As a multi-ethnic country, minority literature plays a significant role in presenting compelling stories of China and spreading Chinese culture. Wang Hua is one of the female writers of the Gelao ethnicity in Guizhou. Her works help to show local stories and spread the culture of ethnic minorities to China and the world. Based on Mona Baker’s narrative approach, this thesis explores the reconstructed story by analyzing three major translation strategies adopted in The Two Sisters——selective appropriation of textual material, framing by labeling and repositioning of participants. This study aims to explore the theories and methods of framing narratives in translation practice, which may provide some reference for the overseas publicity of ethnic minority literature and culture.
