culture - Mian Mian joins SFCC for informal talk

The Shanghai-based writer Mian Mian will join the Shanghai Foreign Correspondents Club on 24 February. Due to the informal character only up to 20 people will be allowed at the meeting. Please ask Crystal Mo for details.
Mian Mian just returned from a book tour in the US where her book 'Candy' has been released. She will talk about the book, that focuses on her earlier life in China, and her experiences in publishing a book in the US. Read here more on Candy or listen to Mian Mian here.
Mian Mian was the first Chinese woman to write candidly about her own life in a rather autobiographic novel. Since then others have followed her, like the now more famous 'Shanghai Baby' by Wei Hui. Her translations for the US market comes long after she conquered markets elsewhere.
