Q 1: 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.

Careful reading
Joachim
若阿基姆
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.
Q 1(Para.1--4)
Careful reading
Mai
马伊
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.

Petko 佩特科
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 has translated it into Bulgarian. My next goal is to translate The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Q 2(Para.5--8)
Careful reading
Annelous
安妮鲁斯
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 Han Han, and I am now working on those of Xu Zechen.
Q 2(Para.5--8)
Careful reading
Joachim 若阿基姆

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 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.

Petko佩特科
Thirty-six Stratagems has sold more than 1000 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!
Q 3(Para.9--12)
Careful reading
Annelous 安妮鲁斯
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.
Q 3(Para.9--12)
Careful reading
Joachim 若阿基姆
The Novels of Mo Yan and Yu Hua sell quite well in France. Mo Yan was already hugely popular, but became even more so after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature. Chinese literary works tend to be highly thought of.

2 What work would you recommend as an introduction to Chinese literature Why
I would like to ask them about their favorite Chinese literary genres and why.
I would recommend "Records of the Grand Historian" (Shi Ji) as an introduction to Chinese literature. It's a classic historical work that provides a comprehensive view of Chinese history and culture, and it's written by the renowned historian Sima Qian.
I’d like to recommend the novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which presents enormous battle scenes and military stratagems of Ancient China.

3 Which works of Western literature are popular in China What make
them popular
Some popular Western literary works in China include classics such as "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen and "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. They are popular because they offer timeless themes, profound insights into human nature, and engaging storytelling.

4 In what different ways do the two reading passages in this unit improve your understanding of China’s influence on the world
Dunhuang, as a world-class tourist destination boasting sites with UNESCO-protected heritage status as well as the gateway to the world, will be attracting masses of foreign visitors to China to promote the development of China’s tourism. In the meanwhile tourism’s promotion will naturally strengthen the national economy of China.
Chinese culture runs a long history and has a profound theory in our hearts. Literature, as the carrier of culture, plays an important role in conveying Chinese civilisation to the world. The works of literature, music, arts, translations and paintings will present a thoroughly new image to the rest of China. We’re aimed at our culture being blooming everywhere in the world to make the world more clearly know Chinese civilisation and industrious and great Chinese people.

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 Han Han, and I am now working on those of Xu Zechen.

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.

2 What work would you recommend as an introduction to Chinese literature Why
I would like to ask them about their favorite Chinese literary genres and why.
I would recommend "Records of the Grand Historian" (Shi Ji) as an introduction to Chinese literature. It's a classic historical work that provides a comprehensive view of Chinese history and culture, and it's written by the renowned historian Sima Qian.
I’d like to recommend the novel The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which presents enormous battle scenes and military stratagems of Ancient China.

4 In what different ways do the two reading passages in this unit improve your understanding of China’s influence on the world
Dunhuang, as a world-class tourist destination boasting sites with UNESCO-protected heritage status as well as the gateway to the world, will be attracting masses of foreign visitors to China to promote the development of China’s tourism. In the meanwhile tourism’s promotion will naturally strengthen the national economy of China.
Chinese culture runs a long history and has a profound theory in our hearts. Literature, as the carrier of culture, plays an important role in conveying Chinese civilisation to the world. The works of literature, music, arts, translations and paintings will present a thoroughly new image to the rest of China. We’re aimed at our culture being blooming everywhere in the world to make the world more clearly know Chinese civilisation and industrious and great Chinese people.
