The name of the Guangzhou Bright Book Publishing & Distributing Co., Ltd. (GBBPDC) should be the Guangzhzou Kai Xin Book Publishing & Distributing Co., Ltd. if translated literally. Kai Xin means making somebody happy and bright in the Chinese language, and named after so, GBBPDC has always had as its motto the following phrase: Let happiness accompany its readers all the time and help them increase their wisdom in a happy way. Established in Guangzhou (Canton) in south China’s Guangdong Province in 1999 and specializing in the production and distribution of books that aid primary and middle school students in their efforts to improve their reading, apprehension and composition, GBBPDC has made it to the top of ten national publishers and distributors of similar kind across China, with its sales income reaching an aggregate of five hundred million Chinese yuan or eighty million US dollars in 2011.

Consisting of forty-five famous titles such as Aesop's Fables, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Secret Garden, and Robinson Crusoe, the series has received favorable comments from students and teachers and its sales have averaged fifteen thousand copies each.
