Yang Jiang，the famous woman writer and translator is well-known to us all．
She was born in Beijing in 1911．originally named Yang Jikang．As a baby she liked laughing．Her parents let every daughter develop their character freely．which is rare at that time and even at present．Jikang，therefore，had a happy childhood in the 1920s．
She graduated from university and went to Tsinghua University as a postgraduate(研究生)in the 1930s．There she met Qian Zhongshu：they fell in love and married．
In the l940s，she started to use the name Yang Jiang as her pen name．Since then she was commonly known as Madam Yang Jiang．
In the l950s，she worked for Peking University，and started to learn Spanish．She was the first to translateDon Quixote《堂吉诃德》)into Chinese．
She began to write short novels in the 1980s．The novel TheOld Wang(《老王》)written in 1984 was selected as the passage in our middle school text book．
Besides，her famous worksAfter Baptism(《洗澡之后》)andWe Three(《我们仨》)also became a household name in China．
Sorry to hear that Madam Yang died at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing，on May25，2016．
Such was Madam Yang，the best wife and the most talented woman!Her legend is still continuing!
