HongKong Writers:their three Stages in Literary Creation

In terms of literary creation everyone has experienced directly or indirectly drawing on masters of present or past times.Generally speaking,men of letters,including those in Hongkong,have to go through three stages in their literary creation:imitation of modern writers,of ancient ones and creative transformation. That is, firstly, they immerse themselves in the works of modern writers and subconsciously benefit from them.Secondly they get to imitate the works of present and past times,and finally, they,based on their imitation and study,start to make creative transformation.This paper analyses such a phenomenon and regular pattern and recounts my personal experience in this aspect.
