It was a humbling experience to be in Dr. Liang Wern Fook’s classroom, as he is a prolific writer in the Chinese short/mini fiction genre. The three sessions, spanning 1.5 hours each, were spent learning techniques of writing Chinese mini fiction and critiquing classmates’ work. It was also a treat to be learning with other aspiring and experienced writers. Between Dr. Liang and our classmates’ critiques and suggestions of various mini fiction samples, I have a better understanding of the genre. The only criticism for the course is that it was too short!
