【推荐3】Many Chinese web novels are interesting and imaginative. But have you ever thought that they could help people stop using drugs (毒品)?

Kevin Cazad, a 29-year-old IT technician from California, US, gave up his drug habit after reading translations of Chinese web novels, reported by People’s Daily in March.

He turned to drugs to reduce the pain of a breakup in 2014. But the drugs caused him physical and mental pain, even threatening his life at times. However, after starting to read the Chinese web novel Coiling Dragon (《盘龙》), Cazad became crazy with his new hobby, making him “forget” about doing drugs.

“I went home wanting to take drugs every day,” Cazad said, “Now, I prefer to read the novels. They are addictive (上瘾的) like drugs, but not harmful to my health.”

Cazad is not the only foreigner to become a big fan of online Chinese literature. In fact, Chinese web novels have recently been gaining popularity among foreign readers.

According to a 2016 report from Novel Updates, a website that translates popular Asian novels for Western readers, among the Top 10 most popular web novels, five were written by Chinese writers.

Foreign readers are attracted by the Chinese culture and history in the novels. “As a Westerner, the traditional Chinese elements (元素) and strong plots (情节) really attract me. Outside of the Harry Potter series, I can’t think of any other books with so much imagination,” Fernando Hernandez, a Spanish engineer said.

Though Chinese web novels are popular among foreign readers, some people believe they have no deep meaning, compared with traditional works.

“Some online novelists give up quality for speed updates (更新). Low-quality writing with repetitive (重复的) structure and rude language will not survive long,” Han Haoyue, writer and cultural critic, told Xinhua News Agency.

They also face problems with plagiarism (剽窃). For example, Eternal love (《三生三世十里桃花》), a popular Chinese web novel translated into English, has been accused of (被指控) plagiarism.

However, many people still think highly of them. “Chinese online literature has a cultural charm (魅力) and is easily acceptable to young foreign readers. It is a good channel to improve Chinese culture,” Wu Wenhui, CEO of China Reading, told Xinhua.
