It's so interesting that people treat writers and translators so differently in North America.

Many of the modern #Chinese poets that I translate were #translators in their own right. Dai Wangshu translated literature from French into Chinese and Qiu Jin once translated a Japanese textbook for training nurses into Chinese. I can probably think of other examples.

Translation has always been valued as an important art.
