In a recent blog post, well-known Chinese author and satirist Han Han adamantly denied accusations that some of his famous works were ghostwritten.

Han's reputation was blemished by a blogger named "Maitian" (an online alias translated as "wheat-land") on Sina.com.cn. The blogger disputed the originality of Han's works, accusing the post-80s author of hiring people to write for him.

According to Maitian, Han finished most of his writings at night while he racing his car in the daytime. Therefore, he questioned how a person could be so energetic and concluded that most of his writings were probably ghostwritten.

He hence presumed Han's first ghostwriter was his father Han Renjun, who he alleged might have been involved in the writer's first novel "Triple Door". Han also earned praise by influential publisher Lu Jinbo, which contributed to his success. Han responded furiously to the accusation on his blog on Jan. 16.

"As a writer, (the accusation) goes beyond my bottom line", Han wrote on his blog. "I wrote every word myself."

"Anybody who could show any evidence to prove the ghostwriting as they suspected, I would like to reward them with 20 million yuan (US$3.17 million), stop writing and give all my copyrights from the published books to the accusers."

Even though Han registered his outrage to the ghostwriting claim, he by no means forgot his characteristic sense of humor. He responded to the questioning of his ability to write at nights, especially in the days when he drove race cars. "Maybe you will pant heavily when raise a finger to press the button of elevator, but somebody might feel good even after a 10,000-meter marathon," Han wrote in his blog. "So I suggest the friend do more exercise, maybe just walking out of your dim, damp corner into the sunshine will do you good." He finished the sarcastic sentence by saying: "Maybe someday, you will be able to write until 1:00 AM, like me."

Han's blog post was published simultaneously with his father's. The senior Han asserted in his blog that his son's writing style was unique and hard to emulate. "There is no other person in China who can write the way Han Han writes, if there is, I'd like to take him as my son," the father said, "Farmers will immediately distinguish the grass from wheat when it peeps up from the soil."

The junior Han, who rose to fame with his talented submission to a new-concept writing competition for high-school students in Shanghai in 2000, is famous for his rebellious streak. He failed his college entrance exams and became a freelance writer and car racer afterwards. He has been involved in numerous verbal arguments with prominent cultural figures, such as the musician Gao Xiaosong.

素以调侃和不羁的黑色幽默闻名的中国名作家韩寒，最近在其博客上 对于针对他一些著作是枪手代写的指控予以了坚决的否认。

一位网名为“麦田”的新浪博主对韩寒的声誉进行了攻击。他质疑韩寒的作品并非原创，并指控这位80后作家雇人写作。

据麦田称，韩寒的作品大多在他参加赛车比赛后的当天夜晚完成。因此，他质疑道，一个人怎么会精力过剩至如此，并因此下结论道，他的很多作品都有可能是别人代写的。

该指控者推测韩寒父亲韩仁均可能是他的第一位枪手， 据麦田推测，他父亲可能参与了韩寒第一部小说《三重门》的写作。此外，麦田认为韩寒还受到过出版界达人路金波的肯定，这对作家的成功有了一定的帮助。韩寒于1月16日对此在博客上予以了猛烈的抨击。

“这（指责）已经触犯我作为写字人可以容忍的底线，”韩寒在他的博客中写道。“我的每一个字都是我亲手写下的。”

韩寒说凡是有人列举出有人代他写作的，他愿“奖励人民币两千万，本人也愿就此封笔，并赠送给举报人所有已出版的图书版权。”

然而即便在怒斥代写之诉时，韩寒也没有忘记幽默一下。他回应对其晚间，尤其是在赛车期间写作的质疑，说道：“也许你抬手摁电梯都喘，但有些人就是跑一万米也轻松，”韩寒在他的博客中写道。“愿这位朋友多锻炼身体，哪怕是只从阴暗潮湿的角落里走出来多晒晒太阳对身体也有好处。”他继而以这样一句话结束这段讽刺：“也许终有一天，你也能像我一样，写到半夜一点钟。”

在韩寒发表博客的同时，他的父亲也发表了一篇。韩仁均在博客中断言他儿子的写作风格独一无二，难以模仿。“韩寒的行文风格目前在中国找不出第二个，如果有，我愿认他作儿子！”韩父说道。“田里长的是麦是草，老农一看便知。”

韩寒成名于2000年在上海举办的高中生新概念作文大赛。后以叛逆闻名。在高考失利后他成为了独立的作家和赛车手。他曾与包括高晓松在内的众多文化名人间进行过口诛笔伐。
