Interview with author Huang Beijia
Huang Beijia 黄蓓佳 is a much-loved writer of children’s books. Her first novel for children, the modern classic, I Want To Be Good (《我要做好孩子》is the story of ten-year-old Ling in her last year at primary school, navigating the stress of the adults around her. It’s about the pressures of growing up, and about being happy being yourself. This funny, feel-good book has just been published in English, translated by Nicky Harman. We interviewed Nicky about translating this middle-grade novel last year (no. 97), and we’re delighted that Huang Beijia agreed to an interview with us too!

I WANT TO BE GOOD
Jin Ling, a sixth-grader, is a girl with mid-level academic achievement, but is also smart, kind, and honest. In order to be a “good kid” and live up to her parents’ and teachers’ expectations, she makes various efforts and “protests” against parents and teachers in an effort to keep her innocence and purity. In the end, she and her classmates walk confidently into the entrance examination room.
