Contemporary China Through Literature: Characters and Translation

This event, organised in conjunction with the Business Confucius Institute at the University of Leeds, will combine a presentation by multi-award-winning Chinese novelist Lu Min 鲁敏, with an interactive two-way translation workshop, facilitated by world-leading translators Nicky Harman and Helen Wang (the translators of Lu Min's Dinner for Six, among many other works), with Professor Zhu Zhenwu (Director of the Foreign Literature Research Center at Shanghai Normal University, and translator of Dan Brown’s novels into Chinese).

This afternoon programme is part of a three-week author residency organised by the Confucius Institute at Oxford Brookes University. The author will attend Oxford Literary Festival and major publishing events as well as engage with school and university students and the general public to discuss topics relating to translation, publishing and Chinese culture.
