Gu Hua (June 20, 1942)〔"Hua, Gu." ''The Writers Directory 2010''. Ed. Lisa Kumar. 25th ed. Vol. 1. Detroit: St. James Press, 2009. 1082. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Retrieved 17 Oct. 2012.〕 (), is a Chinese novelist born in the People's Republic of China.〔 His birth name was Luo Hongyu ().His writings concern rural life in the mountainous area of southern Hunan of which he was familiar.〔"Gu Hua 1942–." ''Encyclopedia of Modern China''. Ed. David Pong. Vol. 2. Detroit: Charles Scribner's Sons, 2009. 150-151. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Retrieved 17 Oct. 2012.〕 In 1988 he emigrated to Canada.〔 Hua is best known for his 1981 novel ''Furong zhen'' (''A Small Town Called Hibiscus'') which won the inaugural Mao Dun Literature Prize (1982), one of most prestigious literature prizes in China.〔Guang, Yang (2011, Sep 21). "The best is yet to come, says writer Mo Yan." ''McClatchy - Tribune Business News''.〕〔Zhu, Yuan. ''China Daily'' (York, N.Y ) 21 Nov 2000: 9. Retrieved October 17, 2012〕 It was the third top-selling novel to ever win that prize, selling over 850,000 copies.〔 The novel was a rebuke of the Cultural Revolution. The novel was famously adapted to film in 1986 as ''Hibiscus Town'', winning many awards including 'Best Film' of the 1987 Golden Rooster Awards, China's equivalent of the Academy Awards. In 1986, ''The New York Times'' reported that Hua has "risen to prominence in the last three years among some younger writers who seek to rediscover, if not necessarily to affirm, China's traditional life and values.〔 In China he has been called the Shen Congwen of the 80's〔("Contemporary Chinese Literature in Translation--A Review Article" ), by Leo Ou-fan Lee, ''The Journal of Asian Studies'', Vol. 44, No. 3 (May, 1985), pp. 561-567.〕 and even, amazingly, the () Hardy of Hunan," although the ''Times'' author Perry Link (professor of Chinese at the University of California) disagreed that Hua is comparable to those talents. Hua's novel ''Virgin Widows'' (''Chen Neu'') deals with outmoded views of chastity and adultery.〔Sorensen, Simon. "Virgin Windows." ''World Literature Today'' 72.1 (1998): 203.
