Li Linbo is an author about whom limited public information is available. Two works by this author are currently held in the collection, falling respectively into the fields of foreign literature and language and writing. The first, Chu Zou (Running Away), in three volumes, belongs to foreign literature; judging from its title and length, it is likely a multi-volume narrative work or novel in translation, dealing with the theme of departure and journeying afar. The second, How to Write a Good Paper, is a practical guide in the area of language and writing, aimed at academic writing and paper training. The two works differ considerably in subject, one devoted to literary narrative and the other to writing methods, suggesting that Li Linbo's writing or editing spans both literary appreciation and language expression. As no clear records of birth and death dates, nationality, education, or professional experience have been found, biographical details cannot be given in full; readers may turn to the two works above to understand the author's choice of subjects and style of expression.
