The English version of this dictionary was published in 1978. Its bilingual edition, Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, was released in Hong Kong in 1988 and later introduced to mainland China in simplified Chinese. Over the years, these versions have been widely favored by English learners worldwide. The name "Longman Dictionary" has gained increasing recognition in China's English-speaking community in recent years. Last spring, "Longman Dictionary" launched a new bilingual edition titled Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English (English-English & English-Chinese) (Traditional Chinese, Hong Kong, 1997), with entirely updated content and significant improvements over the previous version. Like its predecessors, it was immediately warmly welcomed by Chinese readers in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and across Southeast Asia and the global Chinese-speaking English learning community upon its release.
