The first Master of Literary Writing in China, Fu Yuehui, has just graduated from Fudan University, Shanghai. Wang Anyi, one of the most influential writers in China, was Fu's supervisor.
Fu cites his own experience to disprove the longtime argument that "writers can never be trained". In 2007, Fu became the only student of Literary Writing at the Chinese Department of Fudan University, the first school to offer a master's degree in this field.
Fu says his supervisor never used textbooks in her class. Instead, Wang recommended books and asked Fu to write notes.
"She reads a wide range of books, and often recommends works by little-known authors," Fu says.
Fu now works as an editor for the literary magazines Harvest and Shanghai Literature.
