Three people from China were selected, namely Du Fu, Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun, ranking 27th, 67th and 93rd respectively. China writers are not selected in large numbers, and their ranking is not high, probably because the author thinks that the development of China literature is relatively isolated and has little influence on other countries in the world. However, considering that China's population accounts for 22% of the world's population, which once accounted for more than 1/4 of the world's population in history, people who have an important influence on China are also considered as people who have an important influence on the world (in Mack hart). I think China's list is still too small. Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Su Shi, Guan Hanqing and others should also be eligible for the list. But the three masters selected in this book, Du Fu, Cao Xueqin and Lu Xun, are quite convincing. They are regarded as the representatives of China's classical poems, novels and new literature respectively.

In this ranking, Britain accounts for 28 people, the United States accounts for 2 1 person, and 54 people use English as their creative language. It can be seen that English has always been the most important carrier to lead the trend of world literature.
