Not long ago, the 2025 China International Network Literature Week with the theme of "New Power, New Pattern, and New Form - Global Landscape of Online Literature Empowered by AI" was held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The "International Communication Report on Chinese Online Literature (2025)" released at the event shows that there are about 200 million active users of Chinese online literature overseas, covering more than 200 countries and regions. South Korea has accumulated a huge fan base for Chinese online literature, and now Chinese online literature can be read through local online platforms. Novels with themes such as martial arts and immortal heroes have extremely high popularity. ”Through this event, I have deeply felt the increasingly perfect overseas dissemination system of Chinese online literature. As a translator, I hope to convey the culture of different regions in China to Korea, "said Korean translator Park Geun hye." By the end of 2024, the total number of works has exceeded 33 million; The diverse development of themes such as reality and science fiction... The high-quality and rich content is the solid foundation for Chinese online literature to go global. One of the important engines for online literature to go global is the rapidly developing artificial intelligence technology, and online translation has become the main way of overseas dissemination. Many Chinese online literature platforms have set up overseas sites to achieve online translation, allowing global fans to "follow updates" in real time. Faced with a massive amount of Chinese online literature, I often have 'difficulty in choosing'. So I used artificial intelligence to select reading content. Charles Dewey, co-founder of France's Yuanqi Reading, has' sweet troubles'. With the help of artificial intelligence, readers can personalize their selection of works using technologies such as semantic recognition and user preference modeling. Spanish writer Salvador Santa Puche introduced that readers in the Spanish speaking world are very interested in the fantasy and adventure stories of Chinese online literature, and hope to have a Spanish reading platform for Chinese online literature to provide high-quality works for more readers. In 2024, the overseas market revenue of China's online literature industry will reach 4.815 billion yuan. Asia is the most stable market for Chinese online literature, with approximately 80% of the global readership and a market share exceeding half of the global total. The web adapted TV drama "Si Teng" has been praised as the "elegant beauty of the East" due to its unique Chinese scenery and Hanfu style; The Dunhuang elements integrated into the TV drama "Long Moon Ashes" adapted from online literature continue to gain popularity on Thai platforms... "Chinese online literature has achieved ecological globalization," said He Hong, director of the Network Literature Center of the China Writers Association. In the early days, online literature mainly focused on text translation, but now it has evolved into IP multi terminal linkage - the construction of film and television adaptations, Sino foreign co productions, and overseas localization creation ecology, forming a new landscape of global cultural consumption. Domestic platforms actively layout the overseas micro drama market, opening up new channels for online literature to go global. The development of Chinese technology continues to push Chinese online literature towards the world. Movies, web dramas, and games are all great tools for promoting Chinese literature to go global, "said Italian sinologist and translator Lisa. Another noteworthy aspect is the migration of business models. Chinese online literature platforms have successfully transplanted paid reading, author signing, and platform operation models overseas, actively attracting local authors to create. British youth Calvin started creating at Qidian International, blending Western and Eastern cultural elements. Like him, an increasing number of overseas online writers are becoming bridges connecting Chinese and Western cultures. At present, the number of overseas local authors of online literature has reached 1.3 million, and the number of overseas local creative works has exceeded 2 million. The overseas creative ecology has reached a scale. (New Society)
