Tin Hong’s books are well received by the teenage audience. His books are mostly of fantasy and romance, usually touching upon historical issues and exploring injustice in the society. Greatly influenced by Yu Hua‘s To Live, Tin Hong’s books reflect on the connections between individuals and history.
