About the author
Wei Yi is an author whose publicly available information in Chinese book records remains limited; seven works by this author are currently confirmed. Representative titles include Becoming a Star: An Astronaut Trainee's Diary, Skin, Black and Silver, Specimen Issue, We in the Age of COVID, Tasmania, and 100. These works span foreign literature, social fiction, and essays and miscellaneous writings, showing considerable range: some unfold in the form of an astronaut trainee's diary, We in the Age of COVID engages closely with real social issues, and books such as Skin, Black and Silver, and Tasmania carry a literary atmosphere shaped by imagination. Because nationality, dates of birth and death, education, and personal experience cannot be verified, this profile makes no conjecture about the author's life and instead presents the writing as it appears in the works held: an attention to individual experience and social reality, a touch that moves between documentary and fiction, and, despite a modest number of titles, a clear interest in writing across different subjects.
