Li Jie (Шаблон:Zh), more commonly known by her pen name Anni Baobei or Annie Baby (Шаблон:Zh), is a Chinese novelist, born 11 July 1974 in Ningbo, Zhejiang.[1] She is nicknamed "Flower in the Dark" by her readers due to her novels' themes of loneliness and isolation.[2]
Li currently lives in Beijing.[3]
Writing career
In her early twenties, Li worked at a bank in Ningbo, but her distaste for the job led her to begin her career as an online writer in 1998. In 2000, she began writing for the website Rongshuxia, which was one of China's first literary forums.[4] In that same year, she published Goodbye, Vivian, a collection of short stories; this was her first print publication, and would sell half a million copies.[5][6][3]
Li has also worked as an editor of the literary journal Open and as a translator of children's books.[5] Her work appears in Chinese magazines Harvest, Writers and Elle.[3]
