| Research Abstract |
Since the foundation of People's Republic of China in 1949 until the total democratization of Taiwan in 1988, Hong Kong, which is situated between China and Taiwan, was the only "Public Sphere" that was free from the severe control by the state governments. There, original culture got matured with the economic development. On 1980's when" Hand Over" problem started to be serious, HK citizens had an eager desire for the forming of Hong Kong Identity, and then literature and films, which have close relationship each other, started to play important roles This research aimed to analyze the formation of Hong Kong Identity, the role that literature and films played in that formation, and the process of the appearance of the idea of "Hong Kong Literature".
