Beacon over Lingnan | A conversation with Xie Youshun: Golden age of writing is right now In this episode, we sit down with Xie Youshun, Chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Writers' Association and winner of the 9th Lu Xun Literature Prize. At this year's awards, Guangdong received seven nominations and three wins — its best result ever.
