CGTN:中国乡村文学能否征服西方？

Could Chinese rural literature conquer the West?

　　The London Book Fair is one of the largest of its kind in the world and is renowned for bringing together world-class storytellers and publishers. The three-day event is also where many renowned writers opt to raise their profiles by launching their new works.

　　伦敦书展是世界上规模最大的书展之一，它以汇集世界一流的故事讲述者和出版商而闻名。为期三天的书展活动也是许多知名作家选择通过推出新作品来提高知名度的地方。

　　Another award-winning novelist, Xue Mo, was invited to speak about female power reflected in his literary works.

　　获奖作家雪漠受邀讲述了其文学作品中体现的女性力量。

　　Xue Mo has so far published 105 works and culture-themed publications, which have been translated into various languages, including English, French and German. At the Frankfurt Book Fair last year, Mo ranked No. 1 in terms of media coverage.

　　雪漠迄今已出版105种文学和文化作品，被翻译成多种语言，包括英语、法语和德语。在去年的法兰克福书展上，“雪漠Xue Mo”的国际媒体关注度排名第一。

　　The author says rural life symbolizes "homeland," which has been significantly altered by various technologies due to the Industrial Revolution.

　　雪漠认为乡村生活象征着“故土”，因为工业革命的影响，乡村生活发生了巨大的变化。

　　He said: "The most beautiful part of human society is rural life - the period before the industrial revolution slipped into our life. It was the feelings of peaceful, simple, pastoral and idyllic life. The main reason writings about rural life are popular is because human beings are nostalgic for those times."

　　他说：“人类社会最美好的生活是工业革命之前的那种宁静、简单、田园牧歌般的乡村生活。人们对那段时光的怀念，是乡村生活作品能够流行的主要原因”

　　However, Xue says it remains difficult for Chinese literary works to break into the western market, but hopes that will change in the future.

　　雪漠认为，虽然中国文学作品进入西方市场仍然很难，但希望未来会有所改变。

　　He added: "China's eastern wisdom, which is about finding inner peace from within, not from without, can help bring Chinese literature onto the bookshelves of western readers.”

　　雪漠说：“中国的东方智慧向内寻找心的安宁，而不是向外去找，这种智慧可以让中国文学作品进入西方读者的书架。”
