Profile

During his previous studies, Yulun travelled to and experienced Latin American culture. With more studies into intercultural communication, he found his research interest in presenting Latin-American culture to Asian audiences. This led to his current research topic of comparing multilingual translations of “Guerras del Interior” (Zárate, 2019) and doing his translation into Japanese. This research could lead to a further understanding of Asian and Latin American cultures and promote future research into intercultural communication.
