China's national spirit has become a focus of publishing recently.

The Untold Story of China's First A-Bomb, H-Bomb and Orbiting Satellite, written by veteran journalist Dong Sheng - the pen name for 89-year-old Li Xiangyi - about the "Two-Bombs and One Satellite" triumph, is being translated into English by Foreign Language Press and is set for publication in 2019.

"Dong Sheng is a friend in real life to many of the heroes who completed the feat. His perspective is valuable for the book," Cao Yun, the editor of the book, tells China Daily.
