Art beat (March 22-April 26)
Battle with life
Taiwan writer Giddens Ko, better known by his pen name "Nine Knives", is going to share how he expresses his motto "life is a non-stop battle" at a lecture in Guangzhou on March 26. Ko started a romance tornado with his autobiographical fiction-adapted movie You Are the Apple of My Eye in 2011, but has taken a new approach as a hot-blooded dream-seeker in his latest book Life is a Non-Stop Battle, which he describes as "fight literature" and is dedicated to young people suffering from the pain of "growing up".
7:30 pm-9:30 pm, March 26. Fangsuo Commune, TaiKoo Hui shopping mall, No 383, Tianhe Lu, Tianhe district, Guangzhou. 020-3868-2327.
Chou Huei's debut
