ABSTRACT

In recent years, the Northeast China has continued to produce high-quality works, ranging from short plays and drama to literature and art. Creators from there have continuously surprised people with their creativity, creating a cultural boom. Among them, Shuang Xuetao's works have been published in multiple languages. This article uses the readability analysis tool Readability Analyzer 2.0 to explore the readability of the translation by Jeremy Tiang's work—Rouge Street, assesses the language proficiency required by readers, and provides experience for the overseas dissemination of new Northeastern literature, helping to revitalize the Northeast.
