After graduating from St. John's University, Shanghai with a degree in English in 1946, Dong was hired by Xinhua News Agency as one of the first news translators in the country.
Dong translated The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer shortly after it was first published in English.
Dong was accused of being a "Rightist" during the Anti-Rightist Campaign in 1957.
He was persecuted again during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976).
Nonetheless, he was well received by the Chinese literati.
In the 1970s, he also translated The Glory and the Dream by William Manchester and Red Star Over China by Edgar Snow, alongside several other historical works.
