  Top publishers seek top writers, vice versa. After six months of honest and relentless efforts, 21st Century Publishing House finally signed with Wang Ruowen, the Canadian Chinese writer and English language educator.
  Wang was born in Tianjin and later in life graduated as an English major from Tianjin Foreign Studies University where she met her Canadian teacher, Ms. Smith, who was surprised to meet such a unique girl and decided to help her find a way to fulfill her potential.
  So Ms. Smith became Wang’s godmother and took her to Canada. Wang was a special character who has unique understanding of the world and how to behave with people. If you want to know more about her stories, you can visit her microblog site on Sina.com (http://blog.sina.com.cn/wangruowen228), which carries a piece called Wang Ruowen’s Legendary Life, a CCTV dialogue.
  Wang once said that one is a driver driving his life as a car to the right direction. Even when your vehicle is about to fall off a cliff, it should be on your own choice. Wang’s success lies in her proper handling of her life. She is probably the only successful writer in history who never contributed her books to and never signed a contract with a publisher but succeeded at first run. Canadian Public Library has added all her books to its collection and her stories were praised as best Canadian children’s literature books by Canadian Children’s Book Center, the top organization in the circle of children’s literature. Her books have also been praised as the most valuable collection in Canada by Canadian Quarterly on Children’s Literature. Can You Guess What I’m Thinking About, Share a Moon and Xiaowen was given five stars by American literature critic Midwest Book Reviews. Xiaowen, the autobiographical picture books, shows her exciting childhood with great plot, depiction, writing skills as well as literature and educational values, bringing fresh air to readers. Zhang Qiulin, the president of 21st Century Publishing House, decided to wait for the tenth book of the series before rolling out all ten books.
  When she came back to China in 2009, she began to show interests in Chinese children’s literature and see it as her responsibility to bring her books to China and promote the merging of both Chinese and western children’s literature after she compared two kinds of children’s literature books.
  She has already translated some of her books to Chinese and published them on Sina blog. More and more readers have been attracted to the unique charm of her books, which blends eastern wisdom and gentleness with western reason and humor. Many of them have been looking forward to the Chinese version and more of her books.
