His novel "The Code Remains Unchanged" won third prize at the Fifth National Outstanding Works Competition of "Storyteller" in 1990; "Difficult to Marry" was awarded the China Best New Story Prize in 1991; and "Sometimes Foolish" earned first prize at the Seventh National Outstanding Works in 1992.

Regarding his personal life, in April 2009, at the suggestion of his son Han Han, Han Rinjun started opening a shop on Taobao to sell signed copies of Han Han’s books, making it easier for readers to obtain autographed editions. Due to Han Han’s high popularity, the shop received a large number of orders on its first day, leading to temporary operational difficulties. Han Rinjun emphasized that he does not intend to expand or grow the shop and that all activities are subject to Han Han’s wishes.
