People’s love of the city of Hong Kong creates a unique local culture. Accompanying this culture, a distinctive creative spirit that blends the East and West, and merges the tradition and avant-garde, is emerging amongst Hong Kong young creators. Hong Kong’s pop culture in the forms of novels, movies, comics and others has been deeply influenced by the traditional Chinese culture. The characters created by Jin Yong, a Hong Kong Wuxia (martial arts) novel master, in his works and the characters in Hong Kong movies have become legends among global Chinese communities. Benefitting from this traditional advantage, the new generation of Hong Kong creators transform the classical entertainment content into new and unique digital content by digitalizing it and spreading it on the Internet.
