Title: On Promoting Contemporary Chinese Literature Abroad from Cultural Diaspora’s Perspective: With the Translation of Liu Zhenyun’s Novels as an Example

Abstract: At present, Liu Zhenyun, a new realism writer, has won several important cultural awards overseas, signifying his works’ popularity and impact on foreign cultures. Thus, its translation research needs to be followed up. From a diaspora perspective, which involves cross-ethnic and cross-cultural connotation, this paper tries to explore the transmission value of contemporary Chinese literature, the choice of specific literature works, translation strategies and transmission path. At the same time, it also argues that Chinese diasporic translators play an important role in the dissemination of Chinese culture, when it comes to coordinating the relationship between Chinese culture’s transmission and its acceptability by the target culture.

Key words: Chinese literature going globally; Liu Zhenyun’s novels; cultural diaspora; diasporic translators; translation strategies
