“I still wanted to prove that I was the best of all the second-rate writers. I refused all further requests to write journalism and started to concentrate solely on my novel. Since then, I have not written a single word.”
Koonchung Chan, The Fat Years

“In a moderately well-off society, the people fear chaos more than they fear dictatorship.”
Koonchung Chan, The Fat Years

“I discovered that the nationalistic “angry youth” on the Internet are actually not all youths. Some of them are in their fifties and sixties. They grew up during the Cultural Revolution and heeded Old Mao’s call for young people to engage with important national affairs. None of them went to college. They work at the most menial jobs in society and haven’t had the benefits of the Reform and Opening policies. Now they are laid-off or retired and they have learned how to go on the Internet, where they can find like-minded people and a place to vent their anger and dissatisfaction”
Koonchung Chan, The Fat Years
