Over 60 years of dedication, Xu devoted himself to translation for more than 60 years. For him, translated literature is "a beautiful art for the whole world."

Xu was the first Chinese to translate Chinese poetry into English and French in rhyme. "The greatest joy of an individual is to be with the people you like and do what you like to do.
