Features: Translating classic works is a thankless task, but why do so many people still enjoy doing it? I believe it's because every classic book contains rich and profound life experiences and wisdom. During the arduous process of translation, the dialogue and communication with the original author are far deeper and broader than in general reading. Translation requires researching numerous background materials and documents related to the author and their work, which is an excellent learning opportunity. Therefore, translating a classic book is like taking a semester or even a year-long course filled with exciting and high-quality content. It is the best way for us to improve our knowledge and absorb wisdom, gradually drawing closer to the masters. — He Qinhua: Preface to the Chinese Translation of "War and Peace Law"
Whenever I am alone and quiet, I often ponder a question: What is the most powerful force in the world? I think it is neither machine guns, cannons, atomic bombs, or hydrogen bombs, nor volcanoes, earthquakes, typhoons, or tsunamis. Instead, it is time. Time can turn a beautiful young woman into an elderly woman with white hair and a hunched back, can turn a great and ambitious leader into a heap of dust, and can transform mountains into seas and deserts into fertile fields. However, there is one thing in the world that can defeat time—love. Whether it is the love between lovers, the love between parents and children, or the love for one's career, people, country, or even all of humanity, it is eternal. It can transcend time, break free from its, and endure forever. — He Qinhua: Preface to the Chinese Translation of "War and Peace Law"
