China in One Village: A Conversation on Literature and Translation in a Changing World
This discussion derives from a bilingual virtual panel held at the University of California, Irvine on June 9, 2021. In light of the English publication of Liang Hong’s China in One Village, this roundtable is organized to discuss the significance of this work in Chinese literary, media, and social history. Originally published in 2010, China in One Village kickstarted a phenomenal wave of nonfiction writing in China and established Liang Hong’s reputation as an important chronicler of China’s fast-changing society. As the first public conversation with both Liang Hong and her translator Emily Goedde, this panel is convened by Shiqi Lin and joined by Hu Ying and Carlos Rojas. Linshan Jiang and Dingding Wang served as interpreters during the live discussion.
