Zhu Ling was talking with Father Lu, chiming in: "This is what they call life being but a dream, and the world being ever-changing."
"Have both of you elders returned to resume your work?" Feng Qingxue asked.
Zhu Ling had already answered this question to Father Lu, but since Feng Qingxue was not at home then, he repeated, "We haven't fully resumed work. We still have to write regular self-criticism reports and accept supervision. We've returned to be in charge of some translation work for now. After we deeply recognize our own mistakes, the nation will then consider arranging for us to continue our work."
Translation work? Yes, Zhu Ling and Wenyue had studied abroad early on and are renowned contemporary translators, having published many translations of foreign classics. They have a prestigious reputation in the cultural sphere.
Feng Qingxue nodded. She figured that it wouldn't be so easy for the elders to resume their work.
