Chinese Family Culture Translated and Reconstructed

More about the book

The book examines the reconstruction of Chinese family culture through the lens of translations of Chinese fiction, influenced by the social environment of the early 20th century. It highlights the roles of sinologists, foreign journalists, and Chinese writers in shaping this culture via their translation strategies, which include both faithful and creative interpretations. The research emphasizes how English translations have not only reproduced but also reinterpreted Chinese family culture, bridging cultural gaps between China and English-speaking countries.
