For Xu Yuanchong, a well-known Chinese translator and the first Asian winner of the world's highest prize for translation, the Aurora Borealis Prize, age is really just a number. Turning 100 on April 18, the distinguished translator has one ambition still to fulfill – to write The 100-Year-Old Dream that tells the story of his own. In an exclusive interview with CGTN, Xu shares his translated version of a famous poem by the late Chinese leader Mao Zedong titled "Tune: Charm of a Maiden Singer – Mount Kunlun." Stay tuned for more about Xu Yuanchong in the coming days!
