Recently, Shaanxi Translation Association held a seminar for the publication of
“An Wei’s Essay Collection” in the Shaanxi Provincial Library. Prof. Hu Zongfeng, Yuan Xiling, and Gao Minna attended the seminar and make speeches.
An Wei is the director of Shaanxi Translation Association, vice-president of Translation Association of China, and the expert of studying Helen Snow. When US president Jimmy Carter, vice president Mondale, and Secretary of the state Henry Kissinger visited China, An Wei was the interpreter for them. What’s more, An Wei is also the pioneer in studying Helen Snow, the ex-wife of American reporter Edgar Snow, who wrote The Red Star over China. Helen Snow has made great contribution to the book, but nobody knew her silent work. By An Wei’s efforts, the scholars in China and even all over the world have begun to study Helen Snow.
