My City, authored by Xi Xi, is undoubtedly a classic in Hong Kong literature. It provides a good example for a series of later works aiming at writing about Hong Kong. Ke Lok (Leung Wai-lok), a Hong Kong young writer born in the late 70s of the last century, has taken over some characters from Xi Xi's My City in The Whale City, published in 2009, which imagines their thoughts and feelings of living in Hong Kong in the first decade of the 21^(st) Century. This paper focuses on the intertextuality between My City and The Whale City. It examines the dialogue and communication between the two texts, and discusses the writing strategies adopted by The Whale City which was taken over from My City in describing three characters: A-Guo, A-Fa, and A-You, and its innovation. Furthermore, this paper also cites the theory of developmentalism to explain the novel's pondering over the present and future of Hong Kong, and explores how the novel reflects the young writer's worries about "My City" and his expectations on the future directions of "My City"
