PhD student has novel published

PhD student in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, Dan Yu (English name Echo), has had a novel published in Germany.  The story, Farewell Chopin, is part of a selection of contemporary Chinese novellas with cross cultural meanings.  The stories have been translated into German for this edition, which also features the original Mandarin versions.

As a Christian writer, Dan Yu likes to focus on expressing the power of God's forgiveness and redemption through the arts, using the language of music in this novel.  She has had several books published in China and Hong Kong, but this is the first time her stories have been printed in the west.
