| 09:45 | 10:30 | PUBLISHING’S FUTURE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY – RELEVATIONS FROM A DECADE OF ONLINE LITERATURE DEVELOPMENT OPENING KEYNOTE China's online literature had a pilot launch in 2005. By 2015, millions of authors realized their creative dream, thanks to online literature in China, which attracted more than 200 million readers, and created a group of wealthy authors. Driven by information technology, the impetus to literary creativity was released and literature itself changed, as a result. Online literature is of the market; it is inclusive but also subversive. Large volumes of great works emerged in the form of online literature; there is Nirvana in Fire（《琅琊榜》） and there is Blossoms（《繁 花》）.
