Excerpts from some of the reviews:

Scholar Yi Zhongtian :

The Noise and the Tumult is a canon of 20th-century literature. Jihong's new translation creatively brings a completely different new understanding and interpretation to this scripture. Only those who have truly read and understood literary texts such as "The Noise and the Commotion" can be said to be believers in literature.

Then, the imitation made us come together because we read this book together and began to pray for the purity of Chinese in the tumultuous times.

Kafka Prize winner Yan Lianke:

Jihong's research-based translation made me finally understand Faulkner.

of this classic magnum opus.

Writer Li Yinhe:

Narrative, Li Jihong's new translation of this classic will help a new generation of Chinese readers understand why Faulkner enjoys such a high status in the English-speaking world.

American Literary Translator Bruce Humes:

Jihong is an old friend of mine, and he is also one of the few full-time literary translators in China. His translations are fresh, elegant, and readable, which I have always liked.

On the Internet, it has been positioned as a master translator and a genius translator. Take the "Caroline's memoir "Off the Road", which was questioned in Li Jihong's article "Looking for Kabi Ruac in San Francisco", the result of 360 translation is:

Get off the road. The result of the translation of the first pants is: not on the road, or the wise one:

Not driving on the road. And his "Under the Road" obviously wants to be linked to "On the Road", and the translation is not accurate. However, even Cassady's wife, Caroline, was shameless in life, and at the same time "the three of them lived a life similar to that of a husband and two husbands" with her husband and her husband's friend Kerouac, and how could such a woman publish a memoir to write such a thing?
