The world of Chinese literature is one that is familiar to us all. But have you ever stopped to wonder what works are read outside of China and how they are received Today, four Sinologists and translators share their experience of Chinese literature with us. They are:
Petko, aged 43 from Bulgaria
Annelous, aged 34 from the Netherlands
Joachim, aged 25 from France
Mai, aged 28 from Egypt

READING CHINA
Read the passage and write the questions on the lines.
Q1: __________________________________________
Petko: It all started with a movie I watched when I was a boy – The Shaolin Temple. That movie gave me so many reasons to fall in love with China. I was amazed by Chinese kung fu, of course – everyone loves kung fu, don’t they I also thought the Chinese language sounded so beautiful, and I found that I liked Chinese music, too – I just loved the movie’s theme tune, Song of the Shepherd.
Annelous: I became interested in languages at a young age. When I started high school, I began reading books about Chinese history and culture, and this inspired me to choose Chinese Studies as my academic major at university.
02
How did you get interested in Chinese literature
Read the passage and write the questions on the lines.
Joachim: When I was 15 years old, my mother bought me a copy of the classic Shi Ji, or Records of the Grand Historian. Prior to that, the only great historical works I had been exposed to were Homer’s epic poems. Records of the Grand Historian was my first encounter with Chinese classical literature. After reading it, I realised the true genius of China’s “Grand Historian”, Sima Qian. His writing had a profound effect on me, and I have this to thank for my passion for Chinese literature.
Mai: I gradually fell in love with Chinese literature when I started working as a translator. Most of the translated works of literature in Egypt are from the English-speaking world, so reading Chinese literature was a stimulating and inspiring experience.
02
Read the passage and write the questions on the lines.
Q2: _________________________________________
Petko: I particularly like classical Chinese literature, especially works from the Ming and Qing dynasties. I fell in love with Dream of the Red Chamber the first time I read it, and was determined to translate it into Bulgarian. Now that this dream has come true, my next goal is to translate The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Annelous: In the Netherlands, the decision as to which works of Chinese literature get translated is largely influenced by the opinions of respected Sinologists. In addition, publishing houses tend to look to other countries to see which Chinese works have sold well there. I’ve so far translated the writings of several young Chinese authors, and I’m looking forward to their new works.
02
How do you select works to translate
Read the passage and write the questions on the lines.
Joachim: I just go with what I like and what I am interested in. I’ve translated some poems by Dai Wangshu. Right now, I’m doing research into popular literature in Shanghai at the start of the 20th century.
Mai: I don’t care if a writer is popular or not. What interests me most is the work itself. I’ve translated some works by authors such as Xi Murong and Bi Shumin. I also keep a close eye on what’s being self-published online by new, young authors – they have some good ideas.
02
Read the passage and write the questions on the lines.
Q3: ____________________________________________________
Petko: Thirty-six Stratagems has sold more than 1,000 copies in Bulgaria. When you consider that here the best a writer can usually hope for is to sell a few hundred copies of their work, Thirty-six Stratagems is a best-seller in Bulgaria!
Annelous: Each year sees more works by Chinese writers published in the Netherlands, and they are well-received. The people that buy and read these books do so because they want to learn more about Chinese culture and everyday life in China. On the whole, I do have to admit that here, people’s knowledge of Chinese literature is rather limited.
02
Which works by Chinese writers are popular in your country
Read the passage and write the questions on the lines.
Joachim: Many works by modern writers such as Lu Xun and Shen Congwen have been translated into French. And the novels of some contemporary writers also sell quite well in France. Literature has a lot of significance to the French, and Chinese literary works tend to be highly thought of.
Mai: Egyptians like literature that reflects human nature and experience. A couple of good examples of this are “Fond Memories of Autumn” by Shi Tiesheng and “Street Scene” by Zhou Guoping. I think Egypt and China are closely connected and both have a lot in common. Because of this, Chinese literary works really strike a chord in the hearts of Egyptian readers.

Studying Chinese language was what first got me interested in its culture. If only there was greater awareness of Chinese language and literature in my country.
I feel that my culture has a lot in common with Chinese culture. I care more about what writers have to say than who they are.
I wish that people could learn to love Chinese culture as much as I do, especially stories from classical literature.
It’s important to read what interests you, not just what is recommended by other people. The same goes for the literature that I translate.

Think & Share
Talk with your partner.
When faced with answering one big question, start by breaking it down into a series of smaller questions. Then consider how many of these questions you can answer and what evidence you can give to support these answers. Finally identify what you still need to find out and how you will go about this.
Learning to learn
Work in groups. Discuss how to promote Chinese literature throughout the world.

1. Break the topic into smaller questions. Consider the following:
What types of literary works do you think should be promoted
(e.g. fiction, drama, poetry) Why
By what different methods could this be done
(e.g. translation, advertising, film adaptation)
2. Do research to find more information to support your ideas.
3. Present your ideas to the class.
Now think about what effective measures you have taken to give an answer to a big question.

What do you know about New York
Read the email and answer the questions.

Dear Jiang,
Great to hear you’re coming to the US! I hope I can convince you to stop by and visit us in New York. There’re so many things to see and do here in the Big Apple. It would take a lifetime to list them all! But knowing you as I do, I’d suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US and just can’t be missed!
Broadway district with its cafés, street performers and enormous and colorful signs really captures New York’s loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theater industry, it’s at night when it truly comes alive. Broadway is famous for its big theaters, showing Shakespeare, modern drama, dance shows or musicals – take your pick! With your love of singing and interest in amateur dramatics, I’d recommend a musical. It’s a moving and intense experience that I’m sure you would love – a bit like Peking Opera! Quite a few musicals are based on classic stories like Les Misérables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire you to read the books, too!
My big news is that we’re all thinking about doing a big trip in China in the winter vacation. We’re looking for a combination of fun and traditional culture. Can you recommend a place of cultural highlights
See you soon! (Fist bump!!)

Dear Selena,
Thank you for all your recommendations, which have definitely inspired me to include New York in my trip. I can’t wait to see you there!
I’m so excited to hear that you’re coming to China! I can easily suggest places for you to visit because there are so many interesting ones. First of all, I must recommend my own city, Chongqing. Located in the south-west, it would give you an experience of urban China different to that of any other Chinese city.
Chongqing is a hilly city with a unique landscape, so the best way to travel around is by the light rail. Most of the light rail is above ground, so it’s a great way to get a feel for the place. Chongqing is also the perfect spot to see the amazingly clear line where the emerald waters of the Jialing River and those of the sandy Yangtze River meet. The city is beautiful at night, with its shining lights reflected on the rivers. The most spectacular nighttime views are from one of the surrounding mountain tops.
Last but not least, you absolutely mustn’t miss out on Chongqing food – it’s spicy, yes, but I promise that after trying our local hot pot, you’ll be hooked. There are loads of other things to see and I’d be very happy to show you around!
See you soon in New York!
Yours,
Jiang
