Jia Pingwa Biography

Jia Pingwa is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on February 21, 1952 in Danfeng County, Shangluo, China. The birthplace was Dihua (Di Hua ) Village, Danfeng County, Shangluo, Shaanxi in 1952, just three years after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, as the son of a schoolteacher, Jia Yanchun (Jia Yan Chun ), Jia had an early role model to follow for his subsequent decision to become a journalist. Due to the lack of highly qualified teachers at the time in Shaanxi that time Jia’s father would often be absent from the home, and the majority of his young life with his mom, Zhou Xiao’e (Zhou Xiao E ). With the advent of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, Jia Yanchun was accused of being a counter- revolutionary and he spent the next ten years in a labor camp. A few years after, after the end to all school in China due to the exaggerations from the Red Guards, Jia was sent along with his fellow students to construct reservoirs in the countryside.

in 1986 Jia wrote his novel debut, Shangzhou which tells the story of a young criminal whom police suspect of committing an armed robbery within the city. He decides to seek refuge in his hometown of rural origin which gives Jia an outline of his narrative around that he could compose his popular accounts that describe life as a rural person. The novel was followed by two additional novels: Turbulence in 1987 and Pregnancy in 1988. The flurry of activity abruptly interrupted by the passing his father, Jia’s in the year 1989. Grief would compel Jia to take a more introspective tone with his next project, conceived as a semi-autobiographical account of a morally depraved author from the countryside who has been corrupted by fame. In his 1993 book Ruined City, the frank portrayals of various sexual assaults (drawing parallels to the Ming Vernacular Classic of the Ming Dynasty called Jin Ping Mei) Jin Ping Mei) earned the novel a large public and a 17-year suspension from authorities, which led it to be among the top pirated novels in contemporary Chinese literature.

Despite the ban, Jia continued to write, publishing a trilogy of rural novels: White Nights (1995), Earth Gate (1996), and Old Gao Village (1998). This was followed by the modern fable Wolves of Yesterday (2000), about a Wu Song-like hunter chasing a modern-day environmentalist who turns into a wolf, a historical romance and counter-history Heath Report (2002), and Qin Opera (2005), a challenging work incorporating elements of local Shaanxi operas which earned him the 2008 Mao Dun Literature Award. Over the last decade, Jia has completed five additional novels: Happy (2007), Old Kiln (2011), The Lantern Bearer (2013), Lao Sheng (2014), and Jihua (2016).

Perhaps inspired by the declining condition of his dad who was a victim of drinking, in 1980 Jia wrote his very first book of stories set in rural areas of his native region in Shaanxi, Notes from the Highlands and, in 1982 thanks to his essays and short stories, Jia was admitted the Xi’an Literary Federation, allowing Jia to write fully-time. While he was subject to more scrutiny and was an object of critics throughout the Anti-Spiritual Pollution Campaign of late 1983 Jia’s sketches of the daily life of Shangzhou (the most common name for the region he grew up in) were released to greater and more acclaim and with novels First Records of Shangzhou, Further Records of Shangzhou and More Records of Shangzhou appearing between 1983 and 1986.
