A new series of books introduces ancient philosophers to young readers around the world, Yang Yang reports.
About three years ago, after the CEO of Xiron Books, Shen Haobo, and his team had published many works by Wang Meng about ancient Chinese philosophy from Confucius and Mencius to Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu - they decided to publish a series of books on ancient Chinese thinkers targeted at young people, not just in China but around the world.
Wang Meng was born in 1934 and has written more than 60 books since 1955. He served as China's minister of culture from 1986 to 1989.
