Timeline
Jin Xuefei (born February 21, 1956) is a Chinese-American poet and novelist using the pen name Ha Jin.
Ha comes from his favorite city, Harbin.
His poetry is associated with the Misty Poetry movement.
Ha Jin was born in Liaoning, China.
His father was a military officer; at thirteen, Jin joined the People's Liberation Army during the Cultural Revolution.
Jin began to educate himself in Chinese literature and high school curriculum at sixteen.
He left the army when he was nineteen, as he entered Heilongjiang University and earned a bachelor's degree in English studies.
This was followed by a master's degree in Anglo-American literature at Shandong University.
Jin grew up in the chaos of early communist China.
He was on a scholarship at Brandeis University when the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre occurred.
The Chinese government's forcible crackdown hastened his decision to emigrate to the United States, and was the cause of his choice to write in English "to preserve the integrity of his work."
He eventually obtained a Ph.D. One of his mentors was literary critic Eugene Goodheart.
Jin sets many of his stories and novels in China, in the fictional Muji City.
His collection Under The Red Flag (1997) won the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, while Ocean of Words (1996) has been awarded the PEN/Hemingway Award.
He has won the National Book Award for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award for his novel, Waiting (1999).
He has received three Pushcart Prizes for fiction and a Kenyon Review Prize.
Many of his short stories have appeared in The Best American Short Stories anthologies.
The novel War Trash (2004), set during the Korean War, won a second PEN/Faulkner Award for Jin, thus ranking him with Philip Roth, John Edgar Wideman and E. L. Doctorow who are the only other authors to have won the prize more than once.
War Trash was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
Jin currently teaches at Boston University in Boston, Massachusetts.
He formerly taught at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Jin was a Mary Ellen von der Heyden Fellow for Fiction at the American Academy in Berlin, Germany, in the fall of 2008.
He was inducted to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2014.
