In recent years, Tomorrow Publishing House has actively responded to the call of the joint-stock company, and strengthened the in-depth cooperation with publishing houses in countries along the Belt and Road. Especially since December 2016, Tomorrow Publishing House has devoted itself to the preparations of the copyright trade fair in an all-round way and invited 16 foreign publishing houses to attend the copyright trade fair. During the fair, Tomorrow Publishing House and the publishing houses in countries along the Belt and Road continued idea exchanges, gathered translation resources, promoted copyright trade, explored new ways of cooperation, made a series of achievements, and improved the identity of Chinese culture of people, especially the next generation, in countries along the Belt and Road.

If we review its path of going global, we can find that the leaders of the publishing house has paid high attention to it and its personnel in copyright trade have worked hard. However, the core driving force is the quality books which have stood the test of time. "The Diary of the Smiling Cat" which has created sales legends one after another in the children's book industry of China, the " Pure and Beautiful Picture Books by Cao Wenxuan" which was created by Cao Wenxuan, a winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the Looking for the King of Fishing which won the award and the Warm Picture Books by Qin Wenjun which were the first picture books created by the well-known children's literature writer Qin Wenjun all show the high taste and great styles of the children's books published by Tomorrow Publishing House, and also have attracted worldwide publishing houses.
