Vol.8, No.2. � 2008 Academy of East Asian Studies. pp.163-177 On the Rooftop: A Study of Marginalized Youth Films in Hong Kong Cinema1 Xuelin ZHOU University of Auckland ABSTRACT Researchers of contemporary Hong Kong cinema have tended to concentrate on the monumental, metropolitan and/or historical works of such esteemed directors as Wong Kar-Wai, John Woo and Tsui Hark. This paper focuses instead on a number of low-budget films that circulated below the radar of Chinese as well as Western film scholars but were important to local young viewers, i.e. a cluster of films that feature deviant and marginalized youth as protagonists. They are very interesting as evidence of perceived social problems in contemporary Hong Kong. The paper aims to outline some main features of these marginalized youth films produced since the mid-1990s. Keywords: Hong Kong, cinema, youth culture, youth film, marginalized youth On the Rooftop A scene set on the rooftop of a skyscraper in central Hong Kong appears in New Police Story(2004), or Xin jingcha gushi, by the Hong Kong director Benny Chan, an action drama that features an aged local police officer struggling to fight a group of trouble-making, tech-savvy teenagers.2 The young people are using the rooftop for an “X-party,” an occasion for showing off their skills of skateboarding and cycling, by doing daredevil stunts along the edge of the building.

In fact, this understanding of history undermines the treatments of history and humankind by Marx and Engels: “But life involves, before everything else, eating and drinking, a habitation, clothing, and many other things. The first historical act is thus the production of the means to satisfy these needs, the production of material life itself. And indeed this is a historical act, a fundamental condition of all history, which today, as thousands of years ago, must daily and hourly be fulfilled merely in order to sustain human life.”72 Whereas Marxist materialism is foremost interested in life as a collective historical trend in which the individual is considered a mere means of production, Wang is more concerned about life as a private practice against the massive political forces of history.

  • Written Cantonese from a Folkloristic Viewpoint
    From Dialect to Grapholect: Written Cantonese from a folkloristic Viewpoint Chin Wan-kan Hong Kong Policy Research Institute Ltd. Abstract Written Cantonese used to prevail in Cantonese opera scripts, pop song lyrics, comic books and other forms of folk literature in the Cantonese dialect areas of southern China. With the economic boom of the 1980s and the export of culture to mainland China, Hong Kongers tend to take pride in their cultural identity and Cantonese is enjoying a resurgence. This paper discusses the spread of written Cantonese in the new media from the point of view of language rights as the right to diversity in post-industrial Hong Kong. The new media and local patriotism: the rising status of written Cantonese in Hong Kong Written Cantonese, or Cantonese transcribed in Chinese characters for the sake of communication (and not merely transliteration), is nothing new in Hong Kong. The earliest traceable documents in Cantonese are the yue ou 粵言區 (Cantonese Folksongs) compiled in 1828 and the New Testament in Cantonese published in 1873 (Cheung, 1996). Written Cantonese can be recognized almost immediately by its locally invented Chinese characters which go with its distinct grammar and vocabulary. It used to prevail in Cantonese opera and traditional folk songs scripts, pop song lyrics, comic books, advertisement captions, popular newspapers and other forms of folk literature. Traditionally it appears in a text accompanied by standard Chinese either with or without quotation marks. In 1990's Hong Kong a new type of written Cantonese is advocated by popular newspapers, trendy magazines and political journals. Contrary to its traditional folkish image, the new written Cantonese is a virtual transcription of the spoken language of the local urban people, with a growing number of locally coined Hong Kong Journal of Applied Linguistics 2,2 (1997); pp.
