Many of his Chinese classic cartoon books have been sold to 40 million volumes and circulated among 45 countries. In 2010, he published the monograph, "Oriental Universe Trilogy", in which the power of pen is extended to physics and math and the physic theories are re-illustrated from the oriental perspective.
