Abstract
For decades, the changing articulation of patriotism has been traced in various domains. Simply put, patriotism has been viewed as one of the necessities of being a good citizen and the term often denotes a specific loyalty virtue. Patriotism can motivate people together to overcome crisis. Thus, when coronavirus epidemic has been faded in China, it is believed that such a result can be attributed to the current solid practice of loyalty among citizens in China. The success of anti-epidemic, however, is destined to motivate an increasingly strident blend of patriotism. Nevertheless, what as if a society is willing to use preemptive violence to defend the nation? Take social movement as example, the notion of popularity is a long standing topic all over the world. However, while there are worldwide emergence of social movements. The fundamental question that arises then is why there is a disparity of social movements between Hong Kong and China? While the emergence of social movement in Hong Kong have become much more radical and diverse, what are the forcing factors to make the social movement can run away with the impact from the other regions. For these reason, this study explores patriotism to verify its key predictors and mediators for the betterment of identity in depth. More importantly, this study want to review whether the notion of identity is a core factor to distinguish the different way-outs towards social movement between China and Hong Kong.
