Crystal Boys, Research Centre for Translation

Crystal Boys is widely known as the first gay novel in twentieth-century literature to be written in Chinese. First published in 1983, it was issued twice in traditional Chinese characters in Taiwan, seven times in simplified Chinese characters in the People's Republic of China, and pirated once in Hong Kong in serialisation in Modern Literature, a journal founded by Pai in the 1950s. Hugely acclaimed and critically canonised, Crystal Boys was filmed in 1986, made into a television series in 2003, and adapted into a play in English in 1997 and in Chinese in 2014. In addition to this English rendition by Howard Goldblatt, the novel is available in French, German, Dutch, Italian, Japanese and Vietnamese translations.
