Letter from Xiao Qian to Patricia Laurence ; 2 June 1994.
In the late 40s, I came back to a China deep in civil war and I had to earn a living both working as professor at a university and a leader writer for the liberal newspaper Ta kung pao [Da gong bao]. After 49, especially in the 50-60s, even Jane Eyre and Jean Christophe were condemned as 'poisonous'. To translate [Virginia] Woolf was unthinkable.
