孙仲旭 / Sun Zhongxu

孙仲旭 / Sun Zhongxu enters the wiki through 01.麦田守望者:20世纪的美国贾宝玉 as the Chinese translator connected to [[TheCatcherInTheRye|《麦田里的守望者》]]. The episode also names his translations of works such as 1984 and Animal Farm, then links him to the novel’s reception among Chinese readers.

The source presents Sun as a sensitive and pure-spirited translator figure who may resemble [[HoldenCaulfield|Holden Caulfield / 霍尔顿]] in temperament. It also mentions his death by suicide due to depression, but uses that point carefully: the hosts warn against reading the novel or the translator only through tragedy, because the book’s core is tender recognition rather than a command toward despair.
