HUO Da (霍达)
Occupation Writer
Nationality People's Republic of China

Huo Da is a Hui Chinese writer.[1] Her most famous novel, and the only one to be translated into English, was the 1988 Muslim Funeral, which chronicled the history of three generations of a family of Muslim jade carvers in Beijing; it provoked controversy for its positive attitude towards market entrepreneurialism and its suggestion that the Han in Beijing negatively stereotype the Hui for their poverty and lack of education, while they do not have the same attitude towards the Manchu.[2]
