Guo Jingming: man of many parts

What they say:

Guo Jingming does a good job attracting teenagers who are into computer games to read; whereas the bad job is he leads readers to believe his works are real literature.

Zhang Ning, literary critic at Beijing Normal University

I see one respected virtue of Guo: whatever slanders surround him, Guo never fights back in public with discourtesy.

Yu Hua, veteran writer

Now it’s mission impossible to afford buying house through writing. Guo Jingming is the only writer who’s able to live the life he is living through writing.

Mo Yan, veteran writer

Guo is a writer and publisher. He has been doing both jobs well. He has zeal and a good sense for publishing. He’s qualified to be in charge of more areas.

Jin Lihong, veteran publisher with Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House

I’m avoiding talking about popular 1980s-born writers like Guo Jingming in public, which I think shows my respect on them.
