國家認同是香港回歸以來一直面臨的難題，而國民教育通常是加強國家認同的基本方式和主要手段。 回溯香港回歸前後的國家認同與國民教育歷程，香港在國民教育領域基本上形成了去政治化保守主義傳統和反共產主義傳統，這直接導致了香港人的國家認同在政治法律層面與道德文化層面的分野，同時又將具體的本土主義情懷與抽象的道德文化認同結合，這為回歸後香港的國家認同埋下了隱患，其中“修例風波”便是政治認同衝突的極端表現。 《香港國安法》的實施為國民教育新的開始和政治認同的破冰提供了新的契機，但依然任重道遠。
National identity has been a longstanding issue for Hong Kong since its return to Chinese sovereignty, with national education typically serving as the primary method to reinforce it. Examining the evolution of national identity and education before and after Hong Kong’s return reveals a depoliticized conservative tradition and an anti-communist stance within the realm of national education. These factors have directly contributed to the fragmentation of Hong Kong residents’ national identity between political-legal and moral-cultural dimensions. Simultaneously, the blending of specific nativist sentiments with abstract moral-cultural identities has created potential pitfalls for Hong Kong’s national identity post-return. The Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement epitomizes the extreme discord in political identity. While the introduction of the Hong Kong National Security Law offers a fresh opportunity to reinvigorate national education and bridge political identity gaps, there remains a considerable journey ahead.
