Xinran Xue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Xinran Xue is a British-Chinese journalist and broadcaster, born in Beijing (Peking) in 1958. Xue often uses her first name, Xinran, to identify herself as the author of work. In the late 1980s she began working for Chinese radio and went on to become one of China's most successful journalists. In 1997 she moved to London, where she began work on her seminal book about Chinese women's lives The Good Women of China and Sky Burial. She now has a regular column in The Guardian and many western media outlets. She is married to Toby Eady (whose mother is Mary Wesley) and has a son from a previous relationship.

In 2006 her book What the Chinese Don’t Eat was published. It is a collection of the letters she has answered about the similarities and differences between China and Britain.
