Trace of British Colonial Hong Kong

The formation of identity is closely related to lived experiences and subjective feelings associated with everyday consciousness. According to Stuart Hall, “cultural identity reflects the common historical experiences and shared cultural codes” that provide individual becomes “one people”. It gives a hint that the colonial history and the colonial cultural codes are important in shaping Hong Kong’s identity. The aim of this project therefore is to gain insights of Hong Kong identity through and connecting the shared colonial cultural codes in both Britain and Hong Kong.
