A Chinese Woman in Translation: A Feminist Rereading of Hong Ying's Ji'Er De NÜ'Er in English Translation

ince the 1980s, scholars from different countries, especially Canada, have examined issues about translation from the feminist perspective. Most of the relevant literature addresses the fate of women writers in translation with a view to finding out whether they are just as unfairly treated in translation as they are in real life. However, discussions about Chinese women writers in translation are apparently absent in the existing scholarship. Taking this into account, this article observes the English translation of Hong Ying’s Ji’er de Nü’er from the feminist perspective. It turns out that the English translation mitigates feminist values represented in the original to varying degrees. The following conclusion is made: the female Chinese writer Hong Ying is translated less as a feminist than as a Chinese; the English translation made in this way partially accounts for the target audience’s failure to see feminism in this piece of feminist work.
