Wong Bik-Wan (1961- ) is a native Hong Kong writer who has profoundly influenced the narratives and discourses of Hong Kong literature after the 1990s. However, the literary field of Taiwan played an extremely important role in the ''canonization'' of Wong's fictions. The contrast between the reception of Wong in Taiwan and Hong Kong is intriguing. This article first reviews Wong's early experiences and how they relate to Taiwan. More specifically, it discusses the origin of the sentiment in her early works and her connections with the Taiwanese literary circle. Next, by exploring the publication of Wong's early works in Taiwan, this paper outlines the significance of the Taiwanese literary field on Wong's transformation from a writer of popular literature to serious literature, and also shows how she entered the domain of contemporary Chinese literature through the Taiwanese literary community. Studies of Wong's work by two important scholars, Ying-Ying Chien and David Der-Wei Wang, are then referenced to illustrate the Taiwanese perspective on the study of Hong Kong literature. The implications of their research for the canonization of Wong's work in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Sinophone literature are also examined. |
