摘要：《细说香港民间推普七十年》系统回顾了自二战后至2017年，香港民间推广普通话的七十年历程，详细介绍了以刘秋生、张家城、许耀赐等为代表的推普先行者，通过成立各类民间组织如香港普通话研习社、香港普通话教师协会、香港普通话教育中心等，编写教材、举办课程与活动等方式，积极推动普通话在香港的普及。该书不仅梳理了香港推普的重要事件与人物，也反映出推普工作从兴趣驱动到功利需求转变的社会背景。也启发我们在了解历史的基础上，结合语言生活调查、新科技手段，进一步推动普通话在香港的普及，助力香港融入国家发展大局。

Title: A Historical Record of the Pioneers in Mandarin Popularization in Hong Kong — A Review of A Detailed Account of Seventy Years of Civil Society-Led Mandarin Popularization in Hong Kong
Abstract: A Detailed Account of Seventy Years of Civil Society-Led Mandarin Popularization in Hong Kong systematically reviews the seventy-year journey of civil society-led Putonghua promotion in Hong Kong from the post-World War II period until 2017. It details the efforts of pioneers such as Liu Qiusheng, Zhang Jiacheng, and Xu Yaoci, who actively promoted the popularization of Mandarin in Hong Kong by establishing various non-governmental organizations (e.g., the Hong Kong Putonghua Study Society, the Hong Kong Mandarin Teachers Association, and the Hong Kong Putonghua Education Centre), compiling textbooks, and organizing courses and activities. The book not only documents key events and figures in the Mandarin Popularization in Hong Kong but also reflects the shift in motivation from interest-driven to utilitarian purposes. Furthermore, it inspires further efforts to promote Mandarin in Hong Kong by leveraging historical insights, language life surveys, and new technological means, thereby facilitating Hong Kong's integration into the national development framework.
