Hong Kong Keywords: Imagining a New Future / Edited by Zhu Yaowei

**We need to be more sensitive to the noise of the crowd, just as we think about future research directions.** Hong Kong has a unique history. It was both a special administrative region and a colony. It has always been a place where different cultures collide and meet, and it has great potential for constructing critical discourse. In the past decade or so, Hong Kong society and culture have undergone tremendous changes. It is necessary for us to reimagine the future development, establish our own theories, and respond to, inspire and challenge leading criticisms. This book attempts to explore the possibility of Hong Kong theory with different keywords. The authors come from different academic fields, each with expertise, and different perspectives to examine Hong Kong. The selected keywords have both universal and special meanings, which are applicable to Hong Kong. The specific context can also respond to the world theory. The book is based on language, identity, place/homeland, plus history and nationality, which are two topics that Hong Kong society has paid attention to in recent years. It explores Hong Kong from different angles. This book contains the different views of senior and new scholars, which is a reflection of the importance of the keyword "inheritance" to the future of Hong Kong. "How do we begin to tell our story when we stand under such a big tree?" It is exactly the basic question raised by a group of authors in "Keywords of Hong Kong" in unison... If you look at it from another angle The key word is that there are all kinds of memories and traces that are like the branches of a big banyan, or even the low door frame of an old house. It is faint, and you want to open the door when you see it? It's just that I don't know whether the door is really open, and I don't know what exactly is inside, waiting for me to discover it. 』 ─Zhou Lei (Firor Scott Professor of Literature, Duke University, USA) ISBN: 9789882370500 Finishing: Paperback Language: Traditional Chinese Number of pages: 340 Dimensions: 210 x 148 x 19 mm **Editor's profile** Zhu Yaowei, Professor of the School of Modern Languages and Culture, University of Hong Kong, and Director of Hong Kong Studies Programs.
