YesAsia 2020 Bestsellers - Chinese Books

Written by YumCha! Editorial Team Tell a Friend

The below rankings are based on sales of Chinese books on YesAsia.com from January 1 to December 31, 2020.


TOP 10 CHINESE BOOKS

Continuing her steady output and popularity, Yi Shu claimed six spots in the top ten Hong Kong book bestsellers of 2020. However, she ceded the top-selling author title to Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, whose BL fantasy period novel series Mo Dao Zu Shi stayed at #1 among Taiwan books. Not only that, the series' side story and her other novel, The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, follow right behind. Popular Taiwan TV host Kevin Tsai has two books in the top ten, and cookbooks from Chef Chu and Hong Kong YouTuber Martin provided recipes for those stay-at-home days.

TOP TEN CHINESE PHOTOBOOKS

Photographer Timothy's collections took three spots in the top ten photobooks. Meanwhile, Taiwan swimming coach Yilianboy grabbed #1 with his first photobook. Books by Taiwan and Malaysian models like Lisa Lin, Ava Wu and Michiya Ho also appear in the top ten. The Chinese version of An Incurable Case of Love star Satoh Takeru's Kumamoto book released three year ago rose to bestsellers.

For film- and television-related books, the popularity of the Taiwan BL HIStory series – which topped our TV bestsellers – extended to its many photobooks and novels. The award-winning Taiwan idol drama Someday or One Day has three books in the top ten, and the photobook for gay youth film Your Name Engraved Herein also made the cut.
