But when news of the international publication of Wuhan Diary appeared online in early April of 2020, Fang Fangs writings became the target of a series of online attacks by "Chinese ultra-nationalists." Over time, these attacks morphed into one of the most sophisticated and protracted hate Campaigns against a Chinese writer in decades. Meanwhile, as controversy around Wuhan Diary swelled in China, the author was transformed into a global icon, honored by the BBC as one of the most influential women of 2020 and featured in stories by dozens of international news outlets. This book, by the translator of Wuhan Diary into English, alternates between a first-hand account of the translation process and more critical observations on how a diary became a lightning rod for fierce political debate and the target of a sweeping online campaign that many described as a "cyber Cultural Revolution." Eventually, even Berry would be pulled into the attacks and targeted by thousands of online trolls. This book answers the questions: why would an online lockdown diary elicit such a strong reaction among Chinese netizens? How did the controversy unfold and evolve? Who was behind it? And what can we learn from the "Fang Fang Incident" about contemporary Chinese politics and society? The book will be of interest to students and scholars of translation, as well as anyone with special interest in translation, US-Chinese relations, or internet culture more broadly. Michael Berry is Professor of Contemporary Chinese Cultural Studies and Director of the Center for Chinese Studies at UCLA, USA. He is the author of Speaking in Images: Interviews with Contemporary Chinese Filmmakers (2006), A History of Pain: Trauma in Modern Chinese Literature and Film (2008), Jia Zhangkes Hometown Trilogy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009), Boiling the Sea: Hou Hsiao-hsiens Memories of Shadows and Light (2014), and Jia Zhangke on Jia Zhangke (2022); the editor of The Musha Incident: A Reader on the Indigenous Uprising in Colonial Taiwan (2022) and co-editor of Divided Lenses (2016) and Modernism Revisited (2016). 001451835 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 19, 2022). 001451835 60010 $$aFang, Fang,$$d1955-$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000084112181 001451835 60010 $$aBerry, Michael,$$d1974-$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000121453728 001451835 650_0 $$aTranslating and interpreting. 001451835 651_0 $$aChina$$xSocial conditions$$y2000- 001451835 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451835 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031168585$$z9783031168581$$w(OCoLC)1341438061 001451835 852__ $$bebk 001451835 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-16859-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451835 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451835$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451835 980__ $$aBIB 001451835 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451835 982__ $$aEbook 001451835 983__ $$aOnline 001451835 994__ $$a92$$bISE
