About the author

Yu Shi is an active translator and author in the Chinese publishing world, though public information about her is limited: her nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded. Judging from the eleven works listed in the database, her work centers mainly on the translation and introduction of foreign literature. Her representative translations include Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale and its sequel The Testaments, the nine-volume Atwood collection, a collection of novels by Tokarczuk, and works such as A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Flights. These titles mostly fall within foreign literature and social fiction, dealing with gender politics, power structures, and individual fate, which shows her sustained attention to major contemporary writers and serious themes. Beyond translation, she has also contributed to collective volumes such as the Shanghai Translation Publishing House 2020 Selected Works, and is the author of One and Only: Memories and the Future of an Autism Spectrum Family, which turns to the lived experience of families on the autism spectrum. Overall, her writing spans literary translation and nonfiction, with accumulated work in both introducing foreign literature and documenting real-world issues.
