Dr. Dong Zhang was born in Jinan, Shandong, P.R. China, in 1987. He pursued his higher education at Wuhan University, where he completed his doctoral degree in Literature. His academic journey was shaped by a strong interest in Russian literary rhetoric and discourse analysis, fields in which he would later make significant contributions. His early focus on corpus linguistics and translation theory laid the foundation for his comprehensive work in literature and linguistics.

Currently a lecturer at Wuhan University, Dr. Zhang has established himself as a key figure in his department. His teaching primarily revolves around Russian literature and linguistics, with a special emphasis on translation theory and literary rhetoric. He has authored several notable books, including Translation Theory (2022, Wuhan University Press), Russian Grammar (2023, Harbin Institute of Technology Press), and Modern Russian (2023, Liaoning University Press). His professional endeavors continue to extend beyond the classroom, as he engages in various research projects and collaborations.

Dr. Zhang’s research interests are diverse, spanning Russian literary rhetoric, discourse analysis, and translation theory. His contributions to corpus linguistics have been particularly influential in analyzing Russian literature. In recent years, he has delved into topics such as the “New Realism” literary school in Russia, the application of particle swarm optimization in modern literature, and the use of ecological discourse analysis in educational texts. His paper Ecological Discourse Analysis of Russian Educational Texts Based on the Transitivity System (September 2024, Cogent Arts & Humanities) reflects his innovative approach to blending linguistic theory with educational research.

Dr. Zhang’s research has had a considerable impact on both the academic community and practical applications. His work on the origins and development of Russian “New Realism” has shed new light on this significant literary movement, influencing how scholars perceive its evolution. Furthermore, his exploration of psychological education through the lens of Chinese and Russian literature, as presented in his paper Academic Progress of Chinese and Russian Literature Research from the Perspective of Psychological Education (December 2023, International Journal of Mental Health Nursing), has opened new avenues for interdisciplinary study.

Dr. Zhang’s papers have garnered citations in various academic publications, particularly in fields related to literature, education, and psychology. His innovative approaches, such as using particle swarm optimization in literature studies, have been referenced in works exploring the intersection of technology and the humanities. His interdisciplinary research continues to be a valuable resource for scholars interested in blending literature with computational and psychological methodologies.

Dr. Zhang’s legacy is being shaped by his ability to merge traditional literary analysis with modern technological and linguistic methods. His ongoing research in Russian discourse and ecological linguistics is expected to further contribute to academic advancements in these areas.
