Ge Fei (original name: Liu Yong) was born in Jiangsu Province in 1964. He graduated with a degree in Chinese from Shanghai’s East China Normal University (ECNU) in 1985 and taught at ECNU for several years after graduation. In 2000, he received his PhD in Chinese literature and joined the faculty of Qinghua University in Beijing. He published his first story “Remembering Mr. Wu You” in 1986, followed by “Mizhou” in 1987, a story which brought him instant fame. Several of his short stories have been translated into English, French, Japanese, and Italian. Renmian Taohua was published by Chunfeng Wenyi Publishing House in 2004. Professor Ann Huss won a PEN translation grant for this project in 2006.
