Duzhe (Chinese: 读者; pinyin: Dúzhě; lit. 'The Readers') is a bimonthly Chinese general interest magazine.[1] It is among the most widely circulated[2] and the leading magazines in the People's Republic of China.[3]
History and profile
[edit]Duzhe was first published in Lanzhou in March 1981, with the original name as Duzhe Wenzhai (Chinese: 读者文摘; pinyin: Dúzhě Wénzhāi; lit. 'Reader's Digest').[4] Due to the name conflict with Reader's Digest, the name was changed to the current title Duzhe in 1993.[5]
The magazine has its headquarters in Lanzhou,[6] and is published on a biweekly basis[7] by the Gansu People's Press. The magazine includes original articles, condensed articles reprinted from other magazines, book excerpts, and collections of jokes, anecdotes, quotations and other short pieces.[7]
During the first half of the 2000s the magazine was published bi-monthly.[8] In 2003 Duzhe was among the top five magazines in China with a circulation of 3,000,000.[9] The same year it was also the 4th best selling magazine in the world, after Reader's Digest, National Geographic and Time.[8]
