Possibly you have a very wide screen / browser window, but for me that

If you're going to put the description under the name, you need fewer
columns or more space between them. Possibly make the description
text smaller too - at the moment it just blurs into the headings.
You are right. No I don't have a very wide screen but optimal Chinese
text column width is 13 characters, which means at XGA there could be
some 5 columns. I wasn't aware I was dealing English content.
How about this:
