The observations of identities in Hong Kong- before and after the return to ChinaKao, Chin-ling 05 February 2004 (has links)
Hong Kong¡¦s return of sovereignty to China was the focus of world attention, especially how to combine the two different systems in political, economical and social fields, etc. Although Deng Xiao-ping excogitated ¡§One Country, Two systems¡¨, it didn¡¦t figure out all problems. After many years¡¦ separation, Hong Kong was still impressed by the historical miserable memories and the fears of the unknown future.
¡§One Country, Two systems¡¨ perhaps offered an initiative compromise. But the people in Hong Kong were still forcing to face the immediate clash of their identities. The aim of this thesis is to discuss the people in Hong Kong how to deal with the relations of Hong Kong and China, including the feelings of ¡§self/the other¡¨ and ¡§superior/inferior¡¨.
Not only the Hong Kong's developments of political freedom, economy and the standards of living are more advanced than China, but also the emergence of a commonality shared by the population as a whole in Hong Kong. How to fill the gap between both of them is an important issue of the people in Hong Kong.
It seems a mess when we talk about the identities in Hong Kong, since ¡§the Chinese Citizen¡¨ and ¡§the Hong Kong Citizen¡¨ are thought conflicting. The global age also brings the new choice to people in Hong Kong, and especially the value behind the globalization is brand-new idea of identities may reduce their patriotism. As the world¡¦s economy shifts so immediately, whether Hong Kong bends the knee to China for the aids is also the topic we want reach in this thesis.
In the article, we try to explain the relations between Hong Kong and China under the age of the globalization by the approach of postmodernal identity. At the same tome, we regard ¡§the Chinese Citizen¡¨ and ¡§the Hong Kong Citizen¡¨ as the ¡§national¡¨ and ¡§urban¡¨ identity in different layers. And we also suppose the people in Hong Kong deal their own choices of identities by the ¡¨consumer culture¡¨ which comes along with the global society. As the respect of postmodernal identity reveals: the identification is always in the status of¡§becoming¡¨along with different environmental settings.
