Professor Liu Wenfei,a researcher and translator of Russian literature,on the basis of his own academic practice,has creatively proposed the concepts of"Sino-Russian literary diplomacy","Chinese school of Russian literary history"and"Chinese interpretation of Russian literature".He advocates that Russian literary studies in China should be connected to both the Russian-Soviet literary traditions and the European-American traditions of Russian literary studies,with an emphasis on the interpretation of the national consciousness,cultural and ideological history of Russian literature.Meanwhile Professor Liu Wenfei takes into account the social impact of literary research,and through a series of translations and cultural activities,he is committed to promoting the popularization of Russian literary research through the three paths of scholarship,translation,and writing.The new generation of Russian literature researchers represented by Professor Liu Wenfei has incorporated the latest research concepts of the Chinese perspective,Chinese interpretations and Chinese characteristics into the writing of the multi-volume General History of Russian Literature.This is a comprehensive update of the history of Russian literature in China presenting to the world the results of nearly a century and a half of Russian literature research in China.This project establishes a Chinese school of Slavic studies with its own national style and position,and allows the international community of Slavic scholars to hear the voices of China.
