LONDON, March 12 -- Launch and donation ceremony of several new China-themed books by British authors were witnessed Tuesday at London Book Fair.
On the opening day of the London Book Fair, China International Publishing Group (CIPG) held the "China in the Eyes of the British", a special book launch event, to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 65th anniversary of the establishment of China-UK diplomatic relationship at the level of charge d'affaires.
The event saw the launch of Walk Your Dream by British Minister of State at the Department for International Development Lord Michael Bates and his wife Li Xuelin, and PINGJU: Real Life Opera of Northern China (English edition) written by John Chinnery and published by New World Press.
Lord Bates's Walk for Peace: Transcultural Experiences in China (English revision) and PINGJU: Real Life Opera and a 'Rural Chinese Shakespeare' (English local edition) published by New World Press and Global China Press together were also introduced at the event.
Michael Bates wrote Walk Your Dream after he and his wife had a charity walk across China in 2018 to boost awareness of the country's achievements and development over the last 40 years.
It was the seventh such walk undertaken by the couple in the recent years. The author and his wife walked about 260 kilometers from Beijing to Tangshan's Caofeidian, raising over 365,550 pounds (about 477,590 U.S. dollars) for China's Education Charity Fund and the Prince's Trust, the foundation of the UK's Prince Charles, to help impoverished youth in China and Britain escape from poverty, and encourage them to pursue and realize their dreams.
