Yu Hua (simplified Chinese: 余华; traditional Chinese: 余華; pinyin: Yú Huá; born April 3, 1960) is a Chinese author, widely considered the foremost writer of avant-garde fiction and one of the greatest living authors in China.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Shortly after his debut as a fiction writer in 1983, his first breakthrough came in 1987, when he released the short story "On the Road at Age Eighteen".^[5] Yu Hua was regarded as a promising avant-garde or post-New Wave writer.^[5] Many critics also regard him as a champion for Chinese meta-fictional or postmodernist writing. His novels To Live (1993) and Chronicle of a Blood Merchant (1995) were widely acclaimed.^[6] While other works like Brothers (2005–06) received mixed reviews domestically, but positive reviews abroad.^[7]

Yu Hua has written five novels, six collections of stories, and three collections of essays. His works have sold around a total of nine million copies^[8] and have been translated into over 20 languages.^[9]
