Abstract<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/strong> This article focuses on the study of the earliest translations of M. Y.\u00a0Lermontov\u2019s works into Chinese at the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century. The issues of the first translations of M. Y Lermontov\u2019s works in China have already\u00a0been raised in literary studies. However, during the research process, discrepancies were discovered between the positions of Russian and Chinese scholars. This article examines two of the earliest translations of Lermontov\u2019s works: the novella Bela<\/em> (translated via an intermediary language), titled Yin Niu Bei<\/em> (\u94f6\u94ae\u7891,1907) and the poem Three Palm Trees<\/em> (1909), translated by the sinologist V. M. Alekseev in collaboration with Wang Anlan (\u738b\u5b89\u6f9c) and Liu Daben (\u5218\u5927\u672c). The article also raises the question of the early origins of Lermontov studies in China.<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nKeywords<\/em><\/strong>:<\/em><\/strong> Bela<\/em>, V. M.
