| dbo:abstract | Xue Yiwei (Chinese: 薛忆沩, born in 1964) is a Chinese author. His hometown is Changsha, Hunan, and his birthplace was Chenzhou in the same province. He attended the Beijing University of Aeronautics (now Beihang University) in a computer science program, gaining a BsC. Next he attended the Université de Montréal, taking a program in English literature, attaining a master of arts. Finally he attended the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies in a doctoral program in linguistics and received his degree. In 2002, he relocated to Canada, due to his disenchantment with the materialism-focused direction of literature in his home country. In February of that year he occupied an apartment in proximity to the St. Joseph Oratory, in Côte-des-Neiges. In 2016 he was still in the same apartment. In 2016 CBC Radio described him as having a high level of popularity in China, known to "millions of people". Ha Jin stated that Xue is a "maverick". Shenzheners was his first work translated into English. Previously he was not known among Anglophone audiences, and he lived in Montreal in relative obscurity. (en) |
