MianMian File

Mian Mian:

Born in 1970, in Shanghai, China. Mian Mian began writing at the age of sixteen. In 1987, She left school without finishing her secondary education; and in 1989, went alone to a small city in southern China. Mian Mian then spent five years there, however she never talks about that period of her life to anyone. Mian Mian returned to Shanghai in 1994.

There she entered a drug rehabilitation center for the last time, and again took up writing after her discharge from the center. In 1996 Mian Mian acted as a DJ at Shanghai's Cotton Club, and in the following year, she began to publish some of her short stories and novelettes in Xiao Shuo Jie and several other widely distributed Chinese literary magazines. Mian Mian's life experiences gave form to many of her works' central characters: singers, drug addicts, prostitutes, homosexuals, lunatics, hoodlums, young degenerates, and self-proclaimed artists. She became the first Chinese writer to ever describe drugs and drug related life. Her characteristic flavor of "cruel youth" and her serious attitude towards self-reflection quickly attracted a large following of young readers. In July 1997, with help from the New Century Publishing House in Hongkong, Mian Mian published her first collection of short stories titled La La La.

In January 2000, the ZHONGGUO XI JU Publishing House and the authoritative literary magazine Shou Huo simultaneously published Tang( Candy), her first novel in Mainland China. The novel sent a strong ripple through the country's literary world and quickly became a best seller, with a large number of unauthorized copies produced through out the country. This was quickly followed by her collection of short stories titled Every Good Kid Deserve Candy by Huashan Publishers and ACID LOVER by Shanghai Sanlian Publishing House. In April 2000, the government officially banned her book CANDY followed by the banning of all of her books. However by this time hundreds of thousands of pirated copies have already been circulated through small private bookstores and street vendors. Mian Mian's La La La was translated into German and Italian, her CANDY was translated into English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Greek, and Portuguese. Starting in 1997, Mian Mian has been pushing electronic music into the clubs of various Chinese cities. She has planned numerous large-scale dance parties, some of which invited internationally renowned DJs to perform. In the process Mian Mian has established herself as the only female dance party organizer in China, naturally she has a large party following through out the country.

In 2001 Mian Mian began to involve herself with filmmaking. In her first such work Shanghai Panic, she filled the roles of screenwriter, actor, and co-producer. Mian Mian plans to continue her cooperation with director Andrew Chen (Chen Yu Su) to incorporate all of her written works into various film projects. She is also planning a movie of her own, with herself acting as the director.
