巴基斯坦裔,在香港土生土長的終審法院法官包致金以開明、重人權見稱。他在 2012 年退休時,記者曾挑著他的巴裔身分問:你從哪裏來?還記得,包致金毫不猶豫地說:「我來自九龍。」
九年後,香港巨變之時,再訪包致金,他說:「你知道嗎,我對這地方有很深感情。我在香港出生,嚴格來說這並不準確,我是在九龍出生…哈哈!」
主權交接 24 年,經歷高低起跌,由上世紀 80 年代中英談判香港前途開始、至國安法實施,數十年來出現多次移民潮,也有人「回流」後再離開。
「我在這裡長大,我永遠不會離開。」
包致金說,若有人要走,他絕對尊重,畢竟自己都出身於移民家庭,但他更加希望大家與他一同留下。
「我仍然有信心,香港會迎來好日子,哪怕我估計錯誤,只剩下困乏,我也會留下,與香港人同甘苦。」

【Hong Kong Remembers : Justice Kemal Bokhary (Part 1) 】The Kowloon-born judge: Stay with Hongkongers through thick and thin
The Hong Kong-born Pakistani judge Kemal Bokhary is renowned for his liberal views and commitment to human rights. When he retired in 2012, the reporter once queried about his identity and asked, "Where are you from?" He answered without hesitation, "I'm from Kowloon."
After nine years, Justice Bokhary accepted to be interviewed again amid the drastic changes that Hong Kong is facing. He says, "I have very strong feelings about this place. I of course was born in Hong Kong, well, not strictly speaking true - I was born in Kowloon, haha!"
Since the sovereignty of Hong Kong has changed 24 years ago, the city has undergone ups and downs. Several waves of exodus have been also observed since the Sino-British negotiation in the 1980s to the implementation of the National Security Law. There are also "returnees" who decide to leave again.
"This is where I grew up and I’m never gonna leave this place," says Justice Bokhary.
As a child in an immigrant family, Justice Bokhary says that he respects people's decision to leave the city, but he hopes people will stay as he does.
"I have some faith that there are still good times to be had here, but if I was totally wrong, there will be nothing but hard times, and I will still stay here and share it with the people of Hong Kong."
In the first part of "Hong Kong Remembers: Justice Kemal Bokhary", the liberal judge talks about his life as a street kid, the good old days of Hong Kong and the city's "Lion Rock spirit".
