Book lovers in a group photo with the four Asian women writers in Beijing last month, after attending their dialogue, organized by the Beijing October Arts and Literature Publishing House. One of the most popular literary activities last month was a dialogue between four Asian women writers — Gong Ji-yeong from South Korea, Li Zishu from Malaysia, and Qiao Ye and Liao Jing from China. Qiao, who won China's top literary award in 2023, the Mao Dun Literary Prize, for her novel Bao Shui, says that she started writing and publishing essays when she was a teacher in a small village in Henan province. Recalling taking part in a national essay competition as a child and later gaining recognition in a university poetry contest, Gong, 61, says that her interest in words was strong at a young age.
