--FILE--Chinese author and translator Yang Jiang, the wife of Qian Zhongshu, late Chinese literary scholar and writer, is pictured at an interview at her home in Beijing, China, 18 January 2012. State media say renowned Chinese writer Yang Jiang has died at age 104.

Yang's translation of "Don Quixote" is considered the definitive Chinese version by many.
