China’s richest man Wang Jianlin says he plans to withdraw from frontline management in 2020 and will spend six to 12 months writing his own autobiography, state media reported.

The 60-year-old tycoon and chairman of Dalian Wanda - a property, cinema and entertainment company – said he would write the story of his life himself rather than employing a professional writer, China National Radio reported.

“My writing is also excellent. Therefore I don’t want others to write for me,” he was quoted as saying.
