About the publisher
Chengdu Times Press is a comprehensive publishing house whose output spans popular science, modern romance, time-travel and alternate-history fiction, wuxia novels, and social fiction. Although the database contains only seven titles, they already show considerable breadth: popular-science works such as The First Fossil Hunters, involving authors including Adrienne Mayor, Xing Lida, and Ding Guozong, sit alongside novels such as Timing Love, Zhenxiang, Here: Lighting the Lotus, Yongfeng Inn, The Wind and Dust of a Medical Journey, and Roots, which range across romance, alternate worlds, wuxia, and realistic themes. Its authors include Shijin, Yanmao yu Jiu, Jiang Xueluo, Lü Jiafa, and Liu Wei. Because public information is limited, its publishing profile can currently be described only in terms of the diverse subjects reflected in these titles and a balance between popular science and genre fiction.

About the author
Ni Temo is an author about whom little public information is currently available. The library holds one work by this name, the social novel Root. Since basic details such as dates of birth and death, nationality, English name, and personal background cannot be confirmed, only the existing work can be briefly discussed here. Root is classified as a social novel, a genre that typically takes contemporary society as its setting, focuses on the circumstances, relationships, and fates of ordinary people, and uses character-driven stories to reflect the conflicts and changes within a particular social environment. Judging from the title and classification, the work may explore the connections between individuals and their roots, family, or native place, but verifiable material on its specific plot and style is still lacking. On the basis of the available information, Ni Temo's creative profile remains rather unclear, and an assessment of this author's writing style and social influence will have to wait for more works and sources to emerge. Readers may wish to begin with Root and form their own careful judgment.
