Beacon over Lingnan | A conversation with Xie Youshun: Golden age of writing is right now

In this episode, we sit down with Xie Youshun, Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Writers' Association and winner of the 9th Lu Xun Literature Prize. At this year's awards, Guangdong received seven nominations and three wins — its best result ever. The fertile soil of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, he believes, has nurtured Guangdong's literary strengths. From the "GBA experience" to amateur writing, from the golden age of creation to a people-centered approach, he examines Guangdong and Chinese literature with a broad, forward-looking vision.
