Zhong Shuhe: Documentary on Paper
Recipient of Publication Award in Literary and Fiction at the Hong Kong Publishing Biennial Awards 2021
The story of Zhong Shuhe (1931– ), one of the most prominent editor of China, is a quixotic one in the modern history of Chinese publishing. After being re-educated through labor and spent nine years in jail during the Cultural Revolution, Zhong started his editing career at his late forties. Since then, he has edited and published many pioneering masterpieces, such as the “Heading Towards the World Series,” The Complete Works of Zhou Zuoren, and The Complete Works of Zeng Guofan etc., all have profound influence on many generations of both common readers and intellectuals.
In this remarkable biography Peng and Wang bring their masterful skills to chronicling Zhong’s life struggles, his marriage and friendship, and the stories behind his publishing career. The result is an extraordinary and complex portrait of a man and the era in which he lived.
