About the author

Xin Cheng is an author about whom little public information is available; details of their life and educational background have not been made public. Judging from the three works included in the catalogue, their writing focuses on introducing classics and historical figures, spanning categories such as education, biography, and literary appreciation. One Book to Understand Fu Lei's Family Letters offers an interpretation of Fu Lei's letters, balancing ideas about family education with literary appreciation; One Book for a Quick Understanding of Zhu Xi presents Zhu Xi's thought in an accessible way; and The Life of Du Fu in Half an Hour portrays Du Fu's life and work in a concise format. Together these works reflect an effort to lower the barrier to reading by using plain language, aimed at general readers who wish to quickly gain an introduction to classics and historical figures. Because public information is limited, a fuller account of the author's writing career and influence remains to be supplemented.
