【新唐人2014年07月28日讯】宣扬民主自由的香港《主场新闻》网站，在满两岁前夕，被创办人以“我恐惧”、“我误判”、“我愧疚”等理由宣布停办。创办者指出，香港让人感到政治压力和恐惧，不仅核心价值被扭曲，市场也被扭曲了。请看以下报导。
《主场新闻》是由蔡东豪、梁文道、刘细良和宋汉生，在2012年7月28号创办，支持香港争取民主自由运动。在政治立场上，明确支持“民主派”，支持“占领中环行动”。
创办人之一的蔡东豪26号在停办网站的声明中说，“今天的香港已经变了，做一个正常公民、做一个正常媒体、为社会做一点正当的事、实在不容易甚至感到恐惧。不是陌生而是恐惧”。
蔡东豪还说，“由于当前政治斗争气氛令人极度不安，多位民主派人士被跟踪、被抹黑、被翻旧账、一股白色恐怖氛围在社会弥漫，我亦感觉到这种压力”。他还表示，每次往返内地，过境时都会提心吊胆。他的家人也感到这种压力，终日替他担心。
此外，蔡东豪还解释，《主场新闻》平均每天流览人次有30万人，表现不错。但从创办至今，收入从来没有达到平衡。他说，“我的恐惧及误判，源于我曾一度相信香港还是一个正常的地方，一心以为可做一个关心香港的公民、一个相信市场的商人，很明显我错了。”
最后，他宣布﹕《主场新闻》即日起正式结束。
蔡东豪，是一个成功的管理者、商人以及电视节目主持人，他还是知名作家，曾以蔡东豪、原复生、余就风、孔少林的名字写过多本书，还曾是《信报》、《壹周刊》《苹果日报》的专栏作家。
旅美媒体人温云超（北风）：“今天突然说关了，然后所有的旧文章不能访问。这个其实是很罕见和不同寻常的做法。那我估计蔡东豪先生是不是已经受到非常严重的和即时的威胁。”
旅美媒体人温云超（北风）在网路社交平台“推特”(Twitter)上写道：《主场新闻》即时关闭，显然是恐惧多于运营问题，且这个恐惧应该还不是来自于环境的恐惧气氛，而是某种直接的威胁。如果只是运营的问题，至少会先寻求合作或是出售，等待其它解决办法。
温云超：“从去年以来，包括《阳光事物周刊》的出品人陈平先生，还有包括像香港《明报》的前总编辑刘进图先生，都曾经受到袭击，直接的人身的攻击。”
实际上，不少香港媒体人近年来受到了不同程度的攻击。
去年6月《阳光时务》创办人陈平，在街头被两名持木棍男子袭击，打伤头部﹔《苹果日报》创办人黎智英报社办公室遭到纵火﹔发行商《勤力德》老板遭砍伤，两名职员被扣押在深圳看守所﹔《am730》报纸老板施永青驾车被拦截，车窗玻璃被打破。还有今年2月，香港《明报》前总编刘进图街头被人砍中三刀。
蔡东豪受到什么样的恐吓不得而知，但《主场新闻》坚持追求香港真正的自由和司法独立，为当前的政治所不容。而且，网站另一个创始人刘细良是“民主党”核心成员，还是智囊。
原《香港联合报》专栏作家张成觉：“目前整个政治的环境就是比较恶劣，特别是北京中南海方面，对这个网路的管制是越来越严峻。”
原《香港联合报》专栏作家张成觉指出，虽然目前香港的言论平台在收缩，但香港市民已经把愤慨的矛头指向了北京的集权统治者，指向了他们专政的蛮横势力。
今年7月1号，香港超过50万人上街游行，以“全民自首”对抗白色恐怖。
张成觉表示，从世界潮流来看，民主、自由的普世价值，是不可能改变的趋势。

Founder of Hong Kong “House News” Driven by Fear
“House News” website founder announced its shut down
just before it reached its second anniversary.
The website has promoted democracy and freedom in Hong Kong.
Its founder said that fear and wrong judgment
caused the website shut-down.
He stated that Hong Kong is now
a place filled with political pressure and fear.
Not only core values have been distorted,
but the market was distorted too.
“House News” was founded on July 28th 2012
by Cai Donghao, Liang Wendao, Liu Xiliang and Liu Hansheng.
It has been supportive of democratic activities in Hong Kong.
“House News” openly supported the democrats
and the movement of “occupying Central Hong Kong”.
Cai Donghao, one of the co-founders of “House News”,
wrote a statement on July 26, saying:
“Today’s Hong Kong has changed.
It’s really challenging and even frightening
to be a normal citizen,
to run a normal medium,
and to do some right things for society.
It’s not something unfamiliar, but something fearful. ”
He also said: “Right now, the political struggles in Hong Kong
have made people feel extremely uneasy.
Many democratic activists were tracked, discredited
and had their past raked up.
An atmosphere of terror pervades Hong Kong society.
I also feel the pressure.”
Cai also mentioned that every time he visited Mainland China,
he was filled with fear at the customs entries.
Cai’s family also feels this pressure and
have worried about him all the time.
Cai Donghao also stated that every day about
300,000 people visited “House News” website
and it performed really well.
But, its account has never been in balance since the start.
He further explained, “I used to believe that Hong Kong
is still a normal place and I can live as a citizen that cares
about Hong Kong,
as a business man that can trust the market.
Obviously, I was wrong.”
Finally, Cai announced that “House News”
was officially closed that day.
Cai Donghao is a successful management professional,
a businessman and host of TV shows.
He is also a well-known writer of many books in the names
of Cai Donghao, Yuan Fusheng, Yu Jiufeng and Kong Shaolin.
He is also column writer of “Economic Journal”, “Next Magazine”
and “Apple Daily”.
Wen Yunchao (Bei Feng),
a media professional living in the U.S:
“House News announced its closure today,
and now all previous articles cannot be read any more.
It’s really abnormal and unusual.
I speculate that Mr. Cai might have been severely
and immediately threatened. ”
Wen Yunchao wrote in his Twitter account,
“The shut-down of House News is caused by fear rather than operational problems.
The fear should not come from the terrorism atmosphere itself in Hong Kong,
but should be from some direct threat.
If it’s only operational problem,
at least they can seek cooperation or sell the medium to a third-party,
or search for other solutions.”
Wen Yunchao: “Since last year, Mr. Chen Ping, producer of ‘iSun Affairs’,
and Liu Jintu, former Chief Editor of Hong Kong ‘Ming Pao’,
have been both physically attacked. ”
As a matter of fact, many Hong Kong medium professionals
have been assaulted more or less in recent years.
In June 2013, Chen Ping, founder of “iSun Affairs”,
was assaulted by 2 men holding wood sticks.
Mr. Chen’s head was wounded.
Office of Li Zhiying’s, founder of “Apple Daily”,
was set on fire.
The manager of Publisher “Qin Li De”
was chopped wounded,
and two of his employees have been
jailed in Shen Zhen Detention Center.
Shi Yongqing, owner of the newspaper “am730”
was intercepted while he was driving, and his car windows were broken.
Liu Jintu, Chief Editor of Hong Kong “Ming Pao”,
was carved three times by someone with a knife.
It’s not clear what kind of threat
that Cai Donghao has suffered.
House News pursued Hong Kong’s real freedom and judicial independence,
which cannot be tolerated by the current political situation.
Moreover, Liu Xiliang, one of the founders of House News,
is the core member and brain of “Democratic Party”.
Zhang Chengjue, former column writer of “Hong Kong News”,
“Right now, the political environment in Hong Kong is really brutal.
The internet scrutiny from Beijing is tighter and tighter.”
Zhang Chengjue stated that right now
the platforms of freedom of speeches are shrinking.
However, Hong Kong citizens have already
directed their spearheads of anger at Beijing’s tyrants, the authoritarians
This year July 1, more than 500,000 marched on the street,
fighting against the terrorism.
Zhang Chenjue also stated that the whole world trend tells us
democracy and freedom are universal values, which can never be changed.
