Han Shi, who is familiar with multiple identities such as publishing, calligraphy, speech and management, has been reluctant to speculate on himself. Perhaps it is because of this low-key and calm that a group of writers and scholars in contemporary literary circles agree that he is the most likely candidate to undertake the great cause of China's future literary revival. In 2009, Han Shi visited Cambodia as a representative of China's post-80s literary world, and was received by Nai Cai Wen, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia.
Compared with Han Han, Jing M.Guo, Haruki and other post-80s writers, Han Shi's sober thinking, simple and aura-filled language and feelings of worrying about the country and the people have made the best interpretation of his identity. Therefore, Han Shi is called "the last post-80s writer" by the industry.
