Li Dawei is a Chinese writer. He began writing poetry at age 17, and in 1985 graduated from Beijing Normal University with a degree in English.[1] Two years later, he made his first visit to the United States, to attend Creative Writers Program sponsored by U.S. Information agency.[citation needed] Since 1987, he has been publishing theoretical works about art and literature and in 1997, he published his first novel, Dream Collector, which is centred with a young musician and a talking cat that is later converted into a cartoon star. He won Select Short Stories Monthly prize in 1996 and, in 1997, was short-listed for Lu Xun Prize, China's arguably highest award for literature. He was given October Prize in 2000. He currently resides in Los Angeles. He is also a columnist for Caijing Magazine [1]
