Luo Guanzhong
A quiet man who turned old battles into the story China loves best.
About
Luo Guanzhong is one of the great names in Chinese literature, yet we know surprisingly little about him. He was probably born around 1330 and died around 1400, during the last years of the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty and the rise of the Ming. He is credited with The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a sweeping historical novel that turns roughly a century of war and shifting loyalty into a story ordinary people could love.
