When the second Beijing Documentary Week kicked off at the China Millennium Monument last week, 97-year-old translator Xu Yuanchong arrived in a wheelchair.
As the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis prize, the world's highest honor in the field of translation, Xu is the "protagonist" of My Legacy and I: Xu Yuanchong, a documentary that opened the annual event.
The documentary is part of the 10-episode TV series My Legacy and I, which recounts stories of 10 celebrities, including actor Pu Cunxin, dancer Yang Liping, artist Cai Guoqiang and Demos Chiang, a great grandson of former Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek.
