How did you get interested in Chinese literature
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.I also thought the Chinese language sounded so beautiful and I found that I liked Chinese music, too---the movie’s theme tune, Song of the Shepherd.

I became interested in language 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What it is like:
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 southwest, 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. And Chongqing is the perfect spot to see the amazingly clear line where the emerald waters of the Jialing River and those of the sandy Changjiang River meet. The city is also 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 one of our local hotpots, 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
Thank you~~
