Stephen C. Soong (1919-1996) was a prolific writer as well as an active figure in the promotion of translation education and research. To commemorate his contributions in this field, the Stephen C. Soong Translation Studies Awards were set up in 1997 by the Research Centre for Translation, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, with a donation from the Soong family. It gives recognition to academics who have made contribution to original research in Chinese translation studies, particularly in the use of first-hand sources for historical and cultural investigations .
