Zhu Shenghao has translated many works, the most famous of which is "Shakespeare's Dramas". The translation of this work is a document of its time. Zhu Shenghao was talented and intelligent since he was a child, but his family was poor. Reading made him stand out, and he completed college with only a scholarship. During his college years, he was a talented person in the eyes of all his classmates and teachers, and his love for literature was unparalleled. During his college years, Zhu Shenghao wrote many poems and was also very talented in poetry creation. But after Zhu Shenghao came into contact with "Shakespeare's Dramas" at the age of 20, he became crazy about it, gave up writing poetry, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to translation.
After graduation, I went to Shanghai World Bookstore to work as an English editor. During this period, he translated many Shakespeare's works, such as "The Merchant of Venice", "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and so on. Zhu Shenghao's translation is based on painstaking and repeated research on Shakespeare's mood and emotions. It is basically divorced from the spirit of the original work. The translated words are used after repeated consideration. No one who can do this kind of translation can surpass Zhu Shenghao from ancient times to the present. When translating Zhu Shenghao's Shakespeare works, a script needs to be read more than ten times before being translated, otherwise Zhu Shenghao will not translate the work easily.
Zhu Shenghao has strong perseverance. Ever since he chose Shakespeare's works, he never said he would give up. He is willing to use his more than 20 years to complete such a major event and leave precious translations of Zhu Shenghao to future generations. This is also the pride of the Chinese people.

Zhu Shenghao and Song Qingru

Time flies so fast! When falling in love, two people basically stay together and stay away from each other. For ten years, they basically communicated and maintained their relationship through letters. Before Song Qingru left, he gave a pen to Zhu Shenghao. Zhu Shenghao cherished it very much and used it to translate the stunning work "The Complete Works of Shakespeare" and more than 500 love letters to Song Qingru.
Just like Zhu Shenghao lost his previous translation due to the war and needed to be re-translated. In this dilemma, Song Qingru appeared in front of him and came to his side. Song Qingru boldly went from Shanghai to Chongqing for love. They ended their ten-year relationship and got married. This period of time is both sad and happy for Zhu Shenghao. After getting married, they became an ordinary couple. Song Qingru was in charge of all the food, rice, oil and salt at home, and Zhu Shenghao continued to complete his translation. However, fate always likes to play tricks on people. Life for the two of them was relatively tight after marriage, and Zhu Shenghao's health was indeed damaged by working day and night.
Zhu Shenghao couldn't bear the pain. In the end, five and a half Shakespeare's plays remained untranslated, leaving Song Qingru and his son, who was less than one year old, to die. Of course, the love between the two will not end because of life and death. Song Qingru continued to help Zhu Shenghao fulfill his last wish and published Zhu Shenghao's translation of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare".
