Liu Zhenyun's satirical novel I Am Not Pan Jinliang is the latest work by one of the most successful Chinese writers of our time.
Liu Zhenyun (b. 1958), a native of Henan Province in Central China, is a graduate of Peking University and the winner of China's top literary honor, the Mao Dun Prize (2011). He is the author of the novels "Motherland. Celestial. Chrysanthemums" (1991), "Legends of the native land" (1993), "Cell Phone" (2003), "My Name is Liu Yuejin" (2007), "One Word is Worth a Thousand" (2009), etc., novels "The whole earth in chicken feathers" (1991), "Remembering 1942" (1993), etc., several collections of short stories. Having become famous in the late 1980s as one of the founders of Chinese neorealism, Liu Zhenyun experimented with the historical genre in the 1990s, and in the 2000s moved to the field of satirical literature. Liu Zhengyun's laughter reveals the absurdity of the everyday realities of Chinese life, and in this skill the writer is unrivaled in contemporary Chinese literature. The best features of Liu Zhenyun as a satirist and humorist embodied in the novel !"I am not Pan Jinliang" (2012). Truth-seeking of the main character, who was vilified by comparing her to the legendary libertine Pan Jinlian, leads to an incredible chain of events, absurd and yet completely realistic. Behind the external simplicity of the author's language lies a refined style characterized by original and witty imagery.
