  • Football and National Identity in Hong Kong and Mainland China
    The Hong Kong Anthropologist Volume 1, 2007 Football and National Identity in Hong Kong and Mainland China CHAN Kwan Hang, Brooklyn1 Introduction Ernest Gellner believed in today’s world that, “a man must have a nationality as he must have a nose and two ears”. (Billig quoting Gellner 1983: 6) Hong Kong, with its history of being a British Crown Colony from 1898 to 1997, nationality doesn’t come as naturally as Gellner suggested. Residents often convey a weak sense of belonging towards their state, China. This can be seen from the majority of Hong Kong people paying phlegmatic attention to the 1997 handover as the “joy” of returning to the Motherland was shared by only a handful. Some even anticipated adverse prospects in Hong Kong. Fearing the worst, many chose to emigrate. Seven years on, significant change of hearts is still inexistent as today Chinese National Day is still rather overlooked and given the cold-shoulder in Hong Kong (local schools have the option to decide rather they celebrate National Day and most opt not to); and more obviously some people refuse or feel peculiar to call themselves “Chinese”. Seemingly Hong Kong people make little identification with their state, China. However when Yao Ming, a Chinese basketball player of Houston Rockets, visited Hong Kong in 2003 and 2005, stadiums were filled with enthusiastic audience attending a seminar about “Distinguished Chinese”; considerate support was given to China as the team played in the finals of the 2002 World Cup. How does that happen? Why doesn’t the identification persist and expand to other areas? Archetti once said, “Nationalism must be conceived as a cognitive and social arena marked by obligations and not by selfish consideration” (Giulianotti, Williams 1994: 227) This will bring us to the central question I wish to answer in this project.

I would first like to thank my supervisor Dr. Andrea Pontiggia, whose help and guidance proved fundamental for the successful completion of the research. I would also like to thank the professors, teachers, coaches I met during my university years and before. Each of them has contributed to this accomplishment in their own way. I cannot fail to express my deep gratitude to my parents and my brother. They always made their best to support me prior to and during the drafting of this thesis. None of my personal achievement could have been attained without them. An heartfelt thanks to all of my friends. Close or far away, these guys are the people I could not do without. They add colour to the dark days, make the happy ones happier. Lastly, my girlfriend, Federica, deserves a special mention. Source of encouragement and serenity, she has never stopped believing in me even when I did. She knows how hard it was to get here, her strength made it possible.
