Online lit helps spread China's culture through beauty of written word
As Chinese online literature gains increasing popularity worldwide, web novels have become a window for overseas audiences to know about China and learn about the nation's culture.
Among the 6,000 translated works on WebNovel by last November, nine titles have garnered over 100 million views, including Library of Heaven's Path, a Chinese fantasy web novel written by Yang Hanliang under the pen name of Heng Sao Tian Ya.
The 41-year-old writer is one of the bestselling creators on Yuewen Group's platforms, both domestically and internationally. Telling an incredible story about the ties between teachers and students with a focus on the Chinese tradition of respect for educators, Library of Heaven's Path has long been standing at the top of the charts on online literature platforms in many countries, and has been translated into more than 10 languages so far.
