Just when simplified Chinese characters seem to be taking over the world, a Chinese translation of China: Empire of Living Symbols by Swedish sinologist Cecilia Lindqvist has been published in Taiwan. Tracing the origin of Chinese characters from their beginnings as inscriptions on oracle bones and ancient bronzes, this book is a timely shot in the arm for champions of traditional characters.
另外，就在簡體字稱霸全球之際，瑞典漢學家林西莉在台灣發行《漢字的故事》（China : Empire of Living Symbols）一書，從甲骨文、金文開始，從頭追溯漢字的源頭，這如同一陣及時雨，給正體字擁護者打了一劑強心針。
