Amid the latest development of COVID-19, the Research Centre for Chinese Literature and Literary Culture (RCCLLC) continued to organise a variety of online activities. During the first half of 2021, the 23rd Reading Club for HK Literature, “Hong Kong in the Prose of Taiwan”, was held. Moreover, RCCLLC co-organised three “Hong Kong Literary Culture Salons”, which covered the topic of Hong Kong culture on media, creation of writing and Compendium of Hong Kong Literature 1950-1969 respectively, as well as a postgraduate student seminar titled “Mo Yan in response to the Novel Prize Complex”, which was held on 8 April 2021. On 21 May, the “International Symposium on Hong Kong Language and Literary Culture: Japan and Hong Kong 2021” was successfully held. RCCLLC also co-organised the fifth “Undergraduate Academic Conference on Humanities”, where more than 80 undergraduate students from a variety of local and overseas academic institutions took part by presenting their papers on 18 June.
In addition to academic activities, the Centre will also launch a new project titled “Tai Po Literary Trail”. Funded by Tai Po District Council, it aims to promote the local literature of Tai Po. Last, “Clicking Hong Kong Literature”, an online exhibition on Hong Kong literature organised by RCCLLC, was also completed and inaugurated for the public at the end of June.
