Biography


As a child he went with his father to live in Beijing.[3] He failed at the imperial examinations many times,[1] even though he had a reputation as a prodigy in his childhood,[2] and eventually wrote for the newspaper Shen Bao in Shanghai. In 1892, he started what can be considered China's first for-profit literary magazine, the Wonderbook of Shanghai (海上奇書; Haishang qishu), which lasted eight months,[3] and in which he published his novel Shanghai Hua in instalments.[1] The novel has been widely acclaimed as a classic (particularly by Lu Xun, Hu Shih, and Eileen Chang) but is little read today, likely due to its being written entirely in Wu Chinese, unintelligible to Mandarin speakers.[1]

It was translated into Mandarin and English by Eileen Chang. After Chang's death in 1995, the translation was discovered among her papers and published in English as The Sing-song Girls of Shanghai in 2005 after revision by Eva Hung.[1][3]

Not long after publication of the novel, in 1894, Han Bangqing died, age 38.
