魏易

Public information about Wei Yi is limited: dates of birth and death, nationality and educational background are not clearly documented, and what can be confirmed is that nine works appear under this name. Judging from the works in the database, Wei Yi is closely associated with the Lin Shu translations, having compiled or edited renditions such as Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Lady of the Camellias-type Jo's story, Ivanhoe, David Copperfield and The Snake Lady, as well as old translations of Sherlock Holmes stories including the opening case. These works span foreign literature, social fiction and detective fiction. A further title, the 2021 Chinese Education Finance Household Survey Report, shows an interest in education as well. His output consists mainly of translations and the editing of older translations, preserving the language of the original period and offering readable texts for understanding the modern Chinese reception of foreign literature.
