Reminders: (1) In China only well-established or recognized writers qualify for membership to the Writers’ Association of China. It is relatively easier to join the provincial writers’ associations and those at the county/city-level. (2) Regarding publications, prizes and awards, many of the authors had too many to count or they thought it was not meaningful to count them, and therefore they simply rounded them down to an easier number, for example, from twenty-something to twenty, or 200-something to 200. (3) Some writers did not reveal their birthdays. A few did not respond to the translator’s call for submission of up-to-date biographical information, and thus only their names and places of residence may have been provided, which, however, must not be taken as complete information of their publications and awards. (4) If given, titles of publications and literary organizations usually appear in pinyin followed the original Chinese characters, but in some cases where misunderstanding seems unlikely, an English translation may take place of the Chinese characters, or otherwise both characters and translation may appear at the same time. The translator did not insist on consistency mostly due to the ambiguity of the source text that may be interpreted in more than one way, which would require more space that is not available. (5) Also due to shortage of space, most of the titles of publications and names of prizes and awards, etc., have been omitted, in which case only summary information is provided. Also, some unspecified awards, directly translated from the Chinese character jiang (奖), may include prizes as well, which is up to the reader to interpret.
