Top cultural events of 2013

2. 2013 China's 60 Richest Writers List released

The controversial Chinese Writers Rich List has become an indicator of the publishing and reading trends in the country.

The list, revealed on December 5 by publishing observer Wu Huaiyao and the Western China Metropolis Daily in Chengdu, Sichuan province, shows that writers of online literature, children's books and serious literature as well as celebrity writers earn the most, in terms of royalty income, in 2013.

This is the 8th year the list has been released, leading the previous unpopular author group and local literature finally going under spotlight. Wu Huaiyao, creator of the list, said he hopes to attract everyone to read and make authors superstars.

With increasing recognition of the list, Wu's dream has come true – famous scholar Yi Zhongtian and Wu Sisheng have shown their support publicly, popular stars such as Chen Kun and Jiang Wenli attended a ceremony, and popular authors including Zheng Yuanjie and Jiang Nan came together for the list.
