乌兰

Public information about Ulan is limited, and further verification is needed regarding their identity and life. Nevertheless, the thirteen works held in the collection offer a rough picture of the fields in which Ulan has translated and written. Ulan's translations are mainly of foreign literature, including multiple volumes of the fantasy series The Witcher and The Books of Jacob. Striving for fidelity to the originals while remaining readable, these translations provide Chinese readers with a relatively complete body of contemporary Eastern European and English-language fantasy literature. Ulan has also taken part in compiling the historical reader The Galloping Conquerors of the Steppe: Liao, Western Xia, Jin and Yuan, which concerns the history of northern ethnic groups and dynasties in ancient China. Overall, Ulan's work spans literary translation and popular history, with a considerable number of titles that have exerted some influence among readers of genre fiction.
