Chinese-themed children's book comes into spotlight at London Book Fair

"We aim to help international young readers discover more about Chinese children's books," said award-winning translator Helen Wang at the group discussion organized by "Global Youth Readers," an international youth reading exchange platform initiated by China National Publications Import & Export (Group) Corporation.

Wang noted that translators always play a crucial role in terms of bringing more Chinese books to international readers.

Nicky Harman, another UK-based prize-winning translator, said there are more and more young talented translators helping international readers to better understand China.

The book fair, one of the world's biggest publishing trade fairs, is set to run until Thursday with more than 900 exhibitors. This year, more than 60 Chinese publishers participated in the fair, the first in-person edition of the event since 2019.
