Thesis Title: A Study on the Classical Poetry Shi and Lyrics Ci Written by “Poets from the Mainland” in Twentieth Century Hong Kong

In the history of literature of Hong Kong, “Authors from  the Mainland” is not simply a kind of “regional indication”, but a concrete and objective reality. Due to the cross-cultural background of authors who are from Mainland China, their writing in classical-style Chinese and the transition of mentality behind writing are not only  important  to the history of literature, but also a significant perspective used to explore the construct of identity of literati in Hong Kong.
