about us

In Chinese, HongFei means "Swan goose flying high". In fact, the 11th century poet SU Dongpo compared life to a wild goose flying over a snowy land. It leaves some footprints and continues its flight, unattached and free.    

The publishing house HongFei Cultures is created in France in 2007. It publishes children's books featuring modern Chinese literatures and original pictures by French artists. Enchanting tales, stories and poetry on the themes of discovery, travelling and wisdom are selected  from Chinese literature. They are faithfully translated into French and well illustrated for children.

From 2009 on, HongFei Cultures also publishes books in hors collection, so as to encourage all creative works of illustrators living in France, as long as they invite children to adventures through life. This new horizon appears as a natural extension of our endeavour started two years earlier by way of Chinese literature.

HongFei Cultures publishes about seven titles each year, all available in bookstores throughout the country including the very popular FNACs and on-line bookstores. Readers in Taiwan can get them at Le Pigeonnier in Taipei.
