IV. Guo Jingming, born in Sichuan Province on June 6, 1983, is a famous Chinese writer. His books are very popular among young people in China. He has published many books so far. These books are very touching. I often cry while I am reading his books. His first book is called Ｔｈｅ Ｃｉｔｙ ｏｆ Ｆａｎｔａｓｉｅｓ. Lots of students are also touched by another of his works — Ｎｅｖｅｒ Ｆｌｏｗｅｒｓ ｉｎ Ｎｅｖｅｒ Ｄｒｅａｍｓ. In 2005, he wrote a musical novel Ｍｉｃａｎｇ, and he first showed his voice in the novel. Although he is about 1.60 meters tall, he looks very cool. I think most of the students know him. Also he is the editor of the novel Ｉ５ ＬＡＮＤ.
