Wei Wei (Chinese: 魏巍; pinyin: Wèi Wéi; March 6, 1920 – August 24, 2008), originally known as Hong Jie (simplified Chinese: 鸿杰; traditional Chinese: 鴻傑; pinyin: Hóng Jié), was a Chinese poet, a prose writer, a literary report writer, a journalist, a vice-editor-in-chief and the editor of various newspapers in China.
His works are noted for their themes of patriotism, communism, and nationalism.
He showed early interest in calligraphy and literature, but was unable to receive much education after elementary school, when both of his parents died.
He was largely self-taught and was greatly influenced by the radical Chinese literature of the 1920s and 30s, including works by authors like Lu Xun and Mao Dun.
He also became known for composing a series of Communist-themed novels, short stories, and operas.
