On Ge Liang’s Hong Kong Writing

From Nanjing to Hong Kong,the life of the writer Ge Liang has always been related to the city,and the different life experiences of the two cities have not only affected his personal temperament,aesthetic taste and values,but also become an important resource for his literary creation.Hong Kong writing is based on the Hong Kong theme to further express the creative subject’s emotional attitude and value judgment of Hong Kong,therefore,Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing refers to Ge Liang’s writing in some of his works not only using Hong Kong as the background,writing and showing the living habits,emotional ways and living conditions of the people in this city,but also showing his understanding,expectation,memory and imagination of Hong Kong in this writing process.In Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing,Hong Kong is both the background of the story and an important role in the work.Ge Liang’s early short stories "Private Island" and "Ard and Steve" can be said to be his first attempts to write in Hong Kong,and the short story collection "Raccoon",which he called "Novel Hong Kong",represents the first climax of his Hong Kong writing.In recent years,Ge Liang has not only created novellas "Fei Fa" and "Bookmaker" that are closely related to Hong Kong,but also the third novel of his creative career,"Yan Shi Ji",which is closely related to Hong Kong,but also tells a story that takes place in Hong Kong,forming the second climax of his Hong Kong writing.All in all,Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing is an extremely important part of his creation.Based on the literary texts involved in Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing,the author draws on the observations and expositions of kevin Lynch,Yesi,Zhang Yingjin,Wang Dewei and other scholars on the city,and refers to and applies relevant theories and research methods such as text reading,spatial narrative,cultural research,comparative research,and modernity.The paper is mainly divided into three chapters,the first chapter analyzes the "Hong Kong" configuration in Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing,and uses the five elements of the city image to specifically summarize Ge Liang’s "Hong Kong" image and the characteristics of its configuration "Hong Kong",that is,the attempt of the fringe attention center,the contrast of personal Impression of Nanjing and the perspective of culture,and on this basis,the overall depiction of "Hong Kong" in Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing is depicted as a whole.The second chapter deeply examines the characters involved in Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing,of which the three types of Hong Kong people who are marginal,vicissitudes,and vain are more representative.The inner world and life experience of marginalized and vicissitudes of Hong Kong people such as Ade,Dade,Dai Mingyi,Zhai Yucheng,etc.not only reflect the living conditions of individual lives in Hong Kong cities,but also reflect the changes in Hong Kong history and culture,thus embodying Ge Liang’s emotional attitude towards Hong Kong and Hong Kong people,and his thinking on Hong Kong history and reality.The vanity of Hong Kongers such as Mao Guo and Chen Wuju exposes the artistic flaws in Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing.The third chapter excavates Ge Liang’s aesthetic pursuit of Hong Kong writing from many aspects.Ge Liang’s Hong Kong writing not only has a classical,modern and mixed language style in language,showing the linguistic characteristics and artistic charm of his Hong Kong writing,but also depicts the changes in the aestheticization of daily life in Hong Kong society through the cultural observation of Hong Kong urban culture,shows the perceptual significance and value of daily life aesthetics,and also reflects on the ills of consumer culture to a certain extent.Ge Liang also writes about Hong Kong through the creation of "grid objects",using "things" as sustenance,practicing his personal artifact aesthetics,revealing a unique reflection on modernity.
