Building a Multicultural World for Our Children
Panel 叶俊良 (Chun-Liang Yeh), Norlin Samat
This panel explores how we can cultivate multicultural understanding in young minds through translated literature and the introduction of translation. Our speakers will share their experiences in bringing translated children's books across languages and cultures, and how this nurtures empathy, respect for differences, and a love of languages in children.
叶俊良 (Chun-Liang Yeh) (Taiwan/France)
叶俊良来自台湾，2007 年与黎雅格 Loïc Jacob 在法国创办鸿飞文化出版社。鸿飞每年出版约 10 种新书，大部分是以旅行、对未知的好奇和人我关系为主轴的儿童图画故事书，其中《花木兰》以其出色的插图获得2015 年上海陈伯吹国际儿童文学奖。叶俊良长期与欧洲伙伴合作，善于和创作者展开对话，提供法国读者能够理解和欣赏的图画书，包括具有亚洲文化内容的作品。
Chun-Liang Yeh grew up in Taiwan and founded the publishing house HongFei Cultures with Loïc Jacob in France in 2007. HongFei publishes about 10 new titles per year, most of which are picture books for children on three major themes : travelling, curiosity and relationships. La Ballade de Mulan with its outstanding illustration won the Chen Bochui Award in Shanghai in 2015. Chun-Liang Yeh, having been working with European partners for many years, is at ease in guiding creators so as to deliver picture books, including those with Asian cultural contents, that can be understood and appreciated by French readers.
