"The dominant narrative in Hong Kong is either looking at Hong Kong from the West, or Hong Kong from Hong Kong, or China from Hong Kong, and rarely Hong Kong from China. If so, Hong Kong is often viewed from the perspective of historical China, rather than from the current or future China. Colonial rule meant not only the seizure of territory, but also the seizure of the mind, which led to a change in self-identity that slowly justified the seizure of territory. In the process, culture and politics are intertwined, affecting the joys and sorrows of Hong Kong's story. ”

It is precisely around the remaining issue of "spiritual occupation" that on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Professor Qiang Shigong has completely revised his famous book "Hong Kong, China", with more than double the length of the original edition, starting from the interactive perspective of the global "empire-civilization" order since the Great Voyage, telling the ins and outs of the Hong Kong issue before the 97th Anniversary with historical theory, showing Hong Kong in the interaction between the British rulers in Hong Kong and the Chinese elite, the contest between different forces in Hong Kong, the game between China and Britain, and the competition between global powers. the bumps and ups and downs in the choice of roads and the rebuilding of order; He also proposed to "use Hong Kong as a method" to make full use of this "new frontier" of civilization integration, not only to solve the urgent practical problem of the return of Hong Kong people's hearts, but also to think about the long-term strategic issues of China's rise and civilization rejuvenation.
