About Book

Jiang Yi, a bilingual writer with profound influence in the history of Chinese literature in the 20th century,
He uses his unique "Chinese eyes" to look at China and the West, and judge the past and present.
——————————————————————
As an "international ambassador of Chinese culture," Jiang Yi made an indelible contribution to the spread of Chinese culture abroad in the 20th century and played a crucial role in reshaping British perceptions of China. This book recounts Jiang Yi's work and life during his time in the UK, describing the community of Chinese intellectuals who settled in Hampstead and recounting their interactions with London's cultural elite. This book reflects the latest developments in international academic research on 20th-century overseas Chinese writers.
Editor's Recommendation:
Along with Lin Yutang and Xiong Shiyi, Chiang Yi is considered one of the three most influential bilingual writers in 20th-century Chinese literature. He viewed both East and West, and judged the past and present through a unique "Chinese lens." This book tells the story of Chiang Yi and his circle of friends, a little-known part of their time in London. We encounter the profiles of numerous prominent figures, including Xiong Shiyi, Wang Lixi, Cui Ji, Xiao Qian, and Yang Xianyi... Countless details and past events are vividly portrayed, capturing the cultural exchange between China and the West, a scene of conversation and discussion among the Chinese intellectuals residing in London during that era.
