Pridružil se je mladim pesnikom v opoziciji, ki so izdajali

mednarodno razpoznavne v osemdesetih letih prejšnjega
stoletja. Leta 1989, po tiananmenskem pokolu, se je

slikarka in pisateljica. Po pokolu na Tiananmenskem trgu
leta 1989 se je skupaj z možem Yangom Lianom odločila

zgodb in esejev. Ko je požela uspeh na Kitajskem in
na Tajvanu, je bilo njeno delo prevedeno v druge jezike,
med njimi v angleščino, nemščino in arabščino.
