Cannot avoid thinking that if this gem took 25 years to be translated to Chinese, what other amazing pieces of literature from China we are missing right now.

Apparently, they sold over a million copies of 'pirated' book in china before the official translation and release. Not sure if the pirated was translated by whom ?

I agree on your second point. We should be missing whole lot of literature due to the issues related to translations. I, can vouch for Indian Languages. The complicated scripts make it harder for others to learn this, to begin with, before thinking about translating.
