Abstract/Summary:
Yesi’s literary and artistic activities which include novels,essays,poetries,translations,etc,imply the impulses and efforts of Hong Kong local writers to look for their own cultural identity.The prose creation of Yesi has the character of "Flaneur",which is reflected not only in his own writing style but also in the artistic quality he presented in his essays.Yesi also roamed in the area of modern cities,especially Hong Kong,and sought the meaning of time in different spaces such as cities,nature,and places.Through the writing of city history,daily life and things alike,he realized the goal to construct Hong Kong’s urban cultural identity.YeSi’s prose creations show the artistic characteristics of "crossing the border" and "convergence." The previous is embodied in the transcendence of the genre and the boundary of the art,while the latter is the joint effects of the sensibility and rationality.
