Map "Ira - the mage"
I occasionally check maps4heroes.com. Sometimes you can find interesting new maps there. Chinese maps are always original; their authors often have an overactive imagination, but most of them aren't for me. And I can't imagine struggling to complete a map like that if it has a lot of important text in Chinese, which you can't understand without knowing the language?
By the way, the map description says:
If you can't read Chinese, then you must be the strongest player or you can't finish it.
It's not surprising, therefore, that
The map is a complete puzzle with very interesting solutions.
Of course, a complete lack of understanding of the text will turn almost any non-strategic map into a puzzle! :)

For example, the map "Metataxer's Revenge" was recently published there: I downloaded it; it looks pretty good (a nice minimap image, beautiful artwork, although a lot of space is filled with just mountains/forest/lava...) and it's probably interesting to play, but it's in German, and there's a lot of text! :(
