From "Bildungsroman" to "World Classic Fairy Tale": The Translation and Reception of "Bambi" in Modern China

Abstract

The translation and reception of "Bambi" in modern China have transformed a "Bildungsroman" into a "World Classic Fairy Tale." In different historical periods of modern China, "Bambi" has played roles in "Bildung education", "inspiring national spirit", and "projecting ideals of love and peace". With changes in historical contexts and the adaption of the film, "Bambi" has ultimately been shaped into a world classic fairy tale and widely accepted.
