Abstract
On July 1 1997, the People's Republic of China resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, in anticipation of change in the conditions of citizenship, there was a debate between a western conception of citizenship focusing on democratic citizenship evolved as a legacy of British rule and Mainland Chinese conception focusing on national identification with the motherland. This study, conducted in the qualitative paradigm and applying the Grounded Theory Method, explores the conceptions of citizenship of two groups of student teachers, one in Hong Kong and another in South China in the first three years of the reunion (1997-2000). A conceptual model for understanding conceptions of citizenship was derived. Its implication for citizenship education was discussed.
