history

Born in 1908 near Shanghai, he studied in Paris and translated more than thirty works, among them Romain Rolland's Jean-Christophe and much of Balzac. He held that a translation should catch the spirit of the original rather than copy its form, which he called 神似. He and his wife died in 1966.
