Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator
So happy <Introduction to 2181 Overture, Second Edition> finally translated to English by dear Emily Jin. Part of the story is real, that I do have a cousin who lived in @MDAndersonNews in 2018. I miss her so much now. Hope you enjoy reading the story.
Excited and terrified to have a translation published for the first time! Thank you so much to @commapress and @BristolTransla2 for this opportunity! I can't wait to read the whole book
And a huge thank you also to all the organisers and tutors, especially @maddierogers95, @rosschwartz, Amanda Hopkinson, Katie Black, and Christophe Fricker for working so hard on putting the summer school together.
Had such a great and inspiring week at @BristolTransla2. Thank you so much @NickyHarman_cn and @JackDHargreaves for all of your hard work, advice, and feedback.
@BristolTransla2 @NickyHarman_cn @JackDHargreaves Thank you also to the Chinese workshop group, I really enjoyed working with you and I haven’t had so much fun translating in ages
@gigicchang@valleygrrl@yilinwriter Would "transcendent" be too vague or clunky as a translation? It feels slightly more neutral than "fairy" and open to interpretation or explanation.
