Half a Life of Hong Kong Literature

This is a significant collection of Fung Wai-choi's research in the field. This book covers a wide range of topics, offering insightful critiques and discussions. The first volume presents new interpretations of Hong Kong literary classics, including works by Huang Gu-liu, Zhao Zi-fan, and Liu Yi-chang. Fung also examines controversial texts, such as Eileen Chang's "Yang Ge (Rice Sprouting Song)," providing a fresh perspective on their publication and translation. Moreover, Fung's comprehensive review of Chinese new literature in Hong Kong from the 1920s to the 1980s fills a gap in mainland China's research on Hong Kong literature.
