A sharing session on Xi Jinping Among the People: Moments in Focus, jointly organized by Guangxi Normal University Press and Xinhua Publishing House, was held at the World Trade Center Kuala Lumpur.
The event took place during the 42nd Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair that opened on Friday and was a highlight of GNUP's participation in the fair.
The book, compiled by Xinhua News Agency, has been published in simplified Chinese by Xinhua Publishing House. It draws from the agency's series of reports with the same title and carefully selects over 60 photos capturing remarkable moments of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Organized chronologically, the book vividly narrates the heartwarming stories behind these photos through text and images.
In her speech, Cheng Lei, deputy editor-in-chief of GNUP, said the book will be published in eight ASEAN languages this year by Xinhua Publishing House and GNUP. The aim of this sharing session is to use the warm and touching words and images in the book as a bridge to help more Malaysians feel and understand China better.
Basri Abdillah, the Malay edition review expert, discussed the content related to China in the book and shared insights from a translation perspective on how to accurately convey the book's content while reflecting the cultural connotations behind the language.
Ngui Yuen Fatt, general manager of KB Asia Sdn Bhd, shared his impressions of reading the book and analyzed the significance and value of its publication from a professional perspective, focusing on the book's content and expression.
