The Fundamental Tenets of Early Hong Kong Modernism
The study of Hong Kong modernism often uses the term “modernism” without a clear definition. For instance, Liu Yichang yu Xianggang xiandaizhuyi (Liu Yichang and Hong Kong Modernism), edited by Leung Ping-kwan et al. and published in 2010, discusses Hong Kong modernism, arguing that it shares similarities with Shanghai modernism while differing from its Western counterpart.
