Abstract: Starting from the 1980s, a large number of works by Russian female writers have been translated into Chinese. The translation of G. Yakhina's work "Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes" appeared in China in 2017, and the translation of the novel "My Children" was published in 2020. At the same time, the number of research outputs on G. Yakhina's creative work has increased. The aim of the study is to analyze the perception of G. Yakhina's work in Chinese criticism and literary studies. An attempt is made to determine the reasons for the attention of Chinese researchers to the writer's works. Articles written from 2015 onwards are examined, noting a significant increase in scholarly works since 2019, including dissertation research. The main subject of the study is the specificity of the interpretation of G. Yakhina's novels ("Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes," "My Children") by Chinese scholars. The methodology includes the systematization of data from the CNKI platform, comparative analysis of the approaches of Russian and Chinese researchers, as well as the application of interdisciplinary methods. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is the first time the interpretation of G. Yakhina's work in China is considered in light of the specifics and directions of Chinese research. Based on a selection of 38 works by Chinese scholars, the article analyzes the trend of studying G. Yakhina's work in Chinese literary studies, focusing the research attention on the issue of the relationship between the work of Russian and Chinese literary scholars. It concludes that interest in the writer's work is growing in China, which is due both to the depth of her works and to the development of methodologies in Chinese studies. The main directions of analysis include: the specifics of translation and representation of G. Yakhina's works, the reflection of feminist ideas, the system of images, motifs, narrative strategies, psychological aspects (including Freudian psychoanalysis), and chronotope.
