Chapter and verse
China DailyA reader browses through books on a shelf at Wangfujing Bookstore in Beijing on Sept 27, including Xi Jinping: The Governance of China and Xi Jinping's Seven Years as an Educated Youth. Hu Kaimin, chief editor of the Foreign Languages Press, uses a "seven books" theory to summarize the publisher's achievements in presenting Chinese titles to global readers over the past 70 years. The seven titles, each representing a decade, range from multilingual versions of late chairman Mao Zedong's collections in the 1960s to Chinese classics such as A Dream of Red Mansions in the 1970s, the Culture and Civilization of China series in the 1990s and the two-volume book, Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, sold in 32 editions in 28 languages so far. "For the Xi book, we tried to launch both the Chinese and English versions almost simultaneously, closely followed by versions in languages recognized by the United Nations," Hu tells China Daily in his Beijing office. The company with perhaps the longest tradition of publishing and distributing Chinese books in the global market, China International Publishing Group, of which the Foreign Languages Press is a part, was set up in 1949, the same year the People's Republic of China was founded.
