Liang Yuchun, known as “China’s Elia” in the history of modern Chinese literature, once played an important role in introducing and translating foreign literature, especially English essays, in the 1920s & 1930s. The present study first gives a general overview of Liang’s English prose translation. Then the author focuses her attention on the exploratory analysis of Liang’s motivation for translating English essays and his literary relationship with British essayists, John Galsworthy, Charles Lamb and Mary Russell Mitford in particular.
