"Andersen's Circle of Friends and Happiness" became the focus of the theme activity seminar. Zhang Jinjiang, a writer and president of the Shanghai Children's Literature Research and Promotion Society, used facts and evidence to discuss the immortality of Andersen's fairy tale life and the spread of a hundred years in China. The earliest introduction to Hans Christian Andersen dates back to 1909, that is, in March of the first year of Xuanun. The "Fairy Tales" series compiled by the editor Sun Yuxiu was published, including Hans Christian Andersen's "Sea Princess" and "Little Lead Soldier". What really made a difference in the criticism and translation of Hans Christian Andersen and his works was the literary society that was very influential in the history of modern Chinese literature: the Literary Research Society. Representative figures are: Mao Dun, Zheng Zhenduo, Ye Shaojun, Bing Xin, Wang Tongzhao, Yu Pingbo, Zhao Jingchen. An important task of the members of the Cultural Research Association is to translate and introduce foreign fairy tale writers such as Hans Christian Andersen and Wilde. When Zhao Jingchen was in middle school in Tianjin in 1919, he translated some Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales and published them in the "Juvenile Magazine". After 1922, he successively published "Andersen's Commentary", "The Thought of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales", "The Art of Andersen's Fairy Tales", "The Origin and Process of Andersen's Creation of Fairy Tales" and other research on Andersen's literary theories. In his Commentary on Hans Christian Andersen, he summarized two characteristics of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales: closeness to the child's heart and connection with the beauty of nature. Zheng Zhenduo did a lot of work translating and introducing Hans Christian Andersen's works. He wrote "About Hans Christian Andersen and Fairy Tales", and in 1925 he edited the "Novel Monthly" in issues 8 and 9, "Hans Christian Andersen". He proposed that Hans Christian Andersen was the world's greatest fairy tale writer. Mao Dun's early literary activities were also related to the promotion of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, and in 1923 he translated and published the first parts of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Emperor's New Clothes" and Brandt's "Hans Christian Andersen". Since then, Hans Christian Andersen's name and his fairy tales have spread in China. The real translation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales is presented to chinese readers by two other important translators. One is Ye Junjian, who studied European literature at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom in 1944, where the novel "Mountain Village" written in English caused a sensation throughout Europe, he began to translate Andersen's fairy tales from 1946, in order to accurately convey the spirit and characteristics of the original work, he specialized in learning Danish, and went deep into danish folk to familiarize himself with Danish life. In the 1950s, Ye Junjian's translation of The Complete Andersen's Fairy Tales in sixteen volumes was published. He was the first translator in China to translate Hans Christian Andersen's complete works from Danish, and has more than 80 translations of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales around the world, ye Junjian's translation is the best, and he has won the only translator of the "Danish Flag Medal" awarded by the Queen of Denmark. Another translator is Ren Rongrong. In June 1996, The Shanghai Translation Publishing House published his four-volume translation of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales. Ren Rongrong wrote in his postscript: "Hans Christian Andersen can make people read from childhood to old age."
