As one of the greatest achievements of the great writer Dickens, the Chinese translation of "Bleak House" is a rare and precious translation. It uses more than 30 precious original illustrations by the 19th century painter H. K. Brown. In 2005, it was adapted into a British drama of the same name by the BBC, which became popular all over the world. "Bleak House" is Dickens' late representative work. Through a protracted inheritance lawsuit that martyred the fate and youth of generations, the novel aimed its criticism at the incarnation of all injustice and unreasonable things in Britain at that time - the rigid and corrupt Chancery Chamber.

It vividly expresses and exposes the dark side of British society at that time. The outstanding use of symbolic techniques in the work - the repeated rendering of natural scenery such as dense fog and clouds - makes it a classic with unique artistic appeal among 19th-century British realist novels.

Haruki Murakami's highly regarded historical masterpiece of the late Heian Dynasty, which panoramically displays the majestic scenes of Japan's medieval war, has been hailed by Japanese literary historians as "the nation's heroic narrative poem", "the highest achievement of Kamakura literature" and "Japan's national literature". The pinnacle of Japanese historical novels and military stories, the Japanese version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is, together with "The Tale of Genji", the two masterpieces of Japanese classical literature. The first truly complete Chinese translation, translator Wang Xinxi's nearly 60,000 words of detailed annotations fully explain the rise and fall of the Ping family. The precious color pictures visually show the magnificent historical picture and have extremely high literary, historical and ideological value. Finally, it comes with a rare "Initiation Scroll" on the market, which writes a final conclusion to the rise and fall of the Heike family over the past century. At the end of the 12th century, the Heian Dynasty came to an end. The centralized system in which the emperor and the nobles held real power was gradually declining, and the feudal samurai group with territories and private armed forces was on the rise. As two major samurai groups that held great power in the imperial court and the local government, the Minamotoji and the Heike clan finally broke out in a fierce war from 1156 to 1185 AD due to their intricate grievances and covetousness for ruling power. "The Tale of the Heike" takes the historical chronology as the main axis, and from the perspective of the Heike, it describes in detail the entire process of the Genji and Heike's struggle for power.
