Mr. Li Jingci had the habit of keeping a diary, and the preserved diary began in October 1949. These diaries record the editing and publishing work in the process from the private public bookstore to the public-private joint venture Beijing Public Bookstore Publishing House to the state-owned Beijing Publishing House, which is very helpful for future generations to study the development history of Beijing Publishing House.
