Cong Weixi (Chinese: 从维熙; 7 April 1933 – 29 October 2019), who also used the pen names Bi Zheng (碧征) and Cong Ying (从缨),[1] was a Chinese novelist. Condemned as a "rightist" during the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957, he spent 20 years in the laogai ("reform through labor") camps. Following his release in 1978, he published China's first novel on laogai and founded the "High Wall Literature" genre that depicts the traumas suffered by political prisoners in the labor camps. Highly influential in the post-Cultural Revolution literary scene, his works have been translated into many languages.
