SUMMARY:‘You need three generations to nurture an elite student’: Main

DESCRIPTION:Set against the backdrop of the arguably disquieting relations
  between Hong Kong and mainland China\, as can be partially ascertained th
 rough the recent student-led Occupy Central Movement\, in this paper I con
 sider the identity constructions of 31 undergraduate mainland Chinese (MLC
 ) students in a Hong Kong university. Drawing on two rounds of in-depth in
 terviews as well as written accounts of the participants collected in a ni
 ne-month ethnographic stint\, in this paper I argue that there emerges a c
 omplex elite identity amongst these students. I explicate an array of atti
 tudes and responses to the elite identity\, from outright assumption to un
 comfortable ambivalence to direct refutation\; I then pinpoint the reprodu
 ctive capacity of generational privileges as characterised by these studen
 ts’ educational\, inter-generational and cosmopolitan capitals.
