Contemporary Chinese literature has attracted Indian Sinologists’ attention. Shu Ting’s poetry, Chen Rong’s medium-length novel *At Middle Age*, Chen Jiangong’s *Phoenix Eye*, Ma Laqinfu’s *Living Buddha* have been translated into Hindi or Bengali, and gained popularity among readers. Besides translating Lu Xun’ poems, Priyadarsi Mukherji translated and published Contemporary Chinese Poetry (Hindi, 1998), which includes 54 poems of 27 poets, and Poems and Fables of Ai Qing (Bengali, 2000), which includes 86 poems and four fables. *The Complete Poems of Mao Tse-tung and the Literary Analysis* (2012) published by Priyadarsi Mukherji recently included 95 of Mao Tse-tung’s poems. It was the first time that Mao Tse-tung’s poems have been fully translated into Bengali. While translating Chinese literary works, those Indian scholars also have conducted in-depth and broad studies, and played a vital role in circulating Chinese literature in India.
