法律學者陳文敏帶你遊倫敦；法律是一把雙刃劍，既可保障，又可遏制權利；《國安法》下未審先判，但不能放棄在制度內爭取公義
《記・香港人》第二集的人物是陳文敏，他專長研究人權、憲制和行政法，2002年至2014年曾任港大法律學院院長，為歷任中任期最長。1981年港大法學士畢業後，他到倫敦修讀碩士，當年選修人權法，屬冷門科目，但後來人權法成為香港重要的法律。
今日重遊故地，陳文敏為觀眾介紹倫敦重要的法院及與法律相關的地點，講述英國普通法發展及背後的精髓 - 公義。
「法律本身可以保護基本權利，亦可以遏制權力，法律是一把雙刃劍，整個精神是要維護公義。」
陳文敏曾經指出，《港區國安法》的實施是「禮崩樂壞」，但他卻相信，不能放棄在制度內爭取公義。
《記・香港人》在記錄每個人物當下的故事之外，也希望藉此和大家一同見證這一代香港共同體的走向。
【Hongkongers: A Re-Collection｜Green Bean Media｜Johannes Chan｜Paths of Justice｜20220713】
Legal scholar Johannes Chan guides us through London; law is a double-edged sword, because it can restrict as well as protect basic rights; people are being detained for prolonged periods before trial under the National Security Law, but we can't give up fighting for justice within the system
The second episode of Hongkongers: A Re-Collection features Professor Johannes Chan. The scholar specialises in human rights, constitutional and administrative law. He was the longest serving dean of the University of Hong Kong's law faculty and held the position from 2002 to 2014. He pursued a Masters degree in London after graduating from the University of Hong Kong with a degree in law in 1981. He chose to study human rights, a subject which was less popular at the time but has since risen to prominence in Hong Kong.
As he has returned to London, Professor Chan shows viewers around the city's higher courts and major legal institutions. He explains justice, which underpins the development of common law in England.
"Law can protect basic rights, and it can also restrict fundamental rights. Law is a double-edged sword. The whole purpose of law is to uphold justice."
Noting that the National Security Law would lead to the downfall of Hong Kong's legal system, the academic still believes in the fighting for justice within the system.
In addition to profiling individual Hongkongers and publishing their stories, Hongkongers: A Re-Collection aims to work together with people around the world to witness and chronicle the transnational activities of this diaspora group.
