The second "New Insights" China-France Literature Forum opened Friday at the National Museum of Modern Chinese Literature (NMMCL), attracting readers and writers from both China and France.
Six French writers (most of whom have had their works published in Chinese), experts and over 10 Chinese writers shared their insights on topics ranging from literature and society, family, translations, Internet literature and feminist literature during the two-day session.
Tie Ning, president of the Chinese Writers Association (CWA), said China and France are not only mutually complementary economically, but also influence each other in culture and literature.
"Lots of Chinese writers were influenced by various French writers in different periods," she said.
