The Asia Literary Review was a quarterly literary journal published in English and distributed internationally. It included articles of fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and the photography genre. The journal first published in Hong Kong [1] in 2000 [2] as a small local literary journal called Dim Sum, founded by Nuri Vittachi. Later, Nuri became involved with British businessman and philanthropist Ilyas Khan, who provided encouragement and financial support for the first decade. [3] Khan was a Hong Kong supporter of arts and together they created an international showcase for writers from the Asian region. [4]

[5] After a year-long hiatus on its Twitter account, the Asia Literary Review posted an uncaptioned photo of the goddess of democracy on June 4, 2020, the 31st anniversary of its destruction in Tiananmen Square.
