一个既有华人又有基督徒的村庄里的人们如何调和他们的宗教和种族身份之间的矛盾？本研究旨在探讨香港族群认同的建构及其意义的变迁。在世纪之交，客家基督徒为了逃避在中国的苦难和歧视，建立了双贤堂，被建造成一个“理想的”中国和基督教村庄。客家基督徒将与他们的基督教理想不相容的“传统”中国信仰，如祖先崇拜和死亡仪式，转化为世俗形式，提供了与过去和中国身份的重要联系。尽管有相反的指责，这些村民坚持认为，虽然他们是基督徒，但他们仍然是中国人。"
How do the people of a village that is both Chinese and Christian reconcile the contradictions between their religious and ethnic identities? This ethnographic study explores the construction and changing meanings of ethnic identity in Hong Kong. Established at the turn of the century by Hakka Christians who sought to escape hardships and discrimination in China, Shung Him Tong was constructed as an "ideal" Chinese and Christian village. The Hakka Christians translate "traditional" Chinese beliefssuch as ancestral worship and death ritualsthat are incompatible with their Christian ideals into secular form, providing a crucial link with the past and with a Chinese identity. Despite accusations to the contrary, these villagers maintain that while they are Christian, they are still Chinese."
