CD: Some people overseas call you "dissident lite". Do you agree?

HH: Ha, maybe because I do not weigh much physically. "Dissident" is a dangerous word here. I'm different from a dissident because I accept the current constitution. I accept the power of the powers-that-be but I want to have my rights. I do not want a new charter or new constitution.

CD: If you could not speak the truth, would you choose to be silent or use insinuations?

HH: You can tell a little lie with women. Other than that, I'd rather be silent than tell lies.

CD: Do you have a fear of heights?

HH: Very much.

CD: You use black humor liberally in your writings. Is it a style you love or you use it out of necessity?

HH: It is the best style that fits me because I am afraid readers might lose interest.

CD: Your novels seem to imply Buddhist thinking, such as karma, but "it's only for the common people". Is it your thinking, or something inside your character's head?

HH: I imposed it on my characters. Karma is the common people's last defense and their last psychological comfort. But as I have observed, it is not common that the good get rewards and the bad their comeuppance.

CD: Which literary genre involves more effort, fiction or essays? What about response from readers?

HH: I give more to fiction, but readers prefer my essays because the expressions are more straightforward.
