Tsiu Ing-sing

Tsiu Ing-sing is a Taiwanese amateur translator and businessman known for completing the first full Taiwanese translation of George Orwell's dystopian classic 'Nineteen Eighty-Four.' With over a decade of experience in translation and a background as an English-language reporter and editor, Tsiu has been actively promoting the use of Taiwanese in cultural contexts. His translation project, which took four years to complete, reflects his dedication to normalizing Taiwanese literature and making it accessible to a broader audience, especially the younger generation. Tsiu's work is particularly significant given the current political climate in Taiwan, where themes of surveillance and totalitarianism resonate strongly.
