Wang Zengqi is a famous Chinese writer, translator and literary critic. His literary achievements and influence are widely recognized. It is understood that Wang Zengqi received a certain degree of English education when he was young, but was not proficient in English.

The reasons why Wang Zengqi failed to learn English well may be due to the following aspects:

Education level and environmental restrictions. Wang Zengqi was born in the early years of the Republic of China. The school education environment and teaching quality were relatively poor, making it difficult to obtain high-quality foreign language education. At the same time, at that time, Chinese society did not attach much importance to foreign languages, and the public's demand and attention for English were not as high as they are today.

Interest preference and major choice. Wang Zengqi has a strong interest and hobby in literature and art. He devotes more to literary writing and translation work rather than English learning. In addition, Wang Zengqi majored in law in college and did not choose English and other related majors, which may also lead to his shortcomings in English learning.

Personal characteristics and life experiences. Wang Zengqi has an open-minded and cheerful personality, and likes making friends and literary creation. Rather than studying English assiduously, he prefers to live freely. At the same time, Wang Zengqi's literary creation was deeply influenced by Chinese culture and life experience. He focused more on expressing Chinese society, people and culture rather than Western culture and ideas.

It should be pointed out that although Wang Zengqi is not proficient in English, his achievements in the fields of literature and translation are huge. He has made important contributions to the exchange and understanding between Chinese and Western cultures. Therefore, we should not only evaluate a person's comprehensive quality and academic achievements from the perspective of language skills, but should pay more attention to personal talents, characteristics and contributions.
