Qin Wenjun

April 11, 2024

Qin Wenjun (秦文君; born 1954) is an author of children's literature. She writes in Chinese.

Life and work edit

Qin Wenjun was born in Shanghai in 1954. In 1971, as one of the educated youth sent to work in the rural China, Qin was sent to a forested area in Daxing'an Ling Prefecture, Heilongjiang province, in north-east China. Her first publication was a novella "Shining Fireflies" (《闪亮的萤火虫》) in 1981. In 1984 she graduated from East China Normal University's Department of language and literature, and then worked as an editor at the Shanghai Children's Press (少年儿童出版社). She is now Director-General of the Shanghai Board on Books for Young People (SHBBY, part of IBBY), Vice President of the Shanghai Writers Association, and a National Committee Member of the China Writers Association. Qin's novels have been adapted for films and TV series, and have attained China's highest honours for film and TV series. Her works have been translated into English, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, and other languages.

In the 1990s, Qin Wenjun also explored the use of humor in depicting a modern teenage subjectivity in Schoolboy Jia Li (1993), which has since sold over a million copies. Speaking at an IBBY conference in 2006,[1] Qin Wenjun detailed what she perceived as the key qualities of children's literature and in doing so defined the context in which contemporary Chinese children's literature represents subjectivity. … Based on her understanding of the reality of Chinese children's lives, Qin has made an important contribution to defending and protecting the value of both "children" and "literature". … She thus goes further than rejecting the 1970s production of subjectivity through dogmatic education and her original path has placed the literature on a solid foundation."

— John Stephens (2012)[2]

While drawing on deep Chinese traditions, she has also laid new foundations for young readers.[3]
