About the publisher
Founded in 1982, Modern Press is a Chinese publisher that serves general readers across a diverse range of subjects.

About the author
Public information about Zheng Ke is limited, and it is not currently possible to confirm the author's nationality, dates of birth and death, educational background, or professional experience. Judging from the six works held in the collection, the writing spans several fields, including law, finance, applied psychology, history, and culture, showing a notably broad range of interests. China Court Cases 2021: Private Lending Disputes reflects an attention to judicial practice and the organization of case materials; The Great City: Decoding the Rise and Fall of Cities and Enterprise Digital Transformation: Theory, Practice and Exploration show a scope extending to urban development and business change; and A Guide to Identifying and Rehabilitating Pseudo-Autism indicates a concern for mental health and the needs of specific groups. In addition, the seven-volume Tongliao Yearbook Series and Traces of the Ancestors point to engagement with local records and historical subjects. Overall, Zheng Ke is a cross-disciplinary author whose works tend toward practical reference and general knowledge, though the scarcity of personal background information makes a more specific assessment of style and influence difficult.
