My Take

Han Han strikes me as a restless polymath of the best kind. He broke out as a teenager by winning a writing competition, turned that into the runaway bestseller Triple Door, and then refused to stay in any single lane. He races cars competitively, sings, produces records, and directs films, and what impresses me is that none of it feels like a vanity hobby. Emerging from Shanghai, he became a sharp voice for a generation of young Chinese readers. I respect creative breadth most when it's backed by real conviction, and he seems to have plenty of both.

Overview

Han Han (Chinese: 韩寒; pinyin: Hán Hán; born September 23, 1982) is a Chinese writer, rally driver, singer and filmmaker. He rose to fame in 1999, during his first year of high school, when he won first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition with his essay Seeing Ourselves in a Cup (杯中窥人).
