[HIGHLIGHTS] East-West Question丨Liu Chengfu: Why can literary translation build a bridge of cultural communication between China and France?

Liu Chengfu: Literary translation is a mirror that can reflect on French society and allow us to reflect on ourselves. China and France are important representatives of Eastern and Western civilizations.

Translators and their translated works serve as a bridge between the Chinese and French literary circles, enhancing cultural exchanges between the two countries. In 2021, the narrative novel "Kingfisher Villa" by French writer Adrian Goetz was translated by me. Subsequently, I received a letter from French President Macron to Liu Chengfu.
