Stephen C. Soong Translation Studies
Memorial Awards

Stephen C. Soong (1919–1996) was a prolific writer and translator, as well
as an active figure in the promotion of translation education and
research. To commemorate his contributions in this field, the Stephen C.
Soong Translation Studies Memorial Awards were set up in 1997 by RCT, with
a generous donation from the Soong family. They give recognition to
academics who have made contributions to original research in Chinese
Translation Studies, particularly in the use of first-hand materials for
historical and cultural investigations.
