Zhongguo yu Yazhou wenhua jiaoliu zhi 中國與南亞 文化交流志 (Records of Cultural Exchanges between China and South Asia), written by Xue Keqiao
Relay translation and South–South imaginary
This article examines the translation and reception of the poetry of Muhammad Iqbal—a Muslim revivalist and national poet of Pakistan in China during the late 1950s era of decolonization, as part of a broader imaginary of Chinese-Pakistani solidarity in the Global South. The 1950s have seen a burst of translations of foreign literatures into Chinese, in tandem with China’s leadership position in various iterations of non-alignment during the Cold…

Through close reading of poems by Xu Zhimo and Bing Xin, this art…
