Mian Mian (born 28 August 1970 in Shanghai) is a Chinese Post 70s Generation novelist. She writes on China's once-taboo topics, and she is a promoter of Shanghai's local music. Her publications have earned her the reputation as China's literary wild child.
Her first novel, Candy (Chinese: 糖), has been translated into English. Her other works include Every good child deserves to eat candy (Chinese: 每个好孩子都有糖吃), a collection of short stories. Her novel We Are Panic was made into a movie, Shanghai Panic (2001), in which she also acted one of the lead roles.[1]
