| Abstract | In the context of the history of Chinese translation, “Lin Shu, Inc.” is a term popularized by Hill (2013). The term alludes to the large “enterprise” that translator Lin Shu had built and represents his distinct paradigm and multifaceted practices. This study employs the analytical framework of trust theory to situate the success of “Lin Shu, Inc.” within the historical and cultural milieu of late Qing and early Republican China, exploring the underlying dynamics of trust that shaped Lin Shu's translation approach and professional collaborations. By analyzing his cooperative networks, institutional support, and broader cultural impact, the research highlights the pivotal role of trust in configuring translation practices. This case study sheds light on the complex interplay between trust, translation, and cultural exchange, offering new perspectives on how trust functions as a critical force in navigating literary and cross-cultural interactions. |
