Yu Kwang-chung distinguished himself with a multiplicity of talents: He was a reputed poet, celebrated prose writer, renowned literary critic, professional academic editor, and respected chair professor at both The Chinese University of Hong Kong and National Sun Yat-sen University. In addition, he was an established bilingual literary translator known for both English-Chinese and Chinese-English renditions. Studies on Yu’s Chinese poetry and prose writing have developed significantly in the academia of contemporary Chinese literature across the Taiwan Strait; however, his particular style and idiosyncratic strategy in literary translation, especially in poetry translation, remains yet to be further explored (Shan,“Portrait”6). To a certain extent, Yu’s lifelong enterprise in bilingual literary translation has been somewhat obscured by his multi-talented performances and publications in both creative and academic undertakings, as Shan Te-hsing points out in“The Portrait of a Poetry Translator as a Young Man”(189n1). Yu was such a serious translator that he never ceased to revise his previous translations until the end of his life, across a working lifespan of over half a century. Both Chinese reception and Taiwanese recognition of Yu as an outstanding literary translator has drawn attention to his lifetime experiments on the poetics of literary translation, which according to Yu the poet-translator himself, knows no perfection even in the wake of a lifetime pilgrimage (Benjamin 15-25; Yu 3-4). |
