Fans of the late Chinese actor Fu Biao will soon be able to purchase his autobiography when it is available later this month.

 

 

Called imprint, a name created by Fu Biao's widow Zhang Qiufang, it represents the general content and overall style of the book. After combing over several candidates, publishers are satisfied with the final name.

 

Ge You, a famous comedian and Fu's good friend, is responsible for the preface of the book. He wrote that if Fu's cancer had had been discovered three months earlier, he could have lived for five years more. However, Fu was so busy with his work that he didn't have time to go to the hospital and have exams.

 

Articles written by some other actors and actresses appear in Fu's imprint, including Xu Fan, director Zhang Yimou, singer Han Hong and so on. Fu Biao's son and sister joined the book, too.

 

 

Publisher Beijing Books Center is distributing imprint. An official with the company reveals that that besides its commercial publication, Fu's biography is aimed at inspiring concerns and thoughts from society.
