This thesis looks into the leftist literary periodicals published in Hong Kong with an aim to investigate the adjustment and alterations undertaken by the "Leftist Cultural Circle" around the period of the "1967 Riots". It presents a selection of three leftist literary periodicals, namely Haiguang wenyi 'Hai Kwang Literature', Wenyi shiji 'Literature Century' and Qingnian leyuan 'Youths' Garden', which respectively belonged to the leftist publisher in Hong Kong, the China News Agency of the Overseas Chinese Commission in Beijing and the underground organisation in operation in Hong Kong from the base in Guangzhou. Unlike previous studies which depicted or studied the "Left" as if it were a single body, this thesis addresses the varying changes as observed in these three periodicals before and after the riots in 1967 and argues that the Communist Party of China (CCP) made use of the local cultural publications by different agents of the power structure to serve different goals and missions. It is thus an attempt to reveal the complexity of the leftist cultural practice in Hong Kong.This thesis is divided into six chapters. Chapter One gives an overview of the relevant research and sets forth the research objectives and scope as well as the perspectives and methodology. Chapter Two discusses Haiguang wenyi, a periodical published in Hong Kong targeting the local high intellectuals, and in particular analyses such elements as its features and changes in relation to the "United Front" strategies adopted by its affiliated organisation and editors. Chapter Three discusses Wenyi shiji, a periodical of the Overseas Chinese Commission in Beijing targeting the readers in Southeast Asia or Nanyang 'South Seas', and it analyses the features and changes in relation to the Hong Kong Branch of the China News Agency, then a subsidiary of the Overseas Chinese Commission. Chapters Four and Five discuss Qingnian leyuan, a periodical of the Guangzhou-based underground organisation in operation in Hong Kong targeting the local teenagers. Among the three periodicals, this publication is discussed at a greater length because it has the largest number of issues?607 issues in total?, the greatest influence on teenagers and also the deepest relationship with the 1967 Riots. In Chapter Four, it introduces the global and specific features of the said periodical, compares and contrasts it with Zhongguo xuesheng zhoubao 'The Chinese Student Weekly' and explains why it had gradually become one of the most popular teenage periodicals in the 1950s and 1960s. In Chapter Five, it probes into how Qingnian leyuan was, consciously or subconsciously, being tainted with the "red" revolutionary ideology when the Cultural Revolution of the mainland of China was sweeping into Hong Kong, so that it violated the apolitical "grey" policy it had upheld for years, which eventually led to the forcible sequestration by the British colonial administration of Hong Kong. Chapter Six uses an integrated approach to compare and analyse these three periodicals, which targeted different readerships and belonged to different leftist bodies, as well as the factors constraining them at the macroscopic, institutional level. It follows that there was a division of labour within the leftist cultural domain and homogeneity was absent. Different local cultural publications varied in terms of the position and amount of power assumed by the leftist power agents that they actually belonged to, especially when all leftist power agents were affected to varying degrees during the Cultural Revolution in the mainland and the 1967 Riots in Hong Kong. Therefore, this part takes into full consideration the power-control relationship between these power agents and the CCP authority, given the political environment and social atmosphere of the 50s and 60s. In so doing, an understanding of the leftist cultural circle in Hong Kong can be achieved.
