Han Han (Chinese: 韩寒; pinyin: Hán Hán; born September 23, 1982) is a Chinese writer, rally driver, singer and filmmaker. He rose to fame in 1999, during his first year of high school, when he won first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition with his essay Seeing Ourselves in a Cup (杯中窥人). After dropping out of school, he pursued parallel careers in writing and motorsport, gaining wide influence through his popular blog in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Regarded as a poster boy for China’s young and rebellious post-80s, he was named to the Time 100 list in 2010, though his image was later clouded by ghostwriting allegations raised by Fang Zhouzi in 2012.
