Summary 內容: 一國兩制二十年,本來說好是個雙贏創舉,走下來卻越見得像個困獸鬥,與其坐困愁城,不如擴闊想像。我們先從流行文化出發,回溯我城身分認同的前世今生。兩岸三地於八、九十年代經歷各種社會動盪,由封閉邁向開放繁榮,同時對未來感到不安焦慮。回顧此特別時刻的時代曲,尋找當年建構三地身分的線索,或許能啟發我們理解一些現今的矛盾。此講座為通識課程「一國之上、兩制之下」第一節。
 
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the implementation of the “one country, two systems” principle, it seems that more unsettling situations have emerged. Before we find our way forward, let us take a look back in history—how a city’s identity was formed. In this session, Chinese pop songs in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 80s-90s will be shared and discussed. This event is the first session of GE programme ‘Above One Country, Under Two Systems’.
