"I believe that to clarify the history of how Han comes to fame will not only be essential to return the truth to history, to return right and wrong judgment to the literary circles, but also will get rid off the poisonous flow of anti-intellectualism that harms the Chinese culture in the 20th Century and gives youths the right guide," continues the article.
Under the background of anti-corruption, the investigation into Han will prove he is the biggest scandal of the literary circle, the article said.
The article sparked heated debate online immediately after publication and until Wednesday, the topic drew more than 4,900 comments on Sina Weibo. Some are against the article and some support it.
Wuyue Sanren, a well-known blogger, wrote on Sina Weibo, "Of course literary works and writers can be criticized, but should be in a different way from shouting abuse on a street." He said he felt a smell of the criticism style during Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) in the article.
Others said it's a good article. One commented, "Han should have been pulled down from the shrine long ago."
Han Han has not responded to the article yet. The head of the publication team for Han's film said Han has read the article. "We will not respond to it and there's no need to do that."
