My works are Chinese literature, which is part of world literature. They show the life of Chinese people as well as the country's unique culture and folk customs.

I know what real courage is, and I understand true compassion.

Loneliness and hunger were my fortunes of creation.

When someone forces me to do something I don't do it.

I think writers write for their consciences, they write for their own true audiences, for their souls.

No person writes to win awards.

Where there's life, death is inevitable. Dying's easy; it's living that's hard. The harder it gets, the stronger the will to live. And the greater the fear of death, the greater the struggle to keep on living.
