今時今日,香港擁有多重身份
——從全球城巿、國際金融中心、前英國殖民地、中國南方城巿,
以至一個擁有獨特本土文化及身份的社會等等,
每種表達方式都強調香港某個特點。
當香港在一世紀前在英國展出時,
會被突顯出哪些面向?
Hong Kong is many things today
- global city, international financial centre, former British colony, southern Chinese city, a society with a distinctive local culture and identity, and so on.
Each highlights a specific dimension of the city.
When Hong Kong was exhibited in Britain a century ago,
what dimensions were emphasised?
在1924至1925年,倫敦舉辦了大英帝國博覽會
(當時亦稱為「英京賽會」),以推動大英帝國內的合作。
香港於專屬的「香港展區」參展,
是在殖民地統治期間,香港在英國進行的最大型綜合展覽。
In 1924 and 1925, the British Empire Exhibition was held in London to promote cooperation within the British Empire.
Hong Kong took part, with its own exhibition area - the Hong Kong Section - which was the largest comprehensive showcase of Hong Kong to take place in Britain during the colonial era.
