Willkommen, bienvenue! New festival celebrates translated fiction from Cameroon to Slovakia as sales boom
A ‘breadth of languages and geographies’ … Storysmith, one of the independent bookshops organising Translated By, Bristol. Photograph: Emily Ross A new festival of translated literature is being launched in Bristol next week amid a sales boom in translated fiction in the UK. “Translated fiction becoming more popular in recent years has not necessarily led to a greater appreciation for the work of translators, or much consideration of the act of translation itself,” says Robinson.
Translated By, Bristol: A Festival of Literary Translation
Bristol is about to do something quietly revolutionary. From May 12 to 25, the city will host “Translated By, Bristol”, its first-ever festival dedicated entirely to translated literature — not just the stories that cross borders, but the people who carry them. Organized by local independent bookshops Gloucester Road Books and Storysmith, and curated in part by celebrated author and translator Polly Barton, the festival puts the spotlight on those who work behind the scenes: translators.
Science Expanding Amid Political Challenges: Translation Activities During the al-Mutawakkil ‘Alā’llāh Period (232-247 H/847-861 CE)

How the declining marriage rate in China has hurt the candy industry
And it seems that these young couples would rather shop online than take a stroll down Zigu Road. Kuang Jia, born in 1995 and married in October last year, is among them: “There’s not a single item for the wedding that I didn’t buy online.” She explains that initially, she’d merely grabbed a few items to decorate her apartment, but she hadn’t anticipated how busy she’d be as the big day approached.
China’s Gen Alpha Kids: Gambling Cards, Chasing Happiness
A lifeline for rural businesses? Away from China’s urban hubs, the card craze has given a lifeline to many rural stationery shops that cater to school kids. This was the case for Tang Xiao, the owner of one such shop. Though her business is not far from a township elementary school, it is located at the end of a winding road where few students would pass. Tang is used to fretting her days away at an empty store. “It’s been less than a year since I took over this lease.
A Museum of Forgotten Treasures tells the Stories of Migrant Workers
Urban villagers often move out in a hurry, and their children’s feelings are usually last on their minds. In a photo captured by Chen, a mother hastily sorts through toys in the middle of a downpour, while her son struggles to hold an umbrella over her head. Chen recalls the young boy begging her to keep some of the toys, but she snapped at him to be quiet. Clutching the two dolls he can keep, the boy continues to hold the umbrella, his face streaked with tears.
Talented Chinese Author Ah Yi’s Story About County Policing | Fiction
But from Qinglongshan police station, I worked my way up to the county public security bureau and the county government office. That somehow took five years. Over that period, my former chief was only sent to Baihu county at the same rank. One day, the chief and I were sitting at a mahjong table with the head of residents’ affairs and his retired predecessor. We were four generations, seated at each edge of the table.
A Countryside Police Station | Short Story
It was time to redirect the investigation. Back at the station, the aura of Sergeant Zhao’s “Outstanding Reconnaissance Soldier” award was beginning to fade as he got frustrated with himself. After a long time, he stopped grasping his hair and, in an exhausted weak voice, said: “The goods aren’t at the plant. If this was an inside job, we need to account for external involvement as well.
How A Lifestyle App Shed Light on China’s Education Gap
A secondary school teacher from a county in Henan province in central China confirmed these findings with her own experiences. Ms. Li reported witnessing children with arms covered in razor-cut scars from attempts at self-harm. Caught between the mental health crisis and the desire to continue raising their students’ scores, some schools have resorted to band-aid measures like enclosing student dormitories with barbed wire.

Playing with Fire: A Small Chinese Village’s Fearless New Year Tradition
Leaping over bonfires to ward off bad luck is a common festival practice in rural areas of northern China, as well as in many cultures around the world. But in Zhengpan village, located in eastern Guangdong, locals take it to the next level by daringly charging in and out of a raging blaze while carrying a divine statue. On the 13th day of the Lunar New Year, thick stacks of hay are paved over a ten-by-five-meter area in the village square of Zhengpan.
A Fruitful Year | Short Story
1 The first time I brought Zhuo Ran home was last year in February. I didn’t let my mother know beforehand, nor did I know how to tell her. One morning, I simply asked: “I’d like to bring a friend home in a day or two; could you manage to be back at noon?” My mother was kneeling on the floor, scraping and washing unscrupulously.
Discover a Unique Ritual to Welcome Lunar New Year in Guangdong | Photo Story
It’s a unique practice in this village of 500 people, who all belong to the Cai clan. These families have lived there for 25 generations since the 14th century. Fengxi village’s livelihood used to be dependent on sugarcane production, and the plant represents wealth in the local culture. Most of the villagers are now in the textile industry, with their hand-sewed bedding sets sold nationwide. But sugar cane still plays an important part in Lunar New Year traditions.
Maple Garden and Autumn Leaves - Kyoto
Daitoku-ji Temple is one of the largest Zen temples (Linzai sect) in Kyoto. When I think of Daitoku-ji Temple, I think of Ikkyu Zenji and Chasei Sen Rikyu, who are famous for their wisedom. You can visit visit four temples at Daitoku-ji Temple: Ryugen-in Temple, Daisen-in Temple, Koto-in Temple, and Zuiho-in Temple (There can be seasonal closures, so be sure to check in advance ). In this article I will be focusing on the Koto-in Temple.
Skyline Chronicles: Beijing’s Apartment Buildings On Camera
This first encounter with the capital’s apartment buildings inspired this photography series. I started to roam around Beijing, and occasionally my hometown in Hebei province, to find interesting cases. I would find a vantage point, perhaps atop another nearby building, where I could center the building in the frame. Later, on my computer, I would edit out extraneous elements like tree branches, telephone wires, and other buildings, leaving only the sky and my subject.
A Translated Chinese Essay About Pressures of the College Entrance Exam
In Lingnan, people often say: To children, the dragon-boat rains are the immortals draining their bathtub. Children are innocent. They don’t mind the humidity. The heavy rains are an excuse to play. All they care about is having fun in the water. To those a little bit older, on the verge of adulthood, however, the rains are unwelcome. The torrential downpour rakes the eaves and adds to their problems. The rains come, after all, at the same time as a major event in life: the college entrance exam.
Cheng Huizi’s Translated Short Story About Son Preference in China
There were all sorts of people on the bus. One man pulled his mask down to his chin and stuffed himself with a fried dough stick. Beside him, an older man, perhaps his father, with gray hair sticking out from under his cap, smacked his lips and ate a sticky rice and chicken dumpling. He meticulously licked up stray grains of rice from the steamed lotus leaf that the dumpling had come wrapped in.
The Volunteers Catching China’s Bird Poachers
Among the officers deployed that day was Fu Jun. He could see the evidence in front of his eyes, but he felt far from easy. He pointed to the April 2022 revision of the existing Wildlife Protection Law (WPL). This update brought an end to the former perspective where poachers were typified as “behavioral offenders” and, as a result, there was no threshold set for whether their actions qualify as criminal offenses.
Middle-agers in China Seeks New Start in Schools Overseas
However, Wang Lu is privileged in his clear-minded, adaptable approach to life abroad. Not everyone returned to school with such ease. Wang Zhenyong regrets what he now considers a hasty decision to study abroad. “I had been out of school for two decades. My English was so rusty that it took me four attempts to scrape a pass in my IELTS test [a standardized test for non-native English speakers].” His struggle with English was only compounded when he started attending his university classes.
How Poetry Saved a Rural Woman in China
The only thing that set Han apart from other farmers was her love of poetry. In April 2020, this passion brought unexpected changes to her life. Encouraged by her son, Han began to share her poetry on social media through a series of short videos. Soon enough, she went viral. Her talent was recognized to the point that she was invited to give a speech at the United Nations headquarters in Beijing. A call from a publishing house came in March 2022.
Threads in the Cosmos: A Translated Chinese Sci-Fi Short Story
Yah’din turned the yarn painting in her hands again and again, and looked at it from all angles. Like all yarn paintings on Longgu’er, it was an asymmetrical truncated cone. The yarns were woven together in a mysteriously complex way; the pattern was repeated regularly so that the warp and weft crisscrossed into vivid figures on all three sides. Even though time and sand had rubbed away much of the color, they could still make out the sheep, big and small. The sheep on each side were all different.
Passage: Mehdi Jahan | Mehdi Jahan
“Still, these images will haunt us in dreams and call on us; so that we may come and meet them, though no longer with the duty of having to follow the trajectory imposed by the text. (…) To take a term frequently used by painters: these images are ‘fixatives’, once isolated they serve no function. They should not, yet here they are, carrying their ‘expressive charge’. They persist in memory, beyond the text.
A Chinese Jew’s Journey to Jerusalem | First Person
Later, Tim contacted Shavei Israel, an Israel-based organization advocating for people of Jewish descent to return to Israel. The organization had helped Jewish descendants scattered in India to settle in Israel, covering the cost of their entire operation. At the end of Jin Jin and her peers’ studies in Tim’s school, two Rabbis and a representative of Shavei Israel visited China to inspect the living and learning conditions of Kaifeng Jews.
Chabrol | Dirk Lauwaert
Article NL EN Chabrol Chabrol bothers. He bothers me too, I must admit. He frustrates my universally recognised, unchallenged right as an art consumer to know where the maker stands, where he wants me to be and what he has to say to me. I prefer a banal message to an undecipherable one. I prefer a banal vision to a constantly changing one. I prefer a hypocritical morality to a morality of hypocrisy. Chabrol stubbornly and viciously backs out on all these consumer rights.
Truffaut | Dirk Lauwaert
Both The Story of Adele H and Small Change outraged me. With Truffaut’s latest, The Man Who Loved Women, I do not feel polemical, despite my disappointment, but disheartened. What’s going on with this oeuvre? And with this filmmaker of not-quite-yet-feeling? What happened to this sensitivity to the banal failure of feelings, to the stumbling of passion, to the breathtaking jumble of sobering concreteness and lyrical flights of the romantic?
Une visite au Louvre (2004, 47 min.) | Antoine Thirion
Where, during this “visit to the Louvre”, fifteen years after Cézanne (1989), is the painter whom Gilles Deleuze called “the Straubs’ master”? He is neither in the museum nor the series of paintings that make up this particular visit. Yet he occupies a central place through the text that a voice-over reads aloud; a material that could not be more impure, composed of memories, perforated with borrowed quotations, invented expressions, and passages of pure fiction in indirect style.
France Against the Robots (2020, 10 min.) | Nicole Brenez
January 5, 1945. In Brazil, Georges Bernanos, a fighter of words against the Vichy regime, wrote La France contre les robots, published in 1946 by “Edition France Libre” with this copyright: “by Comité Central de la France Libre au Brésil.” France: a country that owes the world a Revolution in line with that of 1789 and the Paris Commune; robots: industrial machines whose reign is at work in all political-economic regimes (Nazi, Fascist, capitalist, democratic, Communist).

After a Long Night | Nina de Vroome
Mattéo Eustachon, Léo Couture and Anton Balekdjian were students at Lyon’s CinéFabrique when they decided to make a film over the summer. That’s how the first part of the Mourir à Ibiza trilogy came about. The film begins with Léna (Lucile Balézeaux) arriving at the Gare d’Arles, when she hesitatingly asks a passer-by for directions. It’s as if the story itself is arriving in this new place and starts to explore the space of the film in progress.
How Chinese Women in Small Towns Got a Taste for Gold
Gold and weddings: A perfect match in lower-tier cities Marriage is usually the starting point for many small-town women’s fascination with gold jewelry. Such was the case for Chen. She grew up in a county under the jurisdiction of Huanggang city, Hubei province, a place where custom mandates that the groom-to-be presents his future bride’s family with the “gold trio set” on the occasion of his first formal visit.
Passage: Mónica Delgado | Mónica Delgado
“When the electronic sound in Wavelength reaches an ear-cracking shriek, the one-shot movie, a 45-minute zoom aimed at four splendid window rectangles, burns hot white, like the filaments in a light bulb.
Mónica Delgado
Article NL FR EN Toen ik de tekst van criticus Manny Faber las over een cruciale experimentele film, merkte ik iets bijzonders op: een manier om te adjectiveren wat onbegrijpelijk leek nadat je het gezien had. Het was niet alleen een kwestie van het vertalen van een ervaring, maar ook van het vinden van het juiste materiaal om over te brengen wat er op het scherm zindert.
Palestine and its People: When Evil is Legitimized From Dehumanizatio to Genocid in the Colonial Mindset Written by Dr. Zahra Wahib Khadraj
Translated By, Aya Hussein 2026 / 6 / 30 Palestine and its People: When Evil is Legitimized From Dehumanization to Genocide in the Colonial Mindset Written by Dr. Zahra Wahib Khadraj Translated by Aya Hussein Introduction They claimed that certain human races and nationalities are superior to others, asserting a supremacy that allegedly entitles those at the top to transgress against those deemed inferior through killing, genocide, destruction, and enslavement.
How Did Ancient Chinese People Travel?
We used to believe that ancient China was a society of low mobility, where men were irrevocably attached to the land and women were merely entrusted with birthing and raising children. The truth is that migration and social displacement were frequent occurrences over our long history. If we were to explore our own family trees, we’d all be sure to find at least one instance of our ancestors migrating.
Cinema Rediscovered | Steven Jacobs
Article NL EN Cinema Rediscovered Notes on Cinema Ritrovato 2021 Just like last year, a coronavirus edition of Bologna’s unsurpassed Cinema Ritrovato festival took place this summer. The festival is unique for its broad focus on the history of film, showing new restorations and recent (re)discoveries rather than new films.
Struggling Young Chinese Workers Stop Social Security Payments
Liu Fangjia: Keyu’s company struggled for business and was no longer able to pay wages. However, fear of the lackluster job market made it so that few of Keyu’s colleagues resigned of their own will. They would rather wait to earn a settlement from their current workplace. Keyu was hoping to get all her wage arrears repaid before leaving. At that time, she knew little about social security.
Do Chinese Kids Have Their Own Barbie?
Though it may look like a humble doll, it is actually an extremely delicate handicraft, with beautiful facial and hand features, retaining their grace and charm. Every frown and smile truly exudes elegance. Check these enchanting details in the two close-ups below. An ordinary silk figurine will take at least half a month to complete, and for the most intricate ones, we’re talking several years, even.
Il conformista | Dirk Lauwaert
Article NL EN Il conformista “Our bourgeoisie has a new joujou [plaything],” wrote an Italian film critic in response to Bertolucci’s latest film. It says a lot that this film has become not only the joujou (with all the connotations of chewing, slobbering and sucking) of the Italian bourgeoisie but also of bourgeoisie elsewhere. It is a film that entices one to take endlessly long detours and twists and steps forward and backward in an atmosphere of uncertainty about its value and meaning.
Conversation Piece | Dirk Lauwaert
Article NL EN Conversation Piece Miraculous, brilliant agility by an old man! For a few films now, Visconti has been undermining the abstract-theoretical superstructure that has served him for his entire life and oeuvre (as a guide or merely as an alibi?), which, since Death in Venice, he seems to be whispering ever more emphatically to those who are willing and able to hear it. A melancholic testament, a cultural pessimist dirge? Maybe.
Last Encore: The Final Days of an Aging Chinese Opera Troupe
When the program ended, 16-year-old Zhou briefly returned to her native Guilin before being relocated to Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, to join the provincial theater troupe. Li stayed in Liuzhou, where worked for a while in a department store. She was in her 40s when she started joining opera performances again in Yufeng Park at night, at a time when the glory days of singing revolutionary “model operas” had passed and Gui Opera caught once again the attention of the public.
How AI Disrupted Four Chinese Companies
We came up with our basic content packages over the course of two intense all-nighters where we wrote lesson plans before we tackled all the shooting, recording, and editing. Time was of the essence if we wanted to capitalize on this chance before the market got saturated. We started by answering our students’ questions on Douyin, where we also hosted live broadcast course sessions. Our course fees were initially about 300 yuan, which is relatively cheap.
Elastic Girls: A New Short Story of Old Shanghai
I. My grandmother made a wish on her eightieth birthday. She wanted to go to Shanghai, and she wanted me to come with her. I was already on my summer break, and I’ve always liked reading novels about Old Shanghai, so I jumped at the chance to help her make her birthday wish come true. I had heard from my mother that my grandmother had never really traveled. In the ’60s and ’70s, she had stewed at home for years on end, not even crossing the threshold, unless someone dragged her out.
Rock is Not Dead in China, Thanks to This Small City
The musicians in Xinxiang didn’t realize how unique they were, nor did they ever deliberately place themselves in this so-called “rock ’n’ roll” scene. They regard their music endeavors as part of their lives. Perhaps they really did make history. But now, it’s become part of their humdrum routine. Passing the baton Those music lovers from yesteryear are now married and running their own careers, but they all believe that kids should learn music and have fun with it.
Krzysztof Kieslowski | Dirk Lauwaert
Article NL EN 28.06.2023 Krzysztof Kieslowski First there is the image, the quality of the image: ugly, brutal, grimy, plump, direct. Especially that, breathtakingly direct. This is poor cinema, made quickly, without great resources but with an audacity we haven’t seen in years. The cinematic cynicism of the Pole Kieslowski moves me greatly. Kieslowski’s films are films that haven’t been endlessly pondered over: the spur of the moment is given space, the risk of bad taste too.
The French Connection | Dirk Lauwaert
Article NL EN 28.06.2023 The French Connection It’s incredible how dazzling the effect of the slogan “realism” is in our culture. It’s a self-destructive, self-reducing mechanism. As soon as you wield that slogan, as soon as you adhere to that programme, as soon as you use that interpretational framework, you slide irresistibly from one “basic reality” to another. You irresistibly come sliding down the slide, never reaching the end point of a “true realism”, never arriving at the ultimate reality.
New York Hollywood | Dirk Lauwaert
Article NL EN 28.06.2023 New York Hollywood About Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976), Next Stop, Greenwich Village (Paul Mazursky, 1976), The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (Ted Kotcheff, 1974), The King of Marvin Gardens (Bob Rafelson, 1972). But also about The Fortune (Mike Nichols, 1975), The Sunshine Boys (Herbert Ross, 1875) and Hustle (Robert Aldrich, 1975). Dwelling These are films in which the city and the home play an important role.
