Author/Creator: Elaine Yin-ling Ng
Publication Details: China and Its Others: Knowledge Transfer through Translation, 1829-2010, pp.165-188
Annotation: Linguistic analysis of Hai Guan s 1956 Chinese translation to reveal the work s historical context and propagandistic purpose. Ng discusses Guan s background and the social influence of China s Communist Party. Contends that images of Santiago persevering in the face of adversity were intended to inspire ordinary readers and arouse national consciousness.
