Twenty years after Hong Kong's return to China, much of the public discourse has focused on political debates—electoral reform, the "fifty years unchanged" framework, and questions of future self-determination. But beyond these disputes, have we overlooked equally important transformations in Hong Kong's collective ethos that have been quietly taking shape since 1997? What exactly is the "Hong Kong spirit," beyond instrumental slogans and rhetoric used to gloss over crises? Have we explored and reflected on it enough? This volume brings together local scholars dedicated to Hong Kong studies. Shifting the lens away from political slogans, the authors return to society, livelihoods, and culture, examining with sharp insight how the notion of the Hong Kong spirit has flowed and transformed over time. The book creates space for reflection, preparing a foundation for the next generation's sense of grounding and direction.

香港回歸20年，除了政改、50年不變之後前途是否自決等等爭論之外，是不是有更多同樣重要的精神面貌，在回歸之後一直在潛移默變，而不為大家所看重？所謂「香港精神」，除了工具性、用來文過飾非的一堆口號和修辭之外，我們對它有足夠探索和反省了嗎？本書由本地從事香港研究的學者撰寫，暫且將關注移離政治口號，重返社會、民生和文化視野，嘗試用敏銳的目光去審視和檢討香港精神的流動和變易，為下一個世代的安身立命準備的反思。
