Old friends: Ten of the books on China's September Top 30 in fiction had each been on the list more than 20 times in the past.

As contemporary classics return to the Top 30, China's bestsellers in August have included a new challenge from relationship-driven fiction.

Both in fiction and nonfiction, China's bestseller charts in June reflected readers' deepening interest in national culture and history.

China's chart-drivers in May: Film and stage adaptations, e-commerce visibility, and a love of 'addictive' and 'fascinating' history.

A stage adaptation and the work of a strong translator were behind some of the standout books on China's bestseller charts in March.

Now with three serial adaptations either on the air or in post-production, Liu Cixin's 'The Three-Body Problem' rockets up the charts.
