Why one British publisher dedicated his life to translating Chinese literature

When most English-speaking readers knew little about contemporary Chinese literature, one British publisher set out to change that. In this episode, we sit down with veteran publisher and translator Martin Savery, whose decades-long career has helped bring contemporary Chinese literature to English-speaking readers around the world. In an era dominated by short videos, social media, and shrinking attention spans, why does he still believe in books? And what can stories reveal about China that headlines cannot? Don't miss out!
