10 years ago, UNESCO designated April 23rd as World Book and Copyright Day. April 23rd, 2005 is the 10 "World Reading Day". Since World Reading Day was announced by 1995, with the support of the government, people from all walks of life, such as publishing institutions, schools, libraries and communities in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, have carried out colorful reading day celebrations on this day every year, turning the publicity activities of reading day into a lively and happy festival.
However, in China, this world-wide reading festival has never been known to the public, let alone a festival. According to the survey of Sohu Reading Website in 2004, only 6% people know about World Reading Day, 27% people have heard of it but don't know the details, and 67% people have never heard of it.
Reading has a great influence on people's growth, and a good book can often change people's life. The spiritual realm of a nation depends largely on the reading level of the whole nation. In order to build a harmonious society and further stimulate the reading enthusiasm of the whole people, let's read a good book seriously!
