Abstract

Before the return of Hong Kong to China, the British Hong Kong government implemented education without state or ethnicity, using textbook narratives to propaganda the superiority of Western civilization to eliminate the cultural identity of Hong Kong people, suppress nationalist trends to prevent the outbreak of anti-imperialist movements, alienate Hong Kong people's national emotions to make them indifferent to their national identity, promote Western style democracy to dilute pre-return national education. In the era of patriots administering Hong Kong and governance to prosperity, Hong Kong's basic education will integrate the awareness of the Chinese nation's community into its curriculum and textbooks, focusing on Chinese language, Chinese history, citizenship and social development, and is committed to the overall reshaping of cultural identity, historical identity, and political identity. The reform of basic education in Hong Kong plays an important role in strengthening the awareness of the Chinese nation as a community: it is conducive to building a spiritual home for Hong Kong's young students to strengthen the awareness of the Chinese nation as a community, helping Hong Kong students resist various risks and challenges to safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests, and strengthening interactions, exchanges and integrations in education sectors between Hong Kong and the mainland.
