Shi Tiesheng, born in 1951 in Beijing, was left paralyzed from an illness at the age of 21. A recurrence of a viral infection in 1998 damaged his kidneys, necessitating dialysis three times a week and daily physical therapy. His first story was published in 1979, and since that time, despite his poor health, he has continued writing. His “Temple of Earth and I” is considered by many to be the best essay published in China in fifty years and is now included in a high school Chinese language textbook. Shi has won numerous awards for his writing, and has also written screenplays. In addition, director Chen Kaige based a film on one of his stories. Shi is known primarily for his essays.
