Why Are There Libraries in the World (translation Record)
by Yang Suqiu
About This Novel
The soul of a library is its bibliography. "CCTV News Weekly" praised Yang Suqiu, a "public book selector", for his "bibliographical defense" of the library. It focuses on recording the construction process of Xi'an Beilin District Library from scratch. The establishment of a library is both a cultural event and a public event. This incident received attention and reports from CCTV News Weekly, Tencent Guyu Studio, and iQiyi. I am a literature teacher at Shaanxi University of Science and Technology. By chance, I worked as a deputy director in the Culture, Tourism and Sports Bureau of Beilin District, Xi'an City. Beilin District is the central urban area of Xi'an, but there is no library, which surprised me. What makes me even more stunned is that the "Xi'an Beilin District Library Construction Project" I am about to take over will be built underground! The walls are damaged, the wires are exposed, and it doesn't look good. There are only two people, myself and the curator Xiao Ning. I asked friends from all over the world to select 10,000 kinds of books. Unexpectedly, a small bibliography touched the interests of all parties, and a "bibliographic defense war" began...

I would like to call it a must-read in my life!
The most terrible backwardness is the backwardness of thinking
The most terrible backwardness is the backwardness of thinking If my ambition outweighs my compassion, I have lost my soul. Let's not think about rewards first. If we can have a very good environment, it must be created by kind people. Only with such an environment can we be happy. How to build a library and open a bookstore? Reading the book "Why are there libraries in the world" with curiosity is very rewarding, and the book provides a large number of book lists. The book lists are placed at the end of the video, and you are welcome to pick them up. This book tells a true story, both documentary and literary. The author was appointed from a university professor to work in the Bureau of Culture and Tourism. During his tenure, he encountered various conflicts and interesting things because he was not familiar with the business processes of government work. One of the main tasks during his tenure was to establish the Beilin District Library, and the whole process of thinking and building it from scratch started around the library. During this period, the author observed and narrated the whole thing with an almost ordinary person's mentality and perspective, and brilliantly displayed various aspects of the library. At the same time, what is more interesting is the second half of the book. The author tells the communication process of visiting book recommenders and selecting books from a literary perspective, including a blind man who loves to read, an old man who writes inscriptions on inscriptions, a title writer who loves reading poetry, a calligrapher with an aesthetic attitude, a martial arts dad, a two-dimensional Comic fans, serious translators, religious professors of aesthetics, soul photographers, scientists who observe the world, these stories are like injecting soul into every book list, making this book list even more substantial. This is a great gift for people who like to read. The book introduces the functions of libraries. The first is to preserve the outstanding achievements of human civilization. The second is that libraries have the role of publicity and education. The third is to meet and enhance the reading needs of the masses and maintain public welfare and equality. And I would like to add two more points, one is a place to cultivate children's reading habits and hobbies, and the other is to improve the quality education of the whole people. The library is a palace that contains the secrets of ancient and modern times. When it comes to libraries, reading must be inseparable. The library is a holy place for reading, a starting point for a person's spiritual growth, and a place to gain spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. The books provided by the library have affected the direction of human development. In serious cases, they have even affected the process of a nation's civilization. We are very lucky that only after the reform and opening up in 1978 can we freely see a large number of books, especially foreign books. It has only been more than 40 years since today, so everyone must cherish the good time now when they can read as much as they want. The importance of the book "Why Are there Libraries in the World" lies in enlightening and purifying the society and the public deeply in the soul, and provides an anchoring standard and criterion for public awareness for the establishment of our national library. This seemingly light-weight power has a long-lasting and far-reaching influence, and I deeply pay tribute to the author.
This book is a very real work...
A book full of fireworks, reading the text makes you feel like you are there, feeling Suqiu's enthusiasm for doing things, making you fall in love with that place.
A friend's video introduced me to this book. I couldn't wait to find the paper book, so I started reading the e-book. This book can deeply capture me, perhaps because I yearn to read but have never been able to study well. In addition to the content of the book selection, the most significant feature of the article is that the author, as an outsider, works in the officialdom and enters the situation. He truly, vividly and even somewhat sharply reveals the rules that everyone keeps secret in contemporary officialdom. People within the system find it interesting and passionate to read, and some of the words are touching and even bring tears to their eyes.
I was moved to tears several times and felt that I had met similar people. After reading the book, I even went online to read the author's interview. She is really a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. I hope to have the opportunity to go to Xi'an and experience the library built with such care in person.
The warrior who guards the pure land of the candidate book
The experience of preparing to build a district-level library is very fresh, and I am also very moved by the author's character and persistence.
It's very good to find a book related to books. The author's advantage in writing stories about the system is that he is temporarily employed. He does not have too many scruples and writes truthfully and humorously. If you don't read it, you won't know that Qingshui Yamen like the library has so many stories. Readable[strong]
I am impressed by Teacher Yang's humor and literary talent. This book is great.
In my spare time, I read Teacher Yang's book, and some of the details described the humanities, food and scenery of Xi'an, which made me fascinated. My parents and I once went to Xi'an on the eve of the epidemic, but unfortunately we didn't have a good stroll around. As a college teacher who has just joined the job, there are some things that resonate with Teacher Yang about the construction of the bidding training room. This is what attracted me to read the whole book. Teacher Yang very humorously presents the stories of his life and friends in front of us. I hope that one day I can become as optimistic and open-minded as Teacher Yang.
"Why are there libraries in the world?"
Maybe everyone has his or her own answer The author went from being a professor in the Chinese Department of a well-known university to serving as deputy director of culture and tourism in the government The story of the construction of a library took nearly 200,000 words of pen and ink to create, surprising first-time readers. In the book, she is the curator, and she is also like a delicate, upright and charming literati who issues orders to the heroes to ask for advice one by one. "Martial Arts - Book List" The most moving part is the concern and attention given to the blind people Kindness and compassion are human virtues [It is also a symbol of human "civilization"] "Swaying my hands and shouting "Suqiu, Suqiu..." The author's personality, the humorous description of Xi'an's language, and the pleasant name "Suqiu" match well. What resonates deeply with the author is the representative of the Chinese Department (teacher) Well-read, approachable, well-connected, has his own sense of justice and perseverance, and is as funny and friendly as he is in writing. Some stereotypes and not being able to adapt may be the "character of a literati who has not left school" After thinking about it carefully, it turns out that the teachers I like also have these characteristics, so I put myself in the situation like this I hope I can become such a person in the future
