Abstract:

Hong Kong has brought to world literature some of the most prolific and best-loved fiction writers in modern Chinese history. Dung Kai-cheung is one of them — a Hong Kong-based writer who has found the city to be a constant source of inspiration. This article discusses the significance of multiplicity in Dung’s fictional representation of Hong Kong (“the V-City”), focusing on his 2007 novel Histories of Time: The Luster of Mute Porcelain. In this novel, Dung explores the narrative possibility of perceiving Hong Kong as a multi-historical space through the lens of multiplying temporalities. I h

Abstract:

This article reassesses Wayne Wang’s Chinese Box (1997) a quarter century after the film’s production with a focus on ‘transition’. It aims to ‘recover’ Chinese Box on different levels, arguing that this complex film is an important historical artefact from the handover period of Hong Kong and a clear film d’auteur to which the director’s vision is the key. In contrast with the cold critical reception of the film at the time of its release, this article posits that Chinese Box is an accomplished work of transnational cinema that, merging fiction and documentary, constitutes a powerful personal

Abstract:

Children's literature publishing in Hong Kong is supposed to enjoy the freedom of a free market economy and legal autonomy. However, the market structure and the titles available in the market dominated by imported titles reveal that children's books published in Hong Kong have little room to feature the local voice. The market conditions are tough and publishers are incentivised to publish for the larger Sinosphere market. As a result, Cantonese is absent in imported texts annotated with either Mandarin phonetics ruby characters in Hanyu Pinyin or Zhuyin symbols. Non-fiction picturebooks feat

Abstract:

Owlish is a part-realist part-surreal tale of a disgruntled professor in Hong Kong’s fictional double Nevers who unexpectedly falls in love with a ballerina doll. The novel’s plot unfolds against the backdrop of the growing pressure on Hong Kong’s freedoms and its very identity resulting in protests – events concealed by the veil of Dorothy Tse’s inventive language but still unmistakably discernable. This essay approaches Owlish as an academic novel i.e. literary work concerned with university professors and the vicissitudes of their lives within and outside the campus walls. The novel's prota

Abstract Dung Kai-cheung's 董啟章 (1967–) V-city tetralogy was first published right after the Hong Kong Retrocession in 1997. Turning from the foreground of modernization and colonialism's impact to the background of the writer's perspective, we see Chinese literature's profound influence on the writer's creation of a V city—a fictional counterpart of modern Hong Kong. This article questions how textual narratives of places in Dung's four novellas rebuild collective cultural memory with a historical tradition of Chinese literary geography.

Abstract Foreign Domestic Helpers account for nearly half of Hong Kong’s total ethnic minority population and are therefore integral to any discussion of diversity in the postcolonial, global Chinese city.

As such, Hong Kong culture finds itself self-consciously confronting a perennial crisis: as the People’s Republic of China gains increasing recognition in the canons of world literature, Hong Kong’s cosmopolitan culture is

Surrealist visuality prioritizes the novels’ literariness and resists reading Hong Kong literature as political allegory. The precarious human face in Hon and the uncanny doll figure in Tse re-enact surreal experiences of disquietude and liminality.

AbstractThis article explores a little-explored subject in a critical period of the history of Hong Kong and China. Shortly after the surrender of Japan in 1945, China was in the throes of civil war between the Nationalists and Communists while British colonial rule was restored in Hong Kong, The communist victory in 1949 deepened the Cold War in Asia. In this chaotic and highly volatile context, the flows and linkages between Shanghai and Hong Kong intensified as many Chinese sought refuge in the British colony. This Shanghai–Hong Kong nexus played a significant role in the rebuilding of the

Abstract:

Based on eight in-depth interviews, this article analyses the quandary faced by liberal mainland Chinese student migrants in Hong Kong. On the one hand, the liberal pro-democracy movements in Hong Kong are deeply intertwined with the rise of localism, which is based on a dichotomy between Hong Kong and mainland China. On the other hand, a rising, development-centric nationalism in mainland China reduces Hong Kong protesters to unemancipated British colonial subjects. However, in the context of this “double marginalisation,” liberal Mainland students guard a form of liberalism that transcends b

Abstract:

This article aims to give a broad picture of the development of Chinese/China Studies at the University of Hong Kong until the 1970s. Courses on Chinese were conducted from the very beginning of the establishment of the University of Hong Kong. Chinese Studies at the University of Hong Kong started with the first two migrant scholars to Hong Kong and reflected the pre-Republican style cultivated in the imperial civil service examinations. However, the curriculum changed gradually after the establishment of the Department of Chinese. Xu Dishan and Chen Junbao took the reform further. In the pos

Abstract:

In the late 1920s, cultural nationalism in Hong Kong was imbedded in Confucianism, having been disappointed with the New Culture Movement and Chinese revolutionary nationalism.1 It also inspired British collaborative colonialism. This study attempts to explain the link between Hong Kong and the Confucius Revering Movement by analysing the essays on Hong Kong of Lu Xun (1881–1936), the father of modern Chinese literature and one of the most important revolutionary thinkers in modern China.

METHODS The panoramic radiographs of two consecutive series of patients attending the primary dental care departments were reviewed, 862 patients in Hong Kong and 800 in London. The morphology of the stylohyoid complex was allocated to one of 12 patterns. RESULTS A normal styloid process is significantly more prevalent in Hong Kong (P&lt;0.01). A calcified stylohyoid ligament is significantly more common in London (15.8%) than Hong Kong (3.9%, P&lt;0.01), where

Abstract:

Following the trauma of the Second World War, Hong Kong, under British governance, enjoyed considerable economic and political freedom to establish a local entertainment industry. Musical films became a major genre of Hong Kong’s film releases in the 1950s. Local melodramas, Hollywood musicals, celebrities, and ideals of female beauty were all present in the growth of Hong Kong musical films, which culminated in a glorious display of cinematic art. This article aims to provide insight into the popularity of Chinese-speaking musical films by examining the social, economic, and political complex

In the essay, he also mapped out the early beginnings of Hong Kong literature, its intrinsic roots in Chinese literature, and how it has thrived amidst the socio-cultural and historical changes in Hong Kong in the last few decades

Abstract:

This paper examines the interplay between trade and nationalism in the development of Chinese bourgeois nationalism in British Hong Kong in the interwar years (1919–1941). It points out the contingent responses among the Chinese bourgeoisie to the calls of Chinese nationalism. The bourgeoisie were lukewarm to the mobilization of the Chinese anti-British strikes and boycotts in the 1920s. They however organized fundraising movements and charities to support the Chinese defence against the Japanese inroads in the 1930s. The implication of the findings is twofold: first, the operation of Chinese

Abstract Ho A Mei, one of the earliest young Chinese to receive a thorough English education in the colony of Hong Kong, spent ten difficult years from 1858 to 1868, striving to make a fortune in the gold rush Australian colony of Victoria. Here he learnt much about modern business practices and ventures and also protested against the racial hostility that the Chinese encountered. Eventually after his retreat back to Hong Kong and Guangdong Province, he was successful partly because of his experiences in the advanced capitalist economy of colonial Victoria. This led him to move beyond the merc
