Documentaries of writers are still a relatively new subject in the field of academic research, and Liu Yichang is a generational legend for Hong Kong literature. He not only wrote timeless masterpieces such as “The Drunkard” and “Intersection,” he has been a big supporter for the younger individuals involved in literature. Director Ben Wong completed filming the documentary “LIU Yi-chang: 1918” in 2015 as it included Liu Yichang in real time, actors portraying him in the past, and others playing fictional characters in his literature. This study uses text analysis and in-depth interviews to explore the narrative features of the documentary as the first chapter is the introduction of the study; the second chapter introduces about how the director “tailors” the documentary to match the protagonist; the third chapter discusses the narrative strategy of the literary works in the documentary; the fourth chapter then discusses the narrative strategy for the cities Liu has visited in the documentary, and fifth chapter is the conclusion.
