Different language, same, strong message

Lean In: Women, Work and The Will to Lead is Sheryl Sandberg's first book. The book topped the New York Times booklist for nonfiction for eight weeks after its release in March.

The Chinese version, launched in July by China Citic Press, sold 120,000 copies in two months, according to the press' deputy editor-in-chief Li Yinghong.

Citic's Kong Yan and other editors all say they were drawn to Sandberg's charm during the process of working on the Chinese version.
