Guanyu Cheng

Guanyu Cheng serves as an Invited Assistant at the Faculty of Human Sciences, Catholic University of Portugal, where he conducts research through the Research Centre for Communication and Culture (CECC). His academic profile centers on bridging Chinese and Portuguese linguistic traditions through rigorous translation scholarship.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Translation Studies, Faculty of Human Sciences, Catholic University of Portugal (2021)
• Master in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, Tianjin Foreign Studies University (2015)
• Bachelor in Portuguese Language and Culture, Tianjin Foreign Studies University (2012)

Cheng's research specializes in the translation of contemporary Chinese literature into Portuguese, with particular focus on indirect translation mechanisms and cultural transfer. His work examines how Chinese literary concepts navigate Portuguese linguistic frameworks, emphasizing Mo Yan's works and pandemic-era news translation. This intersects Linguistics, Cultural Studies, and Comparative Literature through empirical analysis of translation choices and reception patterns.

His publication record demonstrates concentrated expertise in Chinese-Portuguese literary translation, particularly through his 2018 working paper analyzing 'Chronicle of a Blood Seller' and doctoral thesis on Mo Yan's indirect translation. These works establish consistent methodology examining source-text fidelity versus cultural adaptation in cross-linguistic contexts.

No scientific awards are documented in available records.

Cheng has co-supervised two Master's dissertations, indicating emerging mentorship capacity. His academic service includes chairing the World Chinese-Portuguese Translation Competition (2022-2024) and presenting at nine research activities since 2017, though specific grant funding isn't referenced.

As an active CECC member, Cheng contributes to this interdisciplinary research hub focused on communication dynamics within Lusophone and Sinophone cultural spheres, particularly through translation-mediated knowledge exchange.
