Time:2018-11-26

From August 12 to September 2, the famous writer Wan Fang settled in "October Writer’ s Residence · Edinburgh" and quietly created a non-fictional literary work about her father Cao Yu, which was to be published by Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House. She became the second writer to settle in "October Writer’ s Residence · Edinburgh" after Xu Zechen.

In the meantime, Wan Fang went to the University of Edinburgh to participate in related cultural exchange activities, sharing her creative experience and focusing on the promotion of Wan Fang's drama series Winter Trip published by Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House, and holding in-depth discussions with local writers, translators, sinologists, and publishers on the issues of literary creation, translation, and publishing in China and Britain.

During the event, Lü Yalan, executive dean of the October Literature Institute, and Natasha, vice president of the University of Edinburgh and dean of the Confucius Institute in Scotland discussed the future cooperation plan between the two sides, the selection of writers in the future "October Writer’ s Residence", and the organization of cultural exchange activities. The two sides decided that during the period when the writers settled in the "October Writer’ s Residence" in 2018, they would fully participate in and integrate into the Edinburgh Art Festival and other top international cultural and artistic activities, using Edinburgh as a platform to reach neighbouring countries, and exchange with writers and readers from all over the world in order to expand the prestige and influence of the "October Writer's Residence" in the UK.
