Marcus Aurelius's private journal, written in Greek and known in Chinese as 《
沉思录》 (Chénsīlù, 'Meditations'), has been a bestseller in mainland China since the 2000s and is regularly cited by Chinese officials and tech entrepreneurs. The more standard Chinese rendering of the name is
马可·
奥勒留 (Mǎkě·Àolèliú); the form
马卡斯奥里勒斯 is a closer phonetic match to the Latin 'Marcus Aurelius'.
