His short story The Monument has been included in the People’s Education Press textbook for fifth-grade elementary students. Li Benshen is deeply passionate about calligraphy; he seeks no fame or vanity, immerses himself in ink and brushwork with little social interaction, adores ink as if his life depended on it, and reveres every scrap of written paper. He calls himself the Eighteen Elder and the Master of Yunwai Cottage.
