About the author

Wang Zhong is a Chinese author about whom little public information is available. His work centers on world history, and two of his titles are currently included in the collection, both concerned with archival issues in modern and contemporary Eastern European history. His representative works include Archive: A Personal History and M Translation Series Set 02: Archive: A Personal History of Eastern Europe, the Secret Police, and Hope (three-volume set). These works show his interest in archives as both historical evidence and a carrier of personal memory, using materials such as secret police files to present individual fates and hopes in Eastern European society during particular periods. His writing falls within the popularization of world history and historical narrative, approaching grand history through the lens of personal history and turning archives from cold documents into an entry point for understanding an era and its people.
