About the author

Guo Kai is an author about whom limited public information is available. His works span finance, documentary literature and biography. In The Economic Stories of Wang Er, he uses the everyday experiences of a fictional character, Wang Er, to link together economic concepts, grounding abstract theory in concrete situations and developing a readable yet rigorous style that helps general readers understand how the economy works. Another book, Into Changning's Old Western-Style Houses, turns to urban documentary writing, focusing on historic buildings and neighborhood memory in an observational, record-keeping tone. He has also written Running, or Becoming Food: Jensen Huang's Survival Rules, which falls into the broad field of biography and discusses the survival strategies of a business figure. Judging from these three titles, Guo Kai moves easily between subjects, explaining financial knowledge through storytelling while also presenting cities and people in a documentary manner, with works that balance readability and information for a wide readership.
