As a breakthrough work in recent domestic martial arts films,Blades of the Guardians:Wind Rises in the Desert takes the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty as its narrative backdrop.Through the intertwined elements of chivalrous taste,sentiment,and heart,it achieves a powerful reinven-tion of Chinese Wuxia spirit.Firstly,the film,guided by chivalrous taste,completes an aesthetic reconstruc-tion of martial arts spectacle through the interweaving of real and imagined geographical wonders and hard-edged action spectacles.Secondly,with chivalrous sentiment as the key,it interprets the authentic adher-ence to martial arts sentiments through the adherence to survival and integrity,and the coexistence of warmth and righteousness.Finally,based on chivalrous heart,it promotes the continuous inheritance of the martial arts spirit through the"de-heroic"character setting and craftsmanship tribute to martial arts'collective memory,painting a magnificent epic of the martial arts world at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Scare Out,released in the 2026 Spring Festival film season,is Zhang Yimou's first attempt to focus on the contemporary national security battlefield.As a spy movie,it achieves collaborative innova-tions in suspense mechanisms,character portrayal and visual expression on the basis of inheriting the tradi-tional genre paradigm.In terms of suspense construction,through an interwoven dual narrative structure of overt and covert narrative threads,the film transforms the external suspense of traditional spy films,which relies on plot reversals,into psychological suspense centered on characters'inner conflicts.In character building,the film focuses on depicting the indeterminate state of Huang Kai,a liminal figure,and presents the complex psychological process he undergoes in the course of being coerced into betrayal.In visual expres-sion,the film constructs a sense of being surveilled in the technological era via drone shots,surveillance foot-age and follow-shot techniques,forming a metaphorical aesthetics with temporal and symbolic implications.Despite the functional portrayal of secondary characters,it still provides a new narrative paradigm and aes-thetic experience for the creation of contemporary national security-themed spy movies.
Based on a case study of the English translations of The Story of Yingying,this comparative analysis reveals how Arthur Waley and Lin Yutang reshaped the image of Cui Yingying across cultures.As a cross-cultural communicator dedicated to promoting traditional Chinese culture,Lin Yutang filtered Chinese culture through a Western lens.By adding details and making revisions,he portrayed Yingying as a woman with modern,independent consciousness.In contrast,Arthur Waley,aiming for cultural representation,selected and reinforced the feudal ethical elements in the original text,deepening the image of Yingying as a submissive female figure within the patriarchal Chinese society.The differentiated approaches of the two translators suggest that translators of classic literary works actually act as cultural mediators rather than as literal conveyors of the original text in the traditional sense.Based on their distinct translation purposes and considerations of reader reception,they negotiate the culture represented in the source text and make corresponding cultural adaptations.
Since the 21st century,India has successively published three Hindi versions of Wild Grass,marking a new phase in the translation of Lu Xun's works in India.Among these,the directly translated version Wild Grass and the indirectly translated version Wild Grass:Lu Xun's Poems represent two types in con-temporary Hindi translation practices of Lu Xun's works:direct translation by scholar-translators and indirect translation by writer-translators.These two versions exhibit significant differences in their treatment of culture-loaded terms,choice of genre,and interpretation of content,which represent two prevailing trends in current Lu Xun's works translation practices in India.Through examining the characteristics and limitations of these two types of translation practices of Lu Xun's works,this study not only provides an understanding of the current reception of Lu Xun's works in India but also offers constructive thoughts for the translation of Chinese modern literature.
