"... A former philosophy student, he left his job in the human resources department of his alma mater, Xiangtan University, in 1992. ... Mr. Fu’s first novel, Green Porcelain released in 2006, about guanxi in an auction house, sold more than a million copies and was serialized by the Web portal Sina.com, earning Mr. Fu nearly 4 million renminbi, he wrote. ... He went into business, eventually becoming the legal representative of an auction company, which he declined to name. Bribing officials was part of the job. ... By 2003, Mr. Fu had become enmeshed in a major corruption scandal involving justice system officials. “Friends” sold him out to the authorities.
