Mu Xin(1927-2011), the late Chinese poet and writer, said British poet George Byron was like his brother and praised him as "a hero" and "the strongest voice in human civilization", according to The Memoir of Literature, a book comprising Mu's lectures during his five years' living in New York.

中国当代诗人和作家木心（1927-2011）曾经说，英国诗人拜伦就像他的兄弟一样，还把他称作“一名英雄”，“是人类文明中的最强音”。这些语词出自木心在纽约生活的五年多里讲习汇编而成的《文学回忆录》，毫不掩饰地表达了他对拜伦的偏爱。

陈丹青担任木心美术馆的馆长，也是木心先生多年的弟子，他说道，“依木心老师说，拜伦是一名英雄，就像天空中的太阳，将自己燃烧殆尽。而木心老师本人，一生都在低调中度过，就如月亮一般，在静默中隐忍，于书页间成就英雄。”他将木心先生的文字汇编成《文学回忆录》，以供后世研究。

The book on Mu features four of his lectures on British literature, one of which totally focused on Byron, whom he admired for his independent spirit and passion.

在《文学回忆录》中，有四章是木心先生关于英国文学的演讲，其中更有一章是完全放在了讲述拜伦身上，可见木心对其独立人格和激昂诗情的赞赏。

Alexandra Ault, the lead curator of the British Library in China project, says the Mu Xin Art Museum is a perfect fit for the ongoing exhibition and a "dialogue" between Chinese and British literature.

本次展览的首席策展人亚力山德拉·奥特表示，木心美术馆为本次展出搭建了一个绝佳的平台，使中英两国的文学得以展开一场有趣的“对话”。

Previously, the British Library had exhibited its manuscripts in conjunction with the National Library of China in Beijing, displaying 11 manuscripts by authors including William Shakespeare, Charlotte Bronte and William Wordsworth.

先前，大英图书馆还与北京的国家图书馆联合展出了11件珍贵的作家手稿，包括莎士比亚、夏洛蒂·勃朗特和威廉·华兹华斯等。
