Chinese fiction for children (based on materials of recent years)

Abstract

The block ARCHIVE consists of two articles written in the 1950s and devoted to Chinese literature for children. The authors of these articles are Boris Riftin and Iuri Osipov who were aspiring philologists-Orientalists at that time. Later, B. Riftin became a famous sinologist, a specialist in Chinese and Taiwan literature and folklore, and I. Osipov focused on the Thai language and culture and became the founder of the “Thai school” at the philological faculty of Leningrad (nowadays Saint Petersburg) University.
