Abstract British colonists initially brought the colonial logic of “ego” and “other” into Hong Kong which regarded “Chinese ( including Hong Kong people)” as “other”,and has thus established a “pseudo-subject” consciousness characteristic of colonialism. “Pseudo-subject” consciousness is the root cause of Hong Kong’s national identity crisis. After the reunification, due to the post-colonial cultural infiltration, the symptom, instead of perishing, has become more serious. According to the theory of Lacanian psychoanalysis, Hong Kong people must use reflective “self” to dissolve “pseudo-subject” so as to lift themselves out of the national identity crisis. At operational level, we should promote Hong Kong’s (China’s) traditional culture of inclusiveness to guard against homogenization (westernization) of cultures and values, and take into our own hands the right to write the complete history of Hong Kong (and not just the colonial history).
