To all my readers and supporters on Wattpad, Threads, and other platforms,
First of all, thank you so much for reading my stories and supporting my work as an author. It truly makes me happy to know that my stories have reached people from different places and have brought enjoyment to many readers.
However, I would like to address something that recently disappointed me. Last month, someone posted on my Wattpad wall asking about translating one of my stories. Due to my busy work schedule and limited time to check my social media accounts, I was only able to reply a few days. Unfortunately, after checking Weibo, I discovered that the story had already been translated and shared without my permission, without any further coordination, and without a response to my reply.
Please understand that I am not against people translating my work. In fact, I am honored that readers want to share my stories with others. My stories are available for everyone to enjoy, and I know they can bring happiness to readers despite their imperfections and occasional flaws.
What saddened me was not the translation itself, but the lack of respect and communication. As authors, we put our time, effort, emotions, and creativity into our work. The least we ask for is the courtesy of being consulted and having our permission requested before our work is translated or shared in another language. ++ (continuation)
