Abstract: Ji Xian（Luyisi），an important Taiwan modernist poet，had always been closely related to Hong Kong and played a significant role in Shanghai-Hong Kong and Taiwan-Hong Kong poets exchanges. He had historical connections with Hong Kong where he studied when he was young；this experience left him profound memories and influenced his later writings. When in Shanghai，he and Dai Wangshu and others advocated modernism；with some young poets he set up the magazine Shizhi and interacted with other publications such as Beijing’s Xiaoya and Fuzhou’s Pages of Poems. Hong Kong’s modernist magazine Love Pea Monthly also joined this group，forming a base for the emerging modernist poetry during the 1930s. Hong Kong’s poet Ou Wai’ou published poems in Shizhi and Ji Xian published about 30 poems in Love Pea Monthly；they became important presence in the history of Hong Kong’s modernist poetry. During the period of Anti-Japanese War when he sought refuge in Hong Kong，he had further association with Ou Wai’ou and their poems shared the same spiritual standing about colonial modernity. After Ji settled down in Taiwan，he established Modern Poetry，advocated movement for modernist poetry，and through poems and magazines had frequent interactions with Hong Kong’s modernist poet Ma Lang and his magazine The New Literary Trend，having promoted exchanges among Taiwan and Hong Kong poets at the backdrop of the cold war. When he lived in the United Stated in his old age，he continued to publish poems in Hong Kong Literature. Ji’s close contacts with Hong Kong made him partially part of Hong Kong’s literary history.
