Fan Yi was greatly interested in observing birds ever since she was a little girl. In Hanmilton, New York, where she lives, she often watches kingfishers and woodpeckers flying o
26、ver her house from the small woods nearby. And the inspiration for writing the book Swordbird actually came from one of her dreams. At that time, she was studying American history in school and happened to read many articles in magazines about the 911 terrorist attacks. One day, she had a dream in w
27、hich some rosefinches and bluejays were controlled by some black birds and began to fight with each other. When she woke up, she decided to turn her dream into a story and to convey her message for peace to the public. In order to get her book published in China, Fan translated the entire English ve
28、rsion into Chinese. “It is a learning process. Since I didnt know many Chinese idioms, I had to get help from my mom and dad from time to time. For another thing, a lot of poems in the original story are written in rhyme. So when I translated them into Chinese, I wanted to make sure that they were i
29、n rhyme, too,” she said. Fan Yi was born in Beijing in 1993. She stayed in Beijing until she finished her first grade of primary school. Then she moved with her parents to the United States when she was seven. Two years later, she started to write her English story. In March, this year, the book was
30、 published by Harper Collins Publishers. It was selected as the weeks bestseller of childrens fiction by the New York Times soon after it was published.
