MEETING THE CHALLENGE
Partnering with a philologist and other specialists across the globe, we studied, identified and organized the archival material. Footnotes, prefaces and introductory texts were written to complement the material — some dating back to the early 1900s — and appeal to today’s readers. The rest was left to the authors’ own creations which we displayed in entirety, along with full transcriptions.

Aside from deciphering and transcribing thousands of pages of never-seen before handwritten manuscripts, another challenge we faced was the fact that no quality books has been published for the general reader on Wang Jingwei. Market reception was impossible to gauge on the first publication of a vast collection of materials about a controversial, and often vilified, political figure? Would there be a market at all?
Our first decision was to partner with the premier China Times Publishing, Inc (R.O.C.) whose audience reaches far beyond academia. The other decision is to focus on the integrity of the material and market the inherent value of its publication. The result? Here are some responses:
