About the author

Yan Yan is an author about whom little public information is currently available. Her works span two categories, social fiction and fashion, with two titles held in the collection. Judging from the title Lost and Found and its classification as social fiction, the author attends to the connections between people in everyday urban life, building narratives around concrete places and objects and grounding her stories in the experiences of ordinary people. Love Index Boost: Good-Impression Date Makeup, by contrast, turns to fashion and beauty, using dating scenarios as an entry point to offer practical guidance on makeup and personal presentation. One is fictional narrative and the other a lifestyle guide; the subjects differ markedly, yet both revolve around contemporary people's emotions and self-presentation, suggesting that the author is equally at home in storytelling and in practical writing close to daily life. As information on birth and death dates, nationality, and education is unavailable, her biographical outline awaits further material.
