In modern China, Rousseau's social contract has played a key role in the process of ideological enlightenments and opening the wisdom of the people, Social contract's spreading rapidly was famed as the theme of the East.How to interpretate Rousseau's social contract, Modern Chinese authority thinkers have finished the most difficult part of it, such as Liang Qichao and Yanfu, but modern academia less concern similarities and differences between the original and translations ,especially on Ma Junwu's translations .We still have not seen a complete analysis of these, and the author try to explore and research it.In the history of political ideas, Ma Junwu and his thoughts is not mentioned In the following in writing,such as,"China's political and ideological history"is edited by Lu Zhenyu ,"A Brief History of Chinese Thought"is writed by Hou Wailu,"Modern Chinese History of democratic ideas"is writed by Xiong Yuezhi,"Modern Chinese History of Political Thought"is edited by Sang Xianzhi and Lin Qiaoqiao, Guo Zhanbo's"China's history of ideas in nearly 50 years"and Li Zehou's"China Modern Ideological History".In fact, Ma Junwu is addressed earlier that is in the studies about western learning in modern China . Ma Junwu is ranked after Yan Fu by Xiong Yuezhi which introduced some translation talents. Subsequently,Ma Junwu is edited by Professor Bao Chengguan's"Western culture and Chinese society ____ Stuff East", in which Ma Junwu is mentioned in the modern Western political theories .In addition, Yan Deru scattered on Ma Junwu in a doctoral thesis"Liang Qichao, Yan Fu and Rousseau's social contract thinking"by the guidance of Professor Bao-Cheng Guan.Therefore, this paper presents how Ma Junwu with the multiple identities have spreaded the social contract thinking of the East, how to raise its focus,how to display the differences in the dialogue, What is the remarkable impact on modern China? What has Ma Junwu played the role ? Also, what are the deficiencies? These will undoubtedly be answered detailedly and effectively.This paper is explanated through three chapters.In the first chapter, the author elaborates how Ma Junwu spreaded the thinking of Rousseau's social contract.In the second chapter, the following three major aspects of the problem is analysed. Firstly, Why Ma Junwu concerned on"popular sovereignty", the source of"popular sovereignty"and republican construction .Secondly,How Ma Junwu commented on the"the general will",why he concerned of"the general will", the relations"the general will"and the laws,why Ma Junwu translated into"public opinion"?Thirdly, how Ma Junwu reflected on the "freedom and equality", the author will explanated it by dimension, the logical interpretation and reality of freedom and equality.In the third chapter, the author will focus on the value and deletion Ma Junwu's analysisFinally, the author concludes: Ma Junwu has been trying to compress the distance,in fact, Undoubtedly East-West differences in thinking exists ,there is the alienation between the interpret and the context . In modern China, there is a tendency translation of the west ----- the political tendency of the translation or the political translation ,correspondingly. Therefore, The influence of the spread has impacted on the Republican revolution and the New Culture Movement later, is obvious. What is worth mentioning is that in Western translations and the media, Ma Junwu should be stressed and identified about the activities of translation and should not be filtered out.
