The New Account of Tales of the World, an ancient text collecting the words and deeds of famous people from the Wei and Jin dynasties, still holds profound meaning in modern society. Lu Jielun is a young man who loves ancient texts. Not long after graduating, he worked as a teacher and as a junior office worker. After gaining some experience in society, he happened upon the chance to take over an old, run-down bookstore. Seeing its potential, he decided to bring ancient texts to more people. He Meina is a diligent graduate student. Thanks to her parents' enthusiasm, she too developed a deep interest in ancient texts. The two met by chance and formed a close friendship through their shared love of these works.
Through continual study and exploration, they drew on their own expertise to present the contents of ancient texts to modern readers in innovative ways. Lu Jielun transformed the bookstore into a chain of cafes, restaurants, and hotels themed around ancient texts. This encouraged young people to take part and deepened their understanding of these works. He Meina, meanwhile, shared the value and appeal of ancient texts with more people through public lectures and other events.
Their efforts not only helped more people learn about and fall in love with ancient texts, but also contributed to protecting and passing on cultural heritage. Their story reminds us that ancient texts are not merely old words. They contain profound ideas and wisdom that remain important to modern society. We should study and pass them on with care, preserving a culture steeped in books.
