Compiled by scholar Angel Pino and published by You-feng, this extensive reference work maps the complex history of cultural exchange between the Chinese-speaking world and France. By documenting publications from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and global diasporic communities, the volume captures the remarkable breadth of modern Chinese writing. It encompasses multiple literary genres, including works published as standalone books as well as texts scattered across diverse journals and anthologies over more than a century of translation activity.

This bibliographic guide serves as an essential resource for researchers, translators, comparative literature scholars, and anyone interested in the circulation of Asian literature in the French-speaking world. It helps readers navigate the evolving landscape of translated fiction and poetry from the late Qing dynasty onward. Scholars of modern literature, Asian studies, and translation history will find it particularly useful for tracking the reception of major figures alongside lesser-known writers from various ideological periods.
