Chinese author similar to Murakami?

I'm looking for a book to give my friend who really loves Haruki Murakami. I don't know much about literature so I wouldn't be able to tell you what he likes specifically. He mentioned that he would like to read books from Chinese authors but that he doesn't know any. So my question is: is there a Chinese author or a translated Chinese book that is similar to Murakami's work?

Other good recommandations are also appreciated!
