He was born in Tian'e County in Guangxi.[1] Dong Xi is a writer of novels, short stories, and screenplays.

He splits his time between a post at the Guangxi University for Nationalities and Beijing.
Early life and first publications
Dong Xi was born in Guli in northwest Guangxi. His family suffered during the Cultural Revolution due to their formerly privileged status. Following the beginning of Reform and Opening, Dong Xi was able to join the Chinese department of Hechi Normal College[3] (now known as Hechi University), a small college in northwestern Guangxi on the southern end of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It was at school that Dong Xi began submitting work to literary journals and magazines, including Tibet Literature, West China Literature, and Guangxi Literature. In the fall of 1992, Dong Xi broke into major literary magazines, publishing short fiction and two novellas in Harvest, Flower City and Chinese Writer.
Success as a writer and adapting work for the screen
Dong Xi's short fiction and novellas are often grouped together with other work from writers that emerged in urban China in the 1980s.[4] He eventually moved to Beijing and began working with screenwriters, as well as adapting his own work for TV and film. His most notable adaptation for film is the 2002 film, Sky Lovers, based on his novel, Life Without Language (the same novella was adapted for a 20-episode TV series by Guangxi Mandile Film and Culture Co. Ltd.). The adaptation won a Best Artistic Contribution[5] at the 15th Tokyo International Film Festival. My Sister's Dictionary (2005) was adapted from Dong Xi's A Resounding Slap in the Face (1998).
