The Chinese language and literature program equips students to work with diverse Chinese texts and engage in sophisticated communication across various subjects, offering comprehensive courses in both modern and classical Chinese. The literature component highlights key works from China's rich literary heritage, presented in English translations - ranging from ancient texts like The Book of Odes to Tang and Song dynasty poetry, renowned novels such as Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber, and contemporary pieces including Mao Dun's Rainbow, Eileen Chang's Love in a Fallen City, and Yu Hua's To Live. By immersing students in language and literary studies, the program cultivates cultural understanding, analytical skills, and language mastery. Additionally, students have opportunities to showcase their acquired expertise through literary translation projects into English.
