About the author

He Yujia is a Chinese translator active in the publishing world, best known for rendering foreign literature and nonfiction into Chinese. Public information about her is limited, and details such as her nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not available. Judging from the thirteen works recorded in the catalog, her translations cover a wide range: medical-humanist nonfiction such as When Breath Becomes Air; essay collections on Chinese food and culinary culture, including Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper, Invitation to a Banquet, and a collection of Fuschia Dunlop's food writing; and nonfiction on urban change such as Farewell to Old Beijing. She has also translated a selection of Mark Twain's short stories and the birdwatching narrative The Big Year. Her translations read naturally and fluently, paying attention to preserving the tone and detail of the originals, and she is particularly familiar to readers in the fields of food writing and literary nonfiction.
