Dan Wang writes one piece a year that is read by hundreds of thousands of people. That's it. Those annual letters turned him into one of the world's China experts, and led him to write a New York Times bestseller. He explains why he thinks more people should write less: "The tragedy of a lot of modern technologies is that it is really trying to make posts and thoughts as short as possible and as frequent as possible." "The apotheosis of this is Twitter, but I think the Substack model is really trying to encourage people to write a piece a week, a piece a month. And I was trying to bring down the average. I was trying to write one piece a year." "What I really want to do is to read a writer's most considered thoughts, the reflections, the well-crafted sentences, looking past the immediate headlines in order to deliver a product at the end of every year."
