Children's books now more fun, less preachy

Does China have its very own Harry Potter?

Yes, says Gao Hongbo, writer of children's books, but one rooted in Chinese cultural and literary traditions.

The 59-year-old vice-president of the Chinese Writers' Association (CWA), who has judged many of the country's top awards for children's literature, says writers of such books should strive to serve their readers rather than educate them.
