This chapter compares two types of love that can allegedly emancipate others from the continued dominance and oppression of past colonial relations in order to achieve belonging to a decolonized community. Specifically, I will employ Confucianism to illustrate a kind of differential love; love that is benevolent between people who take up higher and lower social roles, in contrast to a universal love for all humanity. Benevolent love is hierarchical rather than equal, yet it is also potentially universal because all humans necessarily play roles in a certain hierarchy, with Confucianism being just one of them. Confucian love alludes to ontological equality for all, to the extent that individuals’ identities outside of their roles are free from interrogation. I will also use ‘One Country, Two Systems’ (OCTS), which is Beijing’s policy for arranging Hong Kong’s way of belonging to China (PRC), to illustrate how the differences between benevolent love and universal love mean that those who subscribe to each form of love are unable to understand each other in practical situations. Ironically, however, a benevolent love that aims to inspire everyone’s selflessness discourages the expression of any imagined intrinsic self-worth. According to the belief in benevolent love, legitimate claims to self-worth instead exist exclusively in one’s reunion with the motherland, as opposed to one’s own humanity. Among activists who insist on Hong Kong autonomy, a universal sense of solidarity develops and challenges Beijing’s pursuit of national unity. As a result of this dissonance, the incongruent emotions of Hong Kong’s belonging to China have yet to be reconciled.
