Edit Profile老鬼
also known as
Old Ghost
Education
After graduating from Beijing University with a degree in journalism, he wrote and published the book Blood Red Sunset in 1988 which sold over 400,000 copies in China.
Career
Subsequently as a result of his participation in Tiananmen Square, Bo Ma fled the country, first to France, and then ultimately to the US, where he settled as a resident scholar in Brown University's Literary Arts program. In 1995, the English translation of Blood Red Sunset (Penguin, 1995) was published with Howard Goldblatt as translator.
In 1995, Ma Bo's mother, Yang Mo, a prominent writer herself, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Consequently, upon special permission from the Chinese government, Ma Bo returned to China to visit his mother in the hospital. He has remained in China since then.
