About the publisher

China Workers Publishing House is a comprehensive publisher grounded in trade union and labor relations titles and worker education, with an expanding list in social sciences, humanities and literature. Beyond books on union work, it has built a fairly concentrated line in history, as shown by Chen Gonglu's A History of China in the Last Hundred Years and Li Yin's series of commentaries on Qing emperors. Its literary list covers mystery and detective fiction, social novels and essays, including Lou Xiaopeng's Light in the Dark Night (the original novel behind the TV drama Thirteen Years of Dust), Zijin Chen's business-thriller series and Ye Guangqin's The Old County Town, reflecting a selection aimed at general readers. Other authors represented include An Bushao, Tang Dawei and Zhu Yunqiao. Public information on the publisher's full catalogue structure and series planning is limited; the directions above are drawn only from the titles available here.
