There are new translations of Kalidasa’s works. In 2005, Wu Wenhui translated and edited “A Selected Collection of Kalidasa’s Poems and Plays”, which is published by Sun Yat-sen University Press and contains Chapter 1-7 of *Kumarasambhava*, Chapter 10-15 of *Raghubamsa* and the complete *Malavikagnimitra*. In 2010, China Tibetan Study Press published “*Chinese-Tibetan Translation, Annotation and Study of Kalidasa’s Ritusamhara*”, with Chinese translation and annotation by Luo Hong, a young scholar who is proficient in Sanskrit and Tibetan, and Tibetan translation and annotation by La Xianjia, a Tibetan scholar. This is a combination of the complete Chinese and Tibetan versions of *Ritusamhara*. In 2011, Luo Hong re-translated *Meghaduta*, which is published by Peking University Press. This new translation is a combination of Chinese version and Sanskrit one, providing readers with a more accurate and detailed annotated version, and thus is a good source of reference and academic value. In 2012, Yu Huaijin, a young scholar, obtained a doctorate degree of Peking University through a dissertation on *Kumarasambhava*. She also translated the entire Sanskrit poem and attached it to the dissertation.
