rship or more job opportunities. What are their motivations and  reasons  to  study  in  HK  leaving  their  loved  homeland  and  sojourning  in  another  alien culture.  Some  students  can  well  adapt  to  the  new  environment,  while,  others  always experience emotional upheavals and psychological confusions. What are the difficulties and barriers  of  their  intercultural  adaptation?  Additionally,  how  does  the  current  academic restructuring  of  HK’s  universities  affect  their  adaptation?  Does  the  current  academic restructuring benefit those students more or bring them much harder intercultural adaptation difficulties? Therefore, the complex experiences of mainland students in HK and the influence of the new academic structure come into being the original rational and fundamental motivation for the author to undertake a study about intercultural adaptation of mainland Chinese students in HK. Finally, the author hopes to find out the efficient ways to improve their adaptation ability through EFL Teaching and Culture Training.

2   Literature Review and Theoretical Considerations 

2.1   Relevant Concepts 
Mainland  Chinese  students  in  HK’s  universities  can  be  conceptualized  and  delineated into the following two categories. The first category is domestic student sojourners. “Sojourn”, the root of “Sojourner”, is defined  in  the  dictionary  as  “a  temporary  stay  or  residence  at  a  place  and  offers  various synonyms:  a  delay  or  digression;  to  tarry,  lodge,  rest,  or  quarter”  (Furnham,  1987,  p.42). When we want to describe individuals who sojourn in alien cultural environments, the word “sojourner” is usually used to denote those travelers who move into new cultural contexts for a  limited  period  of  time  which  lasts  six  months  to  five  years,  and  for  some  specific  goals. They are the people who have freedom and the means to travel (Berry, 2006; Furnham, 1987). Large  quantities  of  people  may  be  classified  as  sojourners,  including  international  students who go abroad to study and business people who go abroad to work for a specific period of time,  technical  assistance  workers,  corporate  personnel,  missionaries  and  so  on.  Some domestic sojourners move from one region to another within their own country for a limited period of time to attend school or work. n  this  sense,  domestic  sojourners  can  be  used  to  denote  mainland  Chinese  students  in Hong  Kong,  for  HK  is  just  one  of  the  Special  Administrative  Regions  along  with  Macao attached  to  the  whole  domain  of  China.  They  also  have  the  following  characteristics:  First, they are now studying in Hong Kong for a limited period of time. Thus, this study leaves out those  students  who  get  degree  by  home  teaching  without  having  firsthand  and  continuous communication with that host culture. Second, they go there voluntarily mainly in pursuit of further studies. As
