Help with short translation

[Marco77]

Hello all,

Here I am again, stuck on a sentence. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

"By mid 1950's Wang had already published various pieces of fictional literature, but in 1957 he was labelled a rightist, as a result he was sent to Xinjiang province, in Chinas's northwest."

The underlined bits are the causes of my headache!

Thank you

Marco

I'm no professional translator. But let me give a try.

"By mid 1950's Wang had already published various pieces of fictional literature, but in 1957 he was labelled a rightist, as a result he was sent to Xinjiang province, in Chinas's northwest."

到五十年代中期，王已经出版了各式题材的小说，但在1957年他被打为右派，并因此下放到中国西北的新疆省。

打为右派 and 下放 are a little special words particularly used for that history time.

Not very good, but I think the sentence is quite clear.

Hi Outofin

thank you for the translation, it sounds pretty good to me! It's so difficult to get a translation for political terms such as "rightist".
