Rallying cry

A 33-year-old blogger has become a proud voice reflecting the dreams of a new generation of Chinese, attracting fans and critics along the way, Xing Yi reports.

Zhou Xiaoping, a 33-year-old blogger, became a hot figure after attending a recent forum on art and literature with other 70 well-established writers and artists, which was chaired by President Xi Jinping.

When talking about Internet literature during the forum, Xi specifically mentioned Zhou and another Web writer, Hua Qianfang. When shaking hands with them, Xi encouraged them to "continue to write works that carry positive energy".
