In August 1935, Zheng Zhenduo's "Shilu World Library" began to serialize Li Jiye's complete translation of "The Autobiography of Jane Eyre", and the novel began to meet Chinese readers in a complete image.

In the same year, the Commercial Press published Wu Guangjian's translation of The Orphan Girl from the English version. In the 50s and 70s of the 20th century, the book was listed as a banned book, and the translation was in a state of depression.

After the 80s, literary translation picked up, and Chinese translations of Jane Eyre began to emerge in large numbers.

Evaluation: The work of a great genius. —William Meck Biss Thackeray

So we turn the pages of Jane Eyre and take us by the hand, forcing us to follow the path he has taken, so that we can see what she sees, and she will not leave us for a moment, nor will we forget her presence.

At the end of all, we are soaked in Charlotte Brontë's talent, passion and indignation, and it is the red, flickering flame of her heart that lights up her pages. —Virginia Woolf

One of the guardians of the Demon Warrior - Anne Brontë

Anne Brontë (January 17, 1820 – May 28, 1849), a 19th-century English novelist and poet, was one of the three famous Brontë sisters in the history of English literature.

Anne Brontë and Emily Brontë created the fictional nation of Gondal as a teenager, wrote poems on its subject, and later began to express her inner feelings in poetry.

In 1846, he published a collection of poems with his two sisters, Charlotte Brontë and Emily Brontë. She went out twice to work as a governess and wrote the novel "Agnes Gray" based on her personal experience. The novel truthfully reflects the society's indifference and injustice to the group of governesses, and calls for improving the status of governesses and paying attention to children's early education.

In 1848, Anne's second novel, The Tenant of Wildfield Manor, was published, which uses a dual narrative structure to tell the story of a husband who is trying to get rid of alcoholism and a wife who lives independently by painting, which touches on the independence of women, the vices of alcoholism, debauchery, domestic violence, and the bad influence of parents on children.

In 1849, Anne died of tuberculosis at the age of 29. For a variety of reasons. She was far less famous in later generations than Charlotte Brontë for "Cherished" and Emily Brontë for "Roaring Hills". Almost forgotten.

Today's researchers believe that Anne should not be seen only as Charlotte and Emily's little sister, who occupies her own unique place in the history of literature

Anne Brontë was born on 17 January 1820 in the Brontë family's home at 74 Market Street, Thornton, West Yorkshire, for two adults, six children, two servants and a nurse. There is almost no place to stand.

After Pastor Brontë wrote letters everywhere to find a job. He was ordained resident parish priest in Haworth, seven miles away. Compared to Thornton. Haworth is more prosperous, with five bedrooms in the parish's residence, which is far more spacious than before.

But Haworth lacked a drainage system. The drinking water is heavily contaminated, the average life expectancy is only 25 years, and the window of the priest's house looks out of the church cemetery where many children have died young.

When the Brontë family moved to Haworth, Maria had already been diagnosed with cancer, and Maria's sister Elizabeth Branwell came to Haworth to help the parish minister take care of Maria.

On September 15, 1821, Maria died. Soon after, Reverend Brontë, recovering from his grief, continued to take charge of the parish.

At the end of the year, he visited a friend's house, and Maria's friend Elizabeth Foss expressed sympathy and comfort to him, and the priest then proposed to him, hoping to find a stepmother for his six children, but was refused.

Aunt Elisabeth, who came to take care of Maria, stayed at the residence to raise her six children. As their six children grew up, Maria and Elizabeth, who were already able to take care of themselves, would do their best to help their aunt with household chores, while the youngest, Anne, became Aunt Elizabeth's darling, and the two always shared a room.

Anne grew up frail and sickly, and later recalled in her autobiographical poem that her deepest childhood impression was that she felt "helpless, thin, full of unwarranted fear, simple, deceitful, believing everything she heard."

When Anne was four years old, the Rev. Brontë asked her, "What do you want most as a child?" to which Anne replied, "age and experience." Growing up, Aunt Elizabeth's devout Methodist beliefs were heavily influenced, while the Brontës' new maid, Tybe Eyckroyd, introduced the children with a wealth of "Irish mythology and northern English village legends"

In the summer of 1825, Maria and Elizabeth, who had gone to school, fell ill and died, and the family fell into grief and pain. Pastor Brontë no longer dared to send his children out of the country, so he educated his children at home.

He encouraged the children to read more, and Aunt Elizabeth wanted the girls to learn more about housekeeping, so the children borrowed books from the Keighley Library, four miles away, at a fixed time every day, and ran back with heavy books on their backs.

In June 1826, the Rev. Brontë gave a gift to a group of toy soldiers from Brownwell, which sparked the imagination of the children, who gave the soldiers names and arranged their personalities. Charlotte recalls that Anne chose a little soldier who was "much like herself", calling it "the boy who waited".

In the years that followed, several children started with these soldiers and created a fictional African country called Anglia. Charlotte and Branwell wrote poems in the tone of Anglian characters, and wrote Anglia's chronicles with mixed authenticity, but it is difficult to figure out how much Anne, who was not yet ten years old, played a role in the construction of Anglia.

As she grew older, Anne also studied Latin, French, music, and fine arts with the local clergy. Her family's collection of books such as Edmund Burke's aesthetic writings, John Milton's Paradise Lost, Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, and Aunt Elizabeth's Methodist magazines all influenced her.

In the summer of 1832, Reverend Brontë founded an Anglican Sunday school in the area, where the children were to be teachers on a rotating basis, and Branwell was described as "utterly impatient" and Anne was considered "the kindest-looking, but the most rigorous in teaching."

Charlotte, who had attended Rohyde's school for a year, went home for a vacation, and she recalls that one of the things she would do when she returned was to make tea to the delight of Anne and Emily, who were tired of teaching.

In 1833, Charlotte's friend Alan Nussi visited Haworth, and she wrote: "Anne, lovely and quiet Anne, her beautiful pale brown hair curled around her neck, a pair of charming blue-purple eyes, carefully painted eyebrows, and a fair face like transparent jade. 」

"Anne and Emily are like twins, inseparable companions, like-minded and consistent."

"Like twins", Anne and Emily often wrote illustrated journals together, and in 1834 Emily mentioned the name "Gondal" for the first time.

Gondal is a fictional country created by Emily and Anne together, and is a neighbor of Anglia. The scenery of Gondal is mostly based on the heather wilderness that dots West Yorkshire, and the wars, alliances, and loans that occurred with its neighbors were based on the political situation of the time.

Emily and Anne imagined themselves as characters in Gondal and wrote many poems and narrative fragments. Emily, who has a strong personality, dominates, and Anne shows obedience to her sister, but sometimes feels that no one understands her.

In October 1835, after Emily returned home after she was not accustomed to school life, Anne took over from her at Rohyde School, the first time she left home at the age of fifteen. (To be continued......)
