Yilin Wang had translated passages from a Chinese revolutionary which were used in the China’s Hidden Century exhibition
The British Museum has offered to pay a writer for her work after she alleged her poetry translations had been “plagiarised” in a landmark exhibition.
Earlier this week, the museum removed a segment of its China’s Hidden Century exhibition after Yilin Wang said she did not receive any credit or reimbursement for her translations of the work of Qiu Jin, a Chinese revolutionary.
