ABSTRACT

Xi Xi who started her journey as a writer since the 1950s, is one of the most prolific and prominent writers in Hong Kong. According to a survey done in 2006, Xi Xi was selected as the most representative writer of the metropolitan Hong Kong. In other words, she gained the highest recognition from the local readers. This article aims to discuss the formation of ‘Hong Kong consciousness’ in Xi Xi’s works of fiction. It also analyses how the writing of the common people’s daily life and the allegory of history contribute to the construction of her ‘Hong Kong identity’.
