Representative works include Don Quixote, Jane Eyre, Selected Works of Chekhov, The Lady of the Camellias, The Sherlock Holmes Stories, In the World, Peter Pan, and The Sorrows of Young Werther, spanning European classic novels, detective fiction, and children's literature. A byline of this kind usually corresponds to an editorial or translation team, whose direction focuses on introducing, adapting, or popularizing world literary classics for general and young readers. Owing to limited information, it is not yet possible to give a definite account of its specific members or division of editorial work.
