A glimpse into the turbulent social changes at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, and the role of translation in it that cannot be ignored. Based on the outstanding contributions made by Liang Qichao, Yan Fu and Lin Shu, the author proposed for the first time that they should be called the "three masters" of the translation world of that period. Liang Qichao was listed at the top of the list; Although he was the youngest and translated the fewest works, he played the greatest role in establishing the Datong Translation and Book Company to cultivate translation talents and influence the translation career through politics.

With a total of more than 600,000 words, the History of Chinese Translation in the 20th Century is the only historical book that narrates the process of translation in China in the 20th century.

After the May Fourth Movement, Chinese history entered the modern era, and the importance of translation was far ahead of ancient times. The rise of new Chinese literature is inseparable from translation.
