WELCOME Mango Cat THE TRANSLATOR OF “ Jun Jiuling ”

TRANSLATOR’S THOUGHTS

Hello, everyone, I am Mango Cat! I am so excited to be able to share my work with all of you. I've been reading Chinese web novels for several years now, but this is the first novel I have ever tried to translate. I am born and raised in the USA, so like you, I am unfamiliar with many things from historical China. However, I love the idea of being able to learn more about my heritage while sharing it with others. I hope that all of you will be equally enchanted with a story that never fails to surprise.

AUTHOR’S FOREWORD

Hi, overseas friends. I am Xi Xing. This is my work, Jun Jiuling. The title of this work is the main character's name, Jun being a Chinese surname, and Jiuling her given name, meaning longevity. This is the tale of an princess from long-ago China and her quest for revenge. Although the setting and culture may be very different from your own, I believe that readers around the world believe in the same pursuit of love and justice. I can guarantee that this is an interesting story, and I am so very excited to have the chance to know you. Please, enjoy the adventure along with an Ancient Chinese princess.

AUTHOR’S WORDS TO THE TRANSLATOR

Dear friend, I am very honored that you are translating Jun Jiuling so that it can be shared for the enjoyment of many more readers. This certainly cannot be an easy novel, what with it taking place in ancient China but also being told for the modern reader. So despite the setting, it contains modern ideas, like an independent personality as well as the spirit of ancient Confucian values of loyalty and righteousness. It is also not a very short work. It is indeed hard work, but with your toil, readers of different cultures and backgrounds can come to enjoy an historical Chinese romance novel. Please, allow me to convey my sincerest gratitude unto you.
