1 1928 [Carroll, Lewis]. Alisi Zhongguo you ji. Shen Congwen zuo [ID D32102].
Hu Rong : Shen picked Alice and the rabbit (Nuoxi) out of the original, and made another dream for them, where they traveled in China together. The journey of oriental exoticism turns out to be a nightmare for the two visitors from the west, for wherever they go around China, famine, ignorance and superstition prevail. The gentlemen in the town all worship the west blindly, and are busy fighting each other along with a group of mean and snobbish servants. Alice and her partner then come to the west of Hunan province, a mountainous residence for Miao people, one of the minorities of China, and they witness a number of uncivilized customs, including a ruthless slave trade. Finally they suddenly wake up and end their extremely uncomfortable 'adventures' at a loss.

2 1990 Kinkley, Jeffrey C. Echoes of Maxim Gorky in the works of Ding Ling and Shen Congwen. In : Interliterary and intraliterary aspects of the May fourth movement 1919 in China.
Jeffrey C. Kinkley : The importance of a Maxim Gorky to modern Chinese literature is evident. Mao Dun seid, in the fact that no other foreign author was translated and retranslated as often as he.
The popularity of Mother in China was not an unprecedented and even a surprising phenomenon. An impressive sign of Gorky's impact on China is the fact that Mother had literary influence, including some not even related to the novel's political ethos. Ding Ling's Mother (1933), like Gorky's Mother is based on true incidents and tells the story of a goodhearted mother.
The first striking interliterary aspect of Gorky in the works of Shen Congwen and Ding Ling is Shen's use of Gorky's titles. In 1927 Shen published Dao shi jie shang (Into the world). This must mimic the title of the second volume of Gorky's autobiography Into the world. His work Three men and a girl (1930) echoes the famous Twenty-sic men and a girl, one of Gorky's first stories translated in China.
Shen Congwen seems to have quoted from Gorky's style through translation. Shen may also have been influenced by a personal and spiritual affinity with Gorky.
