In 1928, Fu Lei went to France for three years to study the theories of literature and art at the University of Paris. He later translated French works of literature and philosophy-such as those by Honore de Balzac, Roman Rolland and Francois Voltaire-into Chinese, exerting great influence on generations of Chinese readers and writers.

The Prix Fu Lei has established its place in the publishing industry in China, where translators have not been properly recognized, says Dong Qiang, president of the prize's organizing committee.

"Without translators' diligent work, it is impossible for us to understand the world to such an extent. Also, it is thanks to the translators who opened the window for us to see what's going on in the outside world that China's reform and opening-up has been able to realize its many significant achievements."
