Features: He Yuru, a native of Shijiazhuang, is a professional writer with the Hebei Provincial Writers' Association. Her works have been serialized in publications such as Novel Selection and Monthly Novel. Her novella When Does the Sun Rise for the People and short story Going Among the Masses were selected for the "2000 China Novel Rankings" and the "Contemporary Chinese Literature New Works Rankings" by the China Novel Society. He Yuru's novels are delicate, lively, clear, and graceful. She is like a "soul hunter," lurking among the grass of human nature, exploring the meaning of life, questioning the hierarchy of souls, and striving to transcend and resist secular life. The techniques of He Yuru's novels are traditional, but the qualities of her characters are avant-garde. She is like a highly skilled ophthalmologist, correcting our increasingly weakened vision. In a certain sense, He Yuru is one of China's most intellectually powerful female writers.
