Gao Yang Portfolio (Second Issue)

Author: Gao Yang
Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2003-05-01
Features: Since engaging in historical fiction writing, over two decades of effort have accumulated. I have written a certain number of books, and the total number of words is also considerable. To be honest, even I myself am not entirely clear about it. Roughly speaking, I have published over sixty books; in terms of word count, I write an average of 3,000 words per day, resulting in a million words annually. Conservatively estimated, it is at least twenty-five million words. The phrase "a body of work as tall as the author" feels entirely justified. With five thousand years of history and an ocean of historical facts, the themes for my novels are inexhaustible. What is even more gratifying is that my readers can be found everywhere in the global Chinese community. Some readers' generous praise and earnest encouragement fill me with a mix of gratitude and humility. Since engaging in historical fiction writing, over two decades of effort have accumulated.
