Diana Cesar Chief Executive, Hong Kong, HSBC Professor Peter Mathieson Vice-Chancellor and President The University of Hong Kong (April 2014 - January 2018) 6 7 The Story Begins Professor Wai-Fung Lam, Director, Policy for Sustainability Lab and Dr Winnie Law, Associate Director, Policy for Sustainability Lab Hong Kong is usually regarded as a bustling metropolis with highly developed urban landscapes and vibrant economic activities. What has often been overlooked though, is that over 75 percent of the land in the territory is actually covered by rural areas, including more than 700 indigenous and non-indigenous villages therein. These rural areas and the traditional agricultural village culture are an integral part of the socio- ecological landscape of Hong Kong, defining the historical and cultural characteristics of the city. In the past decades, however, we have witnessed a rapid decline of the rural areas amid rapid urbanisation. The pre-revitalized Lai Chi Wo is a typical case in point. The 300-odd-year-old Lai Chi Wo Hakka village is situated in the north-eastern corner of the territory. It is one of the largest remaining traditional Hakka villages in Hong Kong. The village had had a long history of paddy farming but since the 1950s, villagers began to abandon farming and move out to the urban areas or European countries to earn a living. Desertion of the village led to a loss in traditional culture, and changed the natural environment due to a lack of active management. In the late 70s, a substantial part of the surrounding woodland was designated as part of the Plover Cove Country Park. The village was isolated as it was inaccessible by vehicles. With no foreseeable options for the village, the last villager moved out in the 90s. Rural-urban coexistence is not a new concept. It is commonplace worldwide to find villages located in suburbs, and even nestled in national parks. These villages have retained most of its rural landscape and original layout. Other than engaging in agricultural activities, the locals also provide various tourism activities to visitors, thus introducing new elements to the traditional village economy.

  • I Want to Be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition
    Volume 6 Issue 1 2020 “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v6i1.2020.4398 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan The years leading up to the political handover of Hong Kong to Mainland China surfaced issues regarding national identification and intergroup relations. These issues manifested in Hong Kong films of the time in the form of film characters’ language ideologies. An analysis of six films reveals three themes: (1) the assumption of mutual intelligibility between Cantonese and Putonghua, (2) the importance of English towards one’s Hong Kong identity, and (3) the expectation that Mainland immigrants use Cantonese as their primary language of communication in Hong Kong. The recurrence of these findings indicates their prevalence amongst native Hongkongers, even in a post-handover context. 1 Introduction The handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1997 marked the end of 155 years of British colonial rule. Within this socio-political landscape came questions of identification and intergroup relations, both amongst native Hongkongers and Mainland Chinese (Tong et al. 1999, Brewer 1999). These manifest in the attitudes and ideologies that native Hongkongers have towards the three most widely used languages in Hong Kong: Cantonese, English, and Putonghua (a standard variety of Mandarin promoted in Mainland China by the Government).
