Mainland Chinese schools reopened in Hong Kong (Chinese: 在港復校; lit.
'restoration of the school in Hong Kong') means the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949 as a result of the Chinese Civil War, in which school organizations from the former Republic of China fled to Hong Kong (then under British rule), or later the school's faculty and staff in China escaped the political oppression (ex: 1952 reorganization of higher education in China) of the Communists in mainland China, eventually re-establishing mainland China's schools in Hong Kong.
