Established in 2023, Hengtion Books and Publications is the collaborative brainchild of four friends hailing from diverse regions across China. Despite their distinctive cultural backgrounds, they all share a common experience – residing in Europe. Hengtion specializes in both publishing and organizing events centered around academic content.
Hengtion firmly subscribes to the belief that an exchange of varying viewpoints can lead to a broader, more enriched understanding of our world! We envision ourselves as more than just a business; we are a ‘cultural carrier’, an incubator of innovative ideas, and a catalyst for stimulating dialogues. As an open platform, our mission is to foster a community of insightful, dynamic thinkers, challenge outdated viewpoints, amplify progressive thoughts, and celebrate the emergence of innovative ideas that offer fresh perspectives, novel ways of living, and exciting means to experience the world.
Our objective at Hengtion is to build a reliable, vibrant mechanism that encourages different cultures to interact, learn from one another, and together, discover the art of appreciating life’s finest offerings and the thrill of embracing unexplored possibilities.
We extend a warm invitation to authors, academics, professionals, and art and philosophy enthusiasts both within China and internationally, to share their unique cultural insights with us. Furthermore, Hengtion endeavors to serve as a cross-cultural conduit between China and Europe, fostering introductory events and facilitating deeper intellectual discussions.
