What am I doing?

I am raising money to go to Hong Kong to conduct research . Specifically to conduct oral interviews with local people. This is for my independant research project (or otherwise known as a dissertation) I have to complete to get my history degree.

There is a lack of historical accounts looking at how the people of Hong Kong reacted to the Handover. This project aims to specifically unveil and analyse the experiences of the people of Hong Kong between 1979 and 1997 with regards to the Handover. In particular, how people viewed the Handover, how that changed over time and how the Handover influenced their decisions. The project will also show whether factors such as class, gender or age had an influence on how the people reacted and what they did.

由於有關香港人對回歸的反應及想法的歷史研究暫為尚少，所以 我今次眾籌是希望去香港面對面訪問本地居民作為資料搜集。 這次研究目的是希望可以揭開香港人在1979至1997，面對回歸中國的經歷和感受，亦會分析回歸對不同年紀、性別及社會階層所帶來的影響。

Who Am I?

I am a history undergraduate student from Hong Kong who just completed his second year at the University of Essex. I love history and really hope to use this chance to preserve one of the most unique examples of decolonisation. It is up to the people of Hong Kong to preserve our unique history and it would be an honour for me to play a part.

我是一名來自香港的歷史本科生。

You can help preserve a Part of Hong Kong's History

This project means a lot to me personally as a Hong Konger and as someone who loves history. This is also the defining piece of work for my history degree. But I also recognise that this is bigger than just my own selfish desires and I hope to play a part in preserving Hong Kong's unique history. And by donating to this campaign, you can help preserve a part of Hong Kong's history.

作為香港人和一名歷史迷，這次研究對我據有重大意義。這次研究也是我的歷士學位畢業論文。但是我明白這次研究亦對香港人據有意義，我希望用這個機會保存香港的獨特歷史。如果你願意捐款，你也會對保存香港的歷史作出貢獻。
