A special translation event was held on Sunday in Xi'an, the capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, bringing together renowned translators and writers from both China and abroad. The gathering served as a platform to discuss how translation allows revolutionary culture to resonate worldwide, acting as a bridge between peoples. 

The special event was organized to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

Hosted by the Translators Association of China and co-organized by the Shaanxi Translators Association, along with several universities and a research center in the province, the event explored the emergence and evolution of Shaanxi's distinctive revolutionary culture, and how this heritage can be translated for global audiences. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on articulating the contemporary spirit and global expression of this cultural narrative.

Distinguished participants included renowned Chinese translators and writers He Gu, Mu Tao, and Hu Zongfeng, as well as British translator and expert in English and American literature Robin Gilbank.

Drawing on their extensive experience, they shared insights highlighting the vital role of translation in preserving cultural memory and fostering cross-cultural appreciation.
