Yan Lianke is a Chinese novelist and short story writer born in 1958, residing in Beijing. His writings are known for their satirical tone, which has led to some of his major works being banned by authorities. Lianke has acknowledged that he practiced self-censorship in his storytelling to avoid official scrutiny. He, along with fellow author Mo Yan, is recognized for the extensive use of metaphor and symbolism in their literature as a means to navigate censorship. Notable among his works is 'Dream of Ding Village,' published in 2006 and translated into English in 2011.
