Abstract

The ocean element appears frequently in Hong Kong new literature, and many writers emigrating from the mainland to Hong Kong have shown a pro-sea characteristic in their works. Specifically, the ocean space shaped by the leftwing writers in their Hong Kong-related writing project the triple identity and emotional expression of "emigrants", "leftists" and "Chinese nationals", and present multidimensional and complex aesthetic implications, literary value and social significance by combing personal lyrical discourse, historical political discourse and nation-state discourse. The textual representation of the entanglement between ocean landscape and individual experience by the leftwing writers emigrating from the mainland to Hong Kong is not only a vivid example of the vitality of leftwing literature in Hong Kong, but also a typical construction of the "guest" literary form of migrant literati. Therefore, the study of the leftwing writers’ literary practice in Hong Kong from the ocean perspective also contributes to the study of the interwoven development of Hong Kong literary circles and leftwing literature in the first half of the 20th century.
