As part of the 400th anniversary celebrations, a delegation from China Publishing Group Corp headed by company vice-president Li Yan visited Bohunt School in Hampshire, southern England, where CPG donated books.

Last year, the school was invited to take part in a BBC documentary, Are Our Kids Tough Enough? The broadcaster invited five Chinese middle school teachers for a month of Chinese-style teaching at the school, triggering debate on educational differences.

CPG brought along more than 100 books, including bilingual texts of Shakespeare and Tang, Chinese textbooks, reference works, books for adolescents and works on Chinese history and culture.
