本文以雷震兩次赴港建議為例證，探討1950年代台灣的香港文化與傳播政策上，雷震如何以開闊的視野與人文的精神，在跨越1949年的危殆局勢中，為台灣爭取更大與更穩固的國際宣傳空間。雷震協助《香港時報》在香港創刊，復兼「香港時報管理委員會」委員兼秘書，此一遭到國民黨史料隱沒的史實再現，可說明此一對香港文藝有相當影響的報社與副刊，奠基與起源的背景。雷震還為新亞書院爭取到奧援，教育部每月撥給錢穆港幣三千元，供新亞書院度過資金困境，前後長達四年。雷震兩次香港考察還有考察第三勢力知識份子的任務，並聯繫聲援第三勢力的張丕介與徐復觀，改善國民政府與第三勢力間的關係。研究發現，雷震跨越1949年的身影至為關鍵，為台灣藉由香港報刊與教育機構建構「自由中國」的想像共同體，希望在文化上能夠保存傳統文明、倡議自由主義、實驗民主制度並推動多元的文藝思潮

This paper aims to discuss how Lei Zhen endeavored to get greater and more constant international publicity for Taiwan with his ambitious vision and humanistic spirits by taking Lei Zhen's two visits to Hong Kong as examples. The fact that Lei Zhen helped found Hong KongTimes and was the committee member/secretary of Hong Kong Times Management Committee is neglected in Kuomintang's historical records. Therefore, this paper rediscovers the historical fact to illustrate the founding and originating background of this influential newspaper and its literary supplement in Hong Kong's literary field. Also, due to Lei Zhen's advice, Ministry of Education had subsidized Chien Mu 3,000 Hong Kong Dollars a month for four years, which helped New Asia College to overcome the financial difficulty. Lei Zhen visited Hong Kong twice to conduct a survey of the intellectuals of the third force. He also established ties with Zhang Pi-jie and Hsu Fu-kuan and expressed support to them, which improved the relationship between Kuomintang government and the third force. Research shows, Lei Zhen played a crucial role before and after 1949 in building the imagined communities of Free China for Taiwan through Hong Kong newspapers and educational institutions. He sought to preserve the traditional civilization, advocate liberalism, try out democracy and promote diversified literature
