Biography
Bonnie Bo (birth name Shanshan Zhang) is a screenwriter and cultural critic who shaped major Chinese television adaptation. Born 1982 in Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, she trained in literature at Beijing Film Academy before entering publishing. Her 2005 essay collection *The Same As Bonnie Love You* marked her public debut. In 2008, she joined a writing team tasked with scripting the 2010 *Dream of Red Mansions* remake—the original aired in 1987—and reportedly wrote eight scenes as part of the "youthful dream team," which completed 50 episodes in three months.
