SINGAPORE – Singaporean author Fang Ran, who co-founded the long-running Chinese literature periodical Equatorial Wind in 1986, died last Saturday at the age of 80.
“He had been suffering for a while, but we all miss him. It is a testament to how much he loved his friends that we had so much support in the last few years whenever we needed help,” she said. Fang and Qian, who is its co-editor, single-handedly kept the periodical going from 1988 to 2018 after a creative difference between Fang and other founders led to the rest of the team leaving.
Fang always took the time to support his writing. One time, after Chan published a work following many years of inactivity, Fang immediately contacted him to welcome him back. “They gave it their all for literature. The periodical also helped to increase interactions among writers in Taiwan, China and Singapore.”
