Qin Sanshu, born in 1991, is a Chinese poet and translator who has long been engaged in translating and introducing contemporary French poetry. In Chinese poetry circles he is both a writer and an important intermediary who brings Francophone poetry to Chinese-language readers; his translation and creative work echo each other, reflecting a dual attention to language and poetic craft. The library holds one work by him, Still Together, classified under literature. Owing to limited public information, details of his life and full body of work cannot be expanded here, but the available information shows that his writing and translation center on the sense of language, rhythm, and spiritual character of contemporary poetry, with attention to preserving the sonic texture and intellectual density of the original in Chinese. For readers he offers a window onto contemporary French poetry, while his own poems take part in the current scene of Chinese-language poetry, sustaining a careful and continuous exploration between creation and translation.
