For example, Chang Ta-chun rejects the idea that My Kid Sister and Wild Child are representative of his oeuvre. These were selected for translation mainly because the themes were more comprehensible to a foreign audience. "My other works," he explains, "are about events or are set against backdrops peculiar to China or Taiwan, and wouldn't be easy to translate, much less be accessible to most American readers."
張大春指出，《我妹妹》、《野孩子》並非他的代表作，選擇這兩本書翻譯成英文，主要是題材、內容的考量，「因為其他作品有特殊的中國或台灣事件、背景，不是那麼容易翻譯，美國讀者也比較不容易接受。」
