The late author Qian Zhongshu is best known for his satirical novel Fortress Besieged.
Qian's scholastic works, however, are sometimes difficult to follow because of the classical references.
Duncan Campbell, 61, a China scholar from New Zealand, is one person who has tried to take Qian to the world over the past 30 years by translating his writings.
