| Objectives |
-
Reorganize the information on Hong Kong literary history during the Japanese Occupation by searching newspapers and books, and by updating the bibliography;
-
Analyse the “Peace Literature” theory and related works during the Japan Occupation;
-
Discuss, analyse, and comment on the value of the literature during the Japanese Occupation by focusing mainly on Dai Wangshu and Ye Lingfeng, and by comparing their works with those of Chen Jun Bao, Huang Lu, and other writers.

|
| Methods Used |
The research focuses on the two scopes of the Hong Kong literature under the Japanese Occupation: (i) the theory and related literary work of “Peace Literature,” and (ii) the literary works written by the writers who did not support the Peace Literature, including the works of Dai Wangshu, Ye Lingfeng, Chen Junbao, Huang Lu, Ling Xiaosheng, and so on. However, the dissent and sarcasm in some Peace Literature and the pro-Japan and patriotically sarcastic ideas in some of the works by other parties' authors such as Ye Lingfeng make distinguishing one from the other difficult. |
