Hi everyone,
I'd like to introduce my newly published short story collections (a translation from Chinese): The Wonder of Encounters. You could find it in a lot of places including A m a z o n:
I have actually started translating my own work about 8 years ago. This particular collection took 4 people and 2 years to finish.
Below are two of the reviews:
I have always felt that a writer's mission is to effectively express the inherent quality of things and the broad sense of humanity. A work so created, I believe, can maintain its artistic appeal and be appreciated by any reader, regardless of his or her race, religion, language, culture, age, gender, or profession. In reading Minglu's works, I am sure you will find that she is a gifted writer who successfully accomplishes this mission.
—— William Marr, bilingual poet and former president of Illinois State Poetry Society
From the spiritual background of the Shang dynasty to the backdrop of the Cultural Revolution, from a China’s remote village to a Western town, this wonderful short story collection lets you experience a wide diversity of life and conflict.
—— Yingcai Xu, author of Selected Works of Contemporary Chinese Prose
I hope that you would like it. Thanks everyone, Minglu Zeng
Below is the introduction about myself :)
Minglu Zeng was born in Anhai, a small town of Southeast China and graduated from Peking University with a Master’s Degree majoring in Chinese Linguistics and Literature. She came to the U.S. and switched to majoring in computer programming and has been a professional programmer for over sixteen years. In the meantime, she has pursued a spare-time career of creative writing. So far she has published poetry and prose collections, novels and short stories in Chinese. Her works have been printed on Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong literary magazines and papers and she has won several literary awards. One of her stories was adapted into an English short movie and has been nominated for one of the major literary award in Mainland China.
Since December 2014, some of her poems and short stories have been translated into English and published on English magazines such as Eastlit and GUWAHATIAN.
(I will try to post some pictures of my hometown when I can.)
