One of China's most successful writers, Yan talks about writing fiction in China today. He sees the people's loss of dignity within Chinese culture and under Chinese state power and compromises made by authors faced with this lack of dignity and loss of intellectual integrity. The question is how to compromise in life while remaining faithful in one's writing. In the real world, dignified writing can only come from heroic characters. Born in 1958 in Henan Province, China, he is the author of many novels and short-story collection, including Serve the People!, and has won China's two top literary awards, the Lu Xun for Nian, yue, ri (The Year, the Month, the Day), and the Lao She for Shouhuo (Pleasure). He has been short listed for the Mann Booker International Prize. http://paper-republic.org/authors/yan-lianke/
