林可欣

Lin Kexin is the Chinese translator of the Cat Kingdom series. Created by the half-Dutch, half-Japanese illustrator Molly Jieye, the series includes Cat Kingdom, Kitten Whispers, and Small Matters in Cat City, and is set on NEARGO, a fictional Mediterranean island shaped like a sleeping cat, depicting a fantastical world where people and cats live together. Lin Kexin has introduced these picture books to Chinese-language readers, making this globally popular cat picture-book series available in full. Beyond her role as a translator, public information about her nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background is limited and awaits further verification. Based on the available information, her work centers on translating and introducing Japanese picture books; her translations serve illustrated reading and help readers understand the original works' island setting and cat characters. Her representative translations are often published as three-volume collections and are categorized under social sciences as picture books and translations.
