Renowned Chinese writer Lu Min visited Budapest, Hungary, on Oct 22 to attend a literary exchange activity at Pázmány Péter Catholic University.

Lu delivered a speech titled Contemporary China in the "Viewfinder" of Literature Three Faces Examined Through Novels to talk about her experience, literary creation, and the translation of her works.

She discussed the first face through The Undelivered Love, which is about the trauma left by crackdowns on serious criminal activities on two families and their healing, unveiled the second face by the jobless in The Dinner of Six, which shows how the laid-off Chinese workers to start over, and depicted the third face via small business owners in Golden River who can best represent the strained and tricky relationship between Chinese people and money.

During the activity, Phoenix Publishing and Media Group and Kocsis Kiadó, a Hungary-based publishing house, inked a cooperation agreement to publish the Hungarian version of Lu's novel Dinner of Six.

The activity was jointly organized by the Center for Contemporary East Asian Studies at Pázmány Péter Catholic University, Hungarian-Chinese Friendship Association, and the Contemporary Chinese Literature Book Club in Hungary.
