香港地区位于我国南部边陲,包括香港岛、九龙和新界,面积仅一千平方公里。在古代中国数千年的漫长岁月里,这是一个鲜为人知的地区。但是,当西方资产阶级开拓世界市场的狂风巨浪席卷而来之时,香港成为中国最早受到冲击的地区之一,其重要性陡然提高。从鸦片战争开始,中国近代史上许多重大事件都与香港有关。本文征引香港历史上的一些典型事例,从不同侧面分析西方对近代中国社会的影响,以反映笔者对近代中国与世界相互关系的初步思考与探索。
Hong Kong is located in the southern border of China, including Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories, covering an area of only 1,000 square kilometers. In ancient China, a long time of thousands of years, this is a little-known area. However, when the huge winds and waves of the Western bourgeoisie in opening up the world market swept through Hong Kong, it became one of the earliest areas hit by China and its importance rose suddenly. Since the Opium War, many major incidents in modern Chinese history have been related to Hong Kong. This article draws on some typical examples in the history of Hong Kong and analyzes the influence of the West on modern Chinese society from different aspects in order to reflect the author’s initial thinking and exploration on the interrelationship between modern China and the world.
