Name order?

The lady is known as Xinran on her books. I think (though it would be nice if someone could confirm) that this is her personal name and Xue is her family name, which means she's reversed the normal Chinese order. If this is right, then it merits an extra paragraph. For now, I've changed the text to make it neutral. --GwydionM (talk) 07:30, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, GwydionM, based on the article at the Deutsch-Chinesisches Kulturnetz (German) (Chinese version), I think you're right. --ChristopheS (talk) 17:27, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needs references

I tagged it as not having any references, then converted an inline ext link to reference, but that still isn't really a reference for the article so I left the no references tag. Basically, everything in this BLP article is still lacking references. RJFJR (talk) 16:02, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Xue Xinran → Xinran – Per WP:COMMONNAME, all her books are under the name "Xinran", see [1]. "Xinran" also solves the naming order problem of Xue Xinran (Chinese order) vs Xinran Xue (British order).
