Our Director, Prof. Christine Huang, attended the awards ceremony held on 25 November 2022 at the Fringe Club and received the award certificate on behalf of City University of Hong Kong Press. We once again thank the judging panel for the recognition.

 

 

Heart Sutra (《心經》) was published in January 2020 and is a story about religion and human nature. The book immediately received overwhelming support from our readers, especially from those from Mainland China. We have published several other titles in the same series, which can be previewed on our website at: www.cityu.edu.hk/upress/the-selected-works-of-yan-lianke
