About the author

Chen Yan is a Chinese writer whose works span a fairly wide range of subjects. Public information about him is limited, and no clear record of his life details is available. Judging from the eight works included in the database, his writing covers social fiction, prose and miscellaneous writings, and software-learning titles. In fiction, works such as The Story of Xijing, Renjian Guangsha, and Stars and a Half Tree focus on real life and social change. Among them, The Leading Role and Zhuang Tai were adapted into film and television productions starring Zhang Jiayi, Liu Haocun, Qin Hailu, and Yan Ni, which indicates that his stories carry a strong sense of everyday life and have had considerable reach. Comedy and The Back of a Genius show his attempts in other narrative directions. The coexistence of prose and miscellaneous writings with books on Photoshop rendering also reflects the diversity of his writing.
