如果被關八個月，精神折磨到幾乎發瘋，你會選擇說出真相，還是從此不再開口？

曾任銅鑼灣書店店長的林榮基，於2026年7月2日在台灣病逝，終年70歲。回顧他的一生，2015年的銅鑼灣書店事件，徹底改變了他的命運，也讓這位低調經營書店二十多年的愛書人，從書店櫃檯後走向鎂光燈前。

1994年創辦銅鑼灣書店的林榮基，原本以文史哲、小說起家，隨著中國政治敏感書需求增加，書店逐漸成為香港販售政治敏感書籍的重要據點。2015年，他在深圳遭中國有關部門拘押八個月，返港後原本奉命取回資料，再返回中國，但當他看到數千名香港市民走上街頭聲援銅鑼灣書店時，決定打破沉默，公開揭露拘禁經過及跨境執法細節。

他曾坦言，拘留期間長期遭受精神折磨，一度萌生輕生念頭，「像我這樣超過五個月，你肯定會發瘋。」但最終，他仍選擇站出來，因為事件已不只是書店或個人的遭遇，更關乎香港的出版自由與言論自由。

2016年，端傳媒兩度專訪林榮基。他曾說：「我希望香港人的言論自由、出版自由不會收縮，生活方式受到保護。很明顯，中國政府現在侵犯了我們，到了我們的底線。」

👉跟著端傳媒兩篇專訪，一起回顧銅鑼灣書店事件，以及林榮基如何從一位書店人，成為一個時代的見證者。

曾是香港銅鑼灣書店店長的林榮基，7月2日晚間於台灣病逝，終年70歲。他因癌症復發，癌細胞擴散至心臟，6月30日住進台北馬偕醫院，7月1日起陷入昏迷，最終離世。

林榮基最廣為人知的是2015、2016年「銅鑼灣書店事件」。他在香港前往深圳時遭拘留，關押約8個月，期間被要求交出禁書訂戶資料，林榮基原擬配合，最後臨陣回頭。

當時，端傳媒記者請林榮基以書表達心情。他沉思數秒，緩緩念出香港作家舒巷城的詩《書枱》：「我沒見過屈膝的書枱，雖然我見過屈膝的讀書人。」

2019年，因《逃犯條例》運動及政治局勢惡化，林榮基離開香港赴台，並於2020年在台北重啟銅鑼灣書店，持續推廣閱讀與保存香港記憶。2022年確診肺腺癌，歷經手術與化療後一度好轉，去年病情復發。他曾坦言，從不擔心會在異鄉病逝，「很多東西是上天安排，人很多時際遇就這樣。」林榮基一生歷經拘禁、流亡與病痛，仍堅持守護出版自由，直到生命最後一刻。

#即時【反抗巨人的賣書佬：從香港流亡台灣重開書店，銅鑼灣書店店長林榮基今日病逝、終年70歲】

因賣書遭中國關押、從香港流亡台灣重開書店的銅鑼灣書店店長林榮基，今日（7月2日）晚間病逝。據香港媒體《追光者》報導，林榮基本週因癌症復發住院，隨後陷入昏迷，今日晚上7點01分於台北馬偕醫院病逝，由一群在台港人朋友陪伴在側。

林榮基在2022年確診肺腺癌，曾接受手術切除五分之二個左肺、歷經5次化療。今年6月林榮基接受《中央社》採訪時表示，位於台北古亭的銅鑼灣書店暫停營業，恢復營業與否取決身體狀況。他當時強調，自由與健康是最重要的事，「只要站在自由的土地上，就可以找到生活。」

■ 2015年銅鑼灣書店事件，中共「跨境逮捕」震驚全球

2015年10月，林榮基從香港入境深圳時，被人拘留，並蒙上眼睛，押上火車帶到寧波關押，但當年香港與中國並無互相引渡的法律。他後來對外說明當時他曾經歷24小時的監視，長達5個月，最後他被告知觸犯了「非法經營罪」──中共當局認為，成立於1994年的香港銅鑼灣書店，賣的書涉及習近平事務和習的情史。

2016年2月底，林榮基被迫認罪，中共當局拍攝了他的自白影片，林榮基後來被移到廣東韶關，安排在一間圖書館工作。2016年6月他回到香港後，才發現竟有6,000名香港人走上街頭聲援在銅鑼灣書店事件被抓的5人（另4位同案被捕者為桂民海、李波、張志平、呂波，其中桂民海在泰國被消失、李波在香港失蹤，更引發中國跨境抓捕的爭議）。

這讓他決定召開記者會說明拘禁經歷：「我在5個人之中負擔最少，假如我都不出聲，香港就沒得救。這不是我個人的事，是香港人的事。香港人是不會向強權屈服的。」

2016年回港後，他持續被威脅。在導演李惠仁2018年拍攝的紀錄片《并：控制》中，林榮基曾回想，中國當局脅迫他交出書店裡買禁書者的名單，當時他做出決定反抗中共的那一刻，人是在香港九龍塘的又一城，一個圍網高牆旁，花了45分鐘抽了3根菸後，最終做出不交出名單的決定。

林榮基說，他在抽菸時想到，一旦交出名單，一輩子都可能要「持續」背叛自己、背叛客人，也讓香港的未來蒙上陰影。而各界對書商和書店的關心，讓他知道，一旦失去了主體性，那他也將不再是香港人。

Even if a game vanishes from the GOG storefront, it never leaves your library.

Exactly as digital ownership ought to be.

起初，他們拿走了實體說明書，
我沒有說話——
因為我早就不看說明書。

接著，他們將遊戲拆成了 DLC，
我沒有說話——
因為我可以等完全版。

後來，他們拿走了光碟與卡匣，
只留下數位版、鑰匙卡與商城授權，
我沒有說話——
因為我說，反正下載也很方便。

最後，他們來拿走我的遊戲庫——
而那時，家裡架上已經沒有一片真正屬於我的遊戲，
能替我說出我的回憶。

As someone who's been collecting physical games since I was a literal child, hearing Sony's decision to cease physical production of games in January 2028 has honestly left me pretty heartbroken.

It's bad enough that so many games don't have the full game on the disc/cart, but now just...nothing at all? One of my favorite parts of finding a game I just LOVE is to lend it to friends or family (many who later buy their own copy if they like it enough) so that I can spread the love of the game and have people to talk about it with. Another one of my favorite hobbies is going to used game stores and hunting for rare treasures that are hard to find. (Plus if games are hard for you to afford, making back some of the money by selling it after definitely helps.) Thinking that future generations won't really have that experience, and that in the future that will be lost for an entire generation of games is...really sad.

I know a lot of games on PC/Steam already are digital only, and gacha/live service is a whole other conversation. And a lot of people buy console games digitally. But I still strongly prefer physical whenever I can and always have. It's also easier to control spending when I have to put in the effort to get a copy, instead of just scroll games and hit "buy now" and oopsies go over budget impulse spending. Knowing that in the future an entire console won't have that option feels...weird.

Their reasoning? Blame the consumers. Say that no one wants physical anymore. But I'm also curious where those numbers come from. (I'm not arguing it, maybe it's true, but I'd like to see it, because almost everyone I know still prefers physical.) Is it just an arbitrary statement made to save money and encourage the death of physical (digital has higher profit margins)? Is it because digital often has better sales, so people will just buy the game in its cheapest form? Is it due to the increasing cost of hardware? Or is it true that people who buy physical games are just a dying breed and the market has no demand for that anymore?

Anyway, I've been rather sad about it today.

While we’re not pleased with the ESA’s behavior (obviously), we’ve received reports of serious threats toward individuals. This behavior does not reflect SKG’s values and anyone found to be doing this will be banned immediately.

[MarcDWyz🕹️ #GameDev @MarcDWyz]

A good time to remind everyone that you can use Heroic Launcher on SteamOS/SteamDeck/SteamMachine to incorporate your GOG library into Steam OS's gaming mode.

(Works for other Linux OSs too!)

[Stop Killing Games Official @StopKilingGames]

This is a grim moment for the gaming community. Sony PlayStation announced today that it will cease all physical games production in 2028. This will essentially erase legal game preservation and ownership on their platform.

The ESA lied to lawmakers to bring down the POG Act

[Peter @PeterP_1985]

With GOG, if you own a game, you can download an offline installer.

You can copy this to an external drive, and whenever you want, whilst offline, you can reinstall and play that game.

You own it, it yours, no DRM.

This is ownership and whilst I mostly use Steam, I have recently started purchasing my absolute fave games on GOG.

In 2024, Nintendo declared war on emulators.

March 4. Yuzu paid Nintendo $2.4 million, deleted its code, and handed over its domain.

October 1. Ryujinx got a phone call. The GitHub organization vanished overnight.

May 2024. Nintendo filed 8,535 DMCA takedowns to scrub Yuzu code from every fork.

By 2026, Nintendo has collected $6 million in emulator settlements.

Every major Switch emulator is dead.

But Nintendo has a problem. His name is Zurdi.

In March 2023, one year before the war started, he quietly built RomM.

RomM is not an emulator. It's a ROM manager. It scans your legally-dumped game files, pulls metadata from IGDB, MobyGames, and Screenscraper, fetches box art from SteamGridDB, and pulls your achievements from RetroAchievements.

Then it lets you play in your browser through EmulatorJS.

Nintendo's own top IP lawyer admitted on the record in January 2025 that this is legal. Emulators only become illegal when they bypass encryption. RomM doesn't. It just organizes what you already own.

9,114 stars. AGPL-3.0. 400+ platforms supported. NES, SNES, N64, Game Boy, GameCube, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Genesis, Atari, DOS, arcade, Flash games through Ruffle.

Official apps for Playnite on Windows. Argosy launcher on Android. Grout for muOS handhelds and the Anbernic devices. Sync plugins for RetroArch, Steam Deck, and Syncthing.

Multi-disk games. DLCs. ROM hacks. Patches. Manuals. Tag filtering. Share your library with friends with permission levels.

Made the front page of Hacker News.

Sony deleted 2,000 PS3, Vita, and PSP games from its store. Nintendo took down every Switch emulator in two years. Your digital library was never yours.

Two guys in a Discord server built the museum they can't take back.

It's 2029
You just bought a PS6
It cost 1200 dollars
All games are digital
They each cost 80 dollars
You have 4 in your library
Yesterday it was 5 but Sony removed one
They offered no refund, its just gone
You'd strangle yourself with the controller cord but its wireless
