Wang Anyi is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on March 6, 1954 in Nanjing, China. Wang’s most acclaimed novel The Song of Everlasting Sorrow tells the of an innocent Shanghainese girl in 1940 to her death following her death during the Cultural Revolution. Though the book was released in 1995, it has often regarded by the public as a contemporary classic. Wang has been compared to the other female novelist who hails from Shanghai, Eileen Chang, since both stories usually take place in Shanghai and offer precise and vivid details of the city.
Through the lonely years of the country, “reading books and writing in my diary became even more precious to me”. Wang had hoped to enter a university as a Worker-Peasant-Soldier student but without a recommendation her dream was not realized. But, since she could be an accordionist, she got a job with the Xuzhou Song and Dancing Cultural Troupe, where she could perform the cello. In her spare time, she continued to write and started publishing short stories in the year 1976. She was allowed to go back in Shanghai in 1978, and began working as editor for the literary journal Childhood (Er Tong Shi Dai ).
Since Baotown, Wang began exploring social taboo subjects. Her three novellas on forbidden carnal love, namely Love on a Barren Mountain (1986), Love in a Small Town (1986), and Brocade Valley (1987), provoked much controversy despite virtually no depictions of sex. Her 1989 novella Brothers made forays into the fragile same-sex, non-sexual female bond. However, in a 1988 interview Wang stated her “purpose and theme” have been consistently about man and love.
Wang has tried other forms of writing. In 1996 Wang co-wrote the period film Temptress Moon with director Chen Kaige and Shu Kei. In 2007, she translated Elizabeth Swados’ My Depression: A Picture Book from English.
After graduating in middle school Wang received the obituary of being “sent down” to the rural area from Wuhe County, Anhui–then an impoverished region plagued by the famine. The experience of ruralization traumatized her. In the latter part of the 1980s, Wang said: “When I left, I left with the feelings of escaping from hell.”

Wang has served as vice-chairperson of the China Writers Association since 2006 and a professor of Chinese Literature at Fudan University since 2004.
In 1980 Wang became a professional writer, and that year received training from the China Writers Association at the Lu Xun Literary Institute. Her earlier works focused on individual experiences rather than the collective, politics-oriented literature advocated by the state. In 1982 and 1983, her short story “The Destination” and novella Lapse of Time won national awards. In Lapse of Time, Wang shifted from emotional intensity in her previous work to the mundane day-to-day lives. But it was a 1983 trip to Iowa City, Iowa, United States for the International Writing Program, with her mother Ru Zhijuan, that redefined her career. There she met writer Chen Yingzhen, a social activist and Chinese nationalist from Taiwan, whose humanistic worldview and encouragement strongly influenced her. This experience “led to the profound discovery that she was indeed Chinese and to the decision to ‘write on China’ when she returned”. In her first major work after the trip, the award-winning novella Baotown (1985), Wang focused on the culture of rural China, drawing from her own experience. The benevolent child protagonist is contrasted with selfish, prejudicial, cruel and close-minded adult villagers, and Ying Hong remarked that Wang used “words that carry not the least hint of subjectivity she casually tosses forth a whole string of ‘slices of life’.”
