This paper introduces Liu Zaifu and Liu Jianmei’s concept of drift aesthetics, situates it in its philosophical, aesthetic, and political context, and discusses the import and impact of new publications of his work in mainland China. The paper argues that Liu Zaifu’s drift aesthetics invert traditional and socialist aesthetic judgment in order to locate beauty outside the boundaries of the nation, along horizons, and in the romantic sublimity of distance. Even though Hong Kong writing by the Lius has been carefully selected for republication in the PRC, exile experience and exile aesthetics are inscribed into these reprint texts.
