Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In June 2014, Professor Cheng Hong, wife of China’s Premier Li Keqiang and a professor of English literature, visited the University of Oxford to discuss literature with leading Oxford academics and make a major donation of books to the university's Bodleian Library. The donation included 1,039 volumes of Chinese research material including 11 series of important Chinese and Tibetan books. The financial value of the donation is unknown.

Staff comments

1. AidData assumes that the donation was financed by the Chinese Government, and not by Cheng Hong herself.
