Renditions no. 91

Renditions, no. 91, is a general issue featuring a diversity of works originally written in the twentieth century. We begin with a special section devoted to seven relatively little-known short pieces by the extraordinary and tragically short-lived writer Xiao Hong 蕭紅, elegantly rendered by the distinguished translator Howard Goldblatt. Other features comprise Zhu Xiang's 朱湘 long satirical poem "The Cat's Admonition" 貓誥, a compact and clever allegory of the disposition of Chinese intellectuals in the immediate post–May Fourth era; "The Man from Greece" 希臘人 by Lin Cantian 林參天, one of our first ventures into publishing translations of literature written in Chinese in South-east Asia; and "The Photograph" 一張照片 by Yeh Hsia-Ti 葉霞翟, the love story of the author and the brilliant Nationalist general Hu Zongnan 胡宗南.

The publication is a collection of the essays of the symposium, "Republic of China and Its Eyewitness Accounts" hosted by the Research Centre for Contemporary Chinese Culture in May 2017. With the recent opening of new archives, diaries, memoirs, etc., researchers are provided with an important opportunity to deepen their study on the history of the Republic of China. The symposium invited more than 20 scholars from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea to reveal the background for the occurrence of a series of major historical events through their study of these precious historical materials. The publication of their essays reflected the latest research achievements in the study of the history of the Republic of China.
