Abstract

Robert Burns never came to China, never read about China, nor wrote about China. But he is known almost by every cultured person in China. It is the Chinese writers and translators who introduced him to China. His poems played different significant roles in different periods during critical years. His love poems helped him enter China; his patriotic poems encouraged Chinese youth to fight for the country's freedom and independence; his folk-song style set example for young Chinese poets to follow; his love for people won the heart of Chinese readers.
