The study aims to demonstrate that whether treatment of nucleoside (acid)analogues (NAs) plus pegylated interferon (Peg IFN) α-2b for those NAs treated, low level of HBsAg, hepatitis B related compensatory cirrhosis patients will result in higher HBsAg clearance rate and reduce the risk of liver cancer. The investigators plan to enroll about 84 hepatitis B related compensatory cirrhosis patients, who have received NAs treatment more than 1 year with the level of HBsAg \<1000IU/ml. These participants will be devided into 2 groups. Group A will receive the treatment of NAs plus Peg IFNα-2b. Group B will be treated with NAs as before enrollment. The participants in both groups will be followed up for 96 weeks. The primary endpoint is to compare the clearance rate of HBsAg between two groups. The secondary endpoint includes: (1) comparing the incidence of liver cancer during the 96 weeks follow-up, (2) comparing adverse side effects between the 2 groups. (3) comparing the virological and biochemical responses between the 2 groups.
