High-Tech Primary School No 2 in the city of Xi’an, Shaanxi province, gave its pupils a chance to speak with a famous children’s writer, Mei Zihan, who came to visit with the children and talk about reading and writing, on Nov 5.

Mei started out by saying that he had been interested in reading and writing since childhood and would try to write down the interesting things he encountered in life, and then gradually found himself becoming a writer. The children responded immediately and posed various questions that he answered one by one. He even brought some books that he had signed for the children.

Mei is the third writer that the school has asked to pay a visit, after Cao Wenxuan and Shen Shixi, so it can stimulate the children’s interest in reading and writing. It plans to invite more to interact with them.

Mei Zihan, from Anhui province, is a member of China Writer Association who has written dozens of books for children, such as Daughter’s Story and Dai Xiaoqiao and His Buddies.
