Qiu Xiaolong
Qiu Xiaolong is an English language poet, crime novelist, critic, and academic, born in Shanghai, China, 1953 currently living in St. Louis, Missouri with his wife Wang Lijun and daughter Julia Qiu. He originally visited the United States in 1988 to write a book about T. S. Eliot, but following the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 a newspaper reported on his previous fundraising efforts for Chinese students, and he was forced to remain in America to avoid persecution by the Communist Party of China.
He has published several mystery novels, including Death of a Red Heroine, which won the Anthony Award for best first novel in 2001, and A Loyal Character Dancer. Both books featured Chief Inspector Chen Cao, a poetry-quoting cop with integrity.
