Guan Renshan, a native of Fengnan County, Tangshan City, is a tall man with the boldness of a Zhao Yan man. He speaks quickly and has a vivid expression. When he laughed, his eyes were bent and he kept laughing. He is very popular and has made many good friends everywhere. At the seminar on "The White Gate" held by Literary and Art Newspaper, the writer Jiang Zilong said that "The White Gate" is a shocking novel, a powerful and vivid novel.
The novel shows the fission and pain of people living by the sea facing the impact of market economy, and shows the collision and friction between traditional culture and contemporary life. Experts attending the meeting believed that the novel successfully grafted the folk culture with a long history into the tree of real life stories, and boldly combined the magical color with the realistic description, which marked that Guan Renshan had reached a new level on the road of artistic innovation.
Guan Renshan's impression began when he talked songs with Xiao Shenyang, and he was called the "Troika" in Hebei literary world. When contemporary rural works are increasingly scarce, he insists on his writing ideal. He said: "Farmers can ignore literature, but literature can never care about their fate."
His novel Heaven and Earth Club, which is based on rural themes, won the China Book Award, the National Excellent Creation Award for Ethnic Minorities, and the Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award, and his short stories also won many awards. So far, his works have reached more than 7 million words, and some of them have been translated into English, French and Japanese.
