡辋井围村代表邓辉泰，他说当日刚巧路过，拒绝接受访问。
10:31 第二位村代表登记车主是新田乡竹园村村代表黄广宁，他家人说他患病，正在医院休养，不方便接受访问。
11:27 其中一位住在元朗，当日曾到现场的村代表说反对任何暴力，但担心被人「起底」，不愿意上镜受访。
【场景4】
12:31 「721事件」当日，凤攸北街曾出现不少接载白衣人的车辆，《铿锵集》根据车牌登记地址，逐一接触车主！
12:55 第一位登记车主梁先生说他的汽车主要由他弟弟驾驶，他弟弟已经身处内地。
13:17 第二位登记车主说他把汽车借给一个住在元朗的朋友郭先生，之后自称是郭先生的僱员致电《铿锵集》，说自己是郭先生的司机，替郭先生做运输工作，不知道有人派竹枝，也没有接载过白衣人，也没有打人。视像片段中，这车负责领取竹枝和国旗。
13:44 第三位是一辆持中港车牌车辆的登记车主，车主是一间位于大埔靖远街23号的公司，到访当日，登记地址所在是另一间公司：卓尔物业发展（Prosperous Property Development），之后一个男士致电《铿锵集》，说跟朋友买了这辆车做中港贸易生意，只是没有更改登记名字，事件如何发生他也没办法知悉，只知司机本来住新田附近，但一直身处内地。视像片段中，这车负责分发竹枝予白衣人。
【场景5】何君尧议员与白衣人握手
14:40 闭路电视是有力的证据，James是其中一个提供闭路电视给《铿锵集》的商户，他说家人担心店舖被牵连，但他不想后悔一生，否则，香港就真的完蛋了！
15:12 「721事件」当晚，何君尧十时许现身凤攸北街，他说只是路过，却被诬衊为策划721，是被有心的人陷害！
16:02 但是，2019年7月15日何君尧曾经在网上社交平台视像直播中说过：「现在又说来元朗搞事，元朗就欢迎他们，你们（六乡）动作要赶快，把他们打得片甲不留。」
16:26 何君尧在节目访问中回应：「那又如何？胡诌也不行？」
16:36 此外，闭路电视片段就看到当晚有几个人陪何君尧离开，包括屯门的一位村长，还有何君尧的长期义工与支持者黄四川，他也是元朗妈庙路四川物业（Si Chuan Property）的东主，闭路电视拍到黄四川721当晚近八时，在现场手持钹与数十名举著「保卫元朗」标语的市民游行！他因为事件被捕，暂时未被控告，正在保释候查，但《铿锵集》也找不到他接受访问。
18:24 至于与何君尧握手的邓威良，他哥哥是元朗「八乡北」区议员邓鎔耀，《铿锵集》在议员办事处外面找到邓威良，他谘询了法律意见后，认为不适合接受访问。
【场景6】
19:01 （2020.6.9）警方就721事件，目前拘捕了37人，当中七人被控参与暴动及串谋有意图伤人等，在被告及被捕人士中，有几位当晚都有与何君尧接触。
19:19 何君尧在节目访问中回应：「任何人在那裡，即使我在那裡，有什麽大不了？721是一个不理想的情况，但整件事不是721一个原委，真正是什麽？颜色革命，有外国势力！」
【场景7】
19:43 James认为721是一场有预谋的袭击，因为凤攸北街在傍晚时分，已有过百名白衣人聚集，但警方视若无睹。
19:54 James翻看闭路电视片段，发现数名怀疑是便衣警员，天网恢恢，疏而不漏；我们看到一位中国籍男子，手持一个疑似委任证或证件，不停来回这条街十多次以上。
20:27 从片段看到白衣人手持各式各样武器，而手持疑似委任证的这位朋友，似乎无任何行动，James觉得实在太离谱！
【场景8】
21:05 监警会专题报告提到，当晚警方在7时51分至9时45分，五次派员到现场，均汇报白衣人没任何破坏社会安宁或犯罪行为。
21:22 《铿锵集》向元朗警区指挥官何镇宗求证，他不予置评。
21:47 《铿锵集》向警察公共关係科查询，片段内的人士是否便衣警员，警方没有回应我们的问题，所以我们不能够证实他们是否警务人员；警方重申，正积极跟进调查案件。
【结语】
22:06 凤攸北街商户James说：「胜利者不停窜改整个历史，真相似乎渐渐被世人遗忘，或者千方百计令真相逐渐消失；但每件事情发生了，都会记在我们心中，我相信良知最终会胜过邪恶，无论几年还是几十年也好，我相信真相最后会水落石出！」

Hong Kong 721 Yuen Long Terrorist Attack: Who did it? Who controls the truth?
25th HRPA （Human Rights Press Awards） Documentary Video Award（2021.05.06）and Jin Yaoru Press Freedom Award（2021.04.21）, although as a double-winner, “Hong Kong Connection：7.21 Who Owns the Truth”[
https://youtu.be/mrHywuxPMV0] will disappear in YouTube very soon. No matter how many copies are going to be uploaded again, YouTube will remove them quickly upon the requests from the Hong Kong Government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) owing to copyright infringement. To avoid being forgotten and to facilitate revisions and further studies, I have prepared its written synopsis as follows:
【Prologue】
0:15 Over the past year（2019-2020）, on the evening of the 20th each month, people come to Yuen Long Station (YLS) on the West Rail Line to put up posters about the 721 incident. But in the past six months, none of these posters lasted more than a night.
0:53 One year has passed. Over time, the narrative of the incident has morphed from an attack by white-clad men on civilians into a violent confrontation between men in white T-shirts and men wearing black. There have been accusations that the incident was instigated by black-clad men. Hong Kong Connection (HKC) reviewed CCTV and online footage from the day to look for clues and track down those captured on film in a bid to understand the truth as they told it.
【Scene 1】
1:25 Mr. So, victim of the 721 incident, told us how he was chased and attacked by a crowd of white-clad men in Fung Yau Street North (FYSN), 600m away from YLS. He was told by the police that his case was not counted as a part of the 721 incident because it was not happened in YLS. He said there’s been no justice for what happened on 721, from neither the police nor the Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC) report. However, after comparing CCTV and online footage from the night, HKC found out that a number of white-clad men who appeared in YLS, had gathered in the FYSN area before the incident. They should be also responsible for the attack on Mr. So!
【Scene 2】
5:39 Who were the white-clad men attacking ordinary people in the West Rail station (YLS)?
5:46 Some white-clad men came from Shek Kong Wai (錫降圍) in Ha Tsuen Village (廈村鄉). However, both Shek Kong Wai village chief Tang Kam-fai (鄧錦輝) and Ha Tsuen Rural Committee Chairman Tang Lai-tung (鄧勵東) denied this fact.
9:01 One of the white-clad men was Chan Chi-cheung (陳志祥). He came from Sha Po Tsuen (沙埔村), Kam Tin (錦田). He was the owner of “Little Cow Farm (小牛農莊)”. Although Chan Chi-cheung has hidden himself away, “Little Cow Farm” is still in operation, but under the new name “Fung Kat Farm (逢吉農場)”.
【Scene 3】
9:51 On the evening of 721, a number of vehicles carrying white-clad men appeared on FYSN. HKC made car license plate checks and found out several of the vehicles were registered under the names of village representatives.
10:06 The first one is Tang Fai-tai (鄧輝泰), the representative of Mong Tseng Wai(輞井圍) in Ping Shan Heung (屏山鄉). He said he just happened to pass by on the night. He refused to be interviewed.
10:31 The second one is Wong Kwong-ning (黃廣寧), the representative of Chuk Yuen village (竹園村) in San Tin Heung (新田鄉). His family said he was suffering from an illness, was still in hospital, and was not available for interview.
11:27 HKC managed to find one village representative who was at the scene that evening. He said he’s against all forms of violence. He worried about getting ‘doxxed’ so he chose not to appear on camera.
【Scene 4】
12:31 On July 21st 2019, a number of vehicles appeared on FYSN carrying men in white T-shirts. HKC found the registered address for each license plate and contacted the registered owner of each vehicle one by one.
12:55 The first one was Mr. Leung. He said it’s mostly his younger brother who drove the car and his brother had already been in the Mainland.
13:17 The second one said he had lent his car to a friend surnamed Kwok who lives in YL. Afterwards, a men called to tell us that he was employed by Mr. Kwok to do logistics business. He said he did not see any bamboos or white-clad men that night. He also did not beat anyone that night. However, video footage shows that the driver of that car took over bamboos and national flags.
13:44 The third one is a company that owned a car with a cross-border license plate. But its registered address (23 Tsing Yuen Street, Tai Po) led us to another business: Prosperous Property Development（卓爾物業發展）. The staff there said they’d never heard of the company but afterwards, a men called to tell us that he had bought the car from his friend to do cross-border trading business and he simply didn’t update the car registration. He said he had no idea how it happened, he only know who’s driving the car that night but it’s none of his business. If the driver wishes to talk about it, he will, but he can’t force him if he doesn’t. He was probably tending to some private matter at the time. He lives near San Tin. He’s been out of HK for the past six months, he’s been in the Mainland all this time. However, video footage shows that a group of white-clad men handed out bamboo sticks from the car’s boot.
【Scene 5】Law maker and Councillor Junius Ho shook hands with white-clad men
14:40 The CCTV footage is strong evidence because it basically captures all the gatherings of white-clad men that evening. James is one of the shop owners that provided CCTV footage to us. He said his family had told him to stay out of trouble, fearing that his business would be drawn into the fray. However, he doesn’t want to live with regrets. They were attacking people all over YL. It was an absolute outrage. If we don’t bring to light the evidence that we have, then HK will be finished.
15:12 (FYSN) This is the spot where white-clad men gathered on the night of 721 (2019). Junius Ho came to shake hands with them around 10:00pm. He said he just happened to pass by that night. He said he was innocent but he got framed by those with an agenda.
16:02 However, a week before 721 (2019), Junius Ho posted this video message on social media: Two days ago, it was Sheung Shui, Yesterday, they turned to Sha Tin. Now they say they’ll come to make trouble in YL. Right, YL will welcome them. What will happen when they come? We’ll take care of them. The more people they send, the faster you (villages) have to act. You have to beat them to a pulp.
16:26 In response to his video message, Ho argued, “So what if that’s what I said? Why can’t I talk baloney?”
16:36 In addition, CCTV footage showed that several men left with Ho that night. One of them was holding a bat. He’s a village chief from Tuen Mun. And also Wong Si-chuan, a long-term volunteer and supporter of Ho. Wong was also the owner of Si Chuan Property which is located in Ma Miu Road, YL. CCTV footage also showed that Wong appeared in a rally at around 8pm, holding cymbals. He was joined by dozens of people holding placards that read “Defend YL”. Wong was later arrested, but has so far not been charged for his role in the incident. HKC tried to find him at his company and his home but both were unsuccessful.
18:24 Billy Tang was another person who shook hands with Junius Ho before he appeared on YLS platform later that night. His brother is Ronnie Tang, District Councillor for YL’s Pat Heung North. We found Billy Tang outside his brother’s office. After seeking legal advice, he said it was not appropriate for him to take part in our interview.
【Scene 6】
19:01 (721 incident court hearing 2020.06.09) The police have so far arrested about 40 people in connection with the 721 incident. A handful of them were charged with rioting and conspiracy to wound with intent. Several of the defendants and arrested persons had met Junius Ho that night.
19:19 In response to this, Junius Ho argued, “Anyone who was there, and even if I was there, what’s wrong with that? What happened on 721 wasn’t desirable but the real cause of the whole thing wasn’t 721 itself. What was really behind it? It’s a colour revolution, there were foreign forces behind it.”
【Scene 7】
19:43 James thinks the 721 incident was a premeditated attack because the police had turned a blind eye to the more than 100 white-clad men that were already in FYSN late afternoon that day.
19:54 In reviewing CCTV footage, James spotted several men who he suspected to be plainclothes police officers. God’s mill grinds slow but sure. A man who’s holding what looks like a warrant card, walking up and down the street more than ten times.
20:27 The footage showed men in white T-shirts holding different weapons. However, there doesn’t seem to be any action from this man who’s holding what looks like a warrant card. This is really outrageous.
【Scene 8】
21:05 The IPCC report said the police had sent officers to the scene five times between 7:51pm and 9:45pm to report on the white-clad men’s activities. Each time they reported no breach of the peace or criminal behaviour.
21:22 (2020.06.30) HKC approached the Yuen Long (YL) district commander Eric Ho to verify if the men in the footage were plainclothes officers but he said he can’t comment on such footage.
21:47 HKC lodged an enquiry to the Police Public Relations Branch (PPRB). We asked if the men in the footage were plainclothes officers. The police did not respond to our question so we were unable to confirm if they were police officers. The police repeated that they were actively following up on their investigation into the incident.
【Epilogue】
22:06 “The victors will always manipulate the past, the world seems to be gradually forgetting the truth or there will be attempts to erode the truth at all costs. But every single event that happened is printed in our hearts, I believe that good will always triumph over evil. Whether it will take years or decades, I believe the truth will prevail in the end.” said James, one of the shop owners that provided CCTV footage to HKC.
