Behind annual Chinese Writers Rich List (3)

(People's Daily Online)

14:43, December 13, 2012

Who is the richest Chinese writer in 2012?

It was also pointed out that the direct link between the economic interests of writers and the preferences of readers as well as the frequent interactions between writers and readers make the works of the Internet writers closer to readers on the one hand; but on the other hand, if the writer is not firm enough, he would be led by the nose by the preference of the readers and the works would lose personality. Besides, the choice of subject matter is unvaried. The representative works of the Internet writers on the list are either about fantasy or about Chrono-Cross. There is not a single piece of work concerning reality.

The pride in producing good works cannot be traded with fame or wealth

Founder of the Chinese "Writers Rich List" said, "The gap between rich and poor Chinese writers groups is shocking. The annual incomes of some writers are far above 10 million yuan while others work hard throughout a year only to earn less than 100,000 yuan. Still other writers have total deposit of less than 50 thousand yuan."

The Writer Rich List caused concerns about the state of survival of the writers. In the era of market economy, writers face a wide range of impact and temptations. The writer must make constant effort to exclude the interferences and get down creating quality works. As Mo Yan said, what is the power of writing? Neither fame nor wealth is principal, but the writer's enthusiasm towards his novel. The pride in spending one's whole life to compose a novel to one's own satisfaction cannot be traded with fame or wealth.

Only the production of good works truly reflects the writer's value.
