"By rendering YANG Bojun’s authoritative annotations of Mengzi into English for the first time, Translation and Annotation of the Mengzi offers readers not only a faithful translation of Mengzi’s timeless reflections, but also a rich interpretation grounded in rigorous textual analysis. It bridges centuries of scholarship with clarity and care, making the depth of Confucian thought accessible to a global audience. This is a must-read for scholars, students, and anyone seeking to understand the moral foundations of leadership and legitimacy through a non-Western lens."Binhua Wang, Chair/Professor of Interpreting and Translation Studies, University of Leeds, UK
