I live in a small village in Hangzhou. Before the village reform, our life was not as happy as it is now. Listen to my dad: when he was young, the village library was a small room of five or six square meters. There is a big newspaper on the door, which says "Country Library". Whenever he comes back from school, he will go there. Pushing open the stinking "rattan door", I walked in, and the first thing I saw was the crumbling lights on the ceiling and the ground. There are two bamboo bookshelves. Although it was made of bamboo, it was the best and strongest bookshelf in the village at that time. On the bookshelf, there are several yellow pages of books scattered, just like the plot in a horror movie.
I heard from my uncle that the village library in his youth was much better than that in his father's time. It consists of two tile-roofed houses, and the four characters of "village library" carved with wooden boards are hung on the door. There are two lights when you walk in. It's not very bright, but it's much better than just one. Bookshelves have changed from two bamboo bookshelves to three wooden bookshelves. You don't have to listen to the "squeak" sound when you take the book. The most important thing is the floor, tables and chairs. The floor has become a concrete floor, so you don't have to step on the mud when reading in rainy days. And there are many chairs beside the bookshelf, so you can sit down and read! Ten years have passed and the village library has changed a lot!
When they were young, village cadres began to prepare to build cultural centers.
Five years later, the cultural center was built, and the whole village applauded, because the cultural center has a gym, a Go room, a table tennis room, a billiards room, a library, and can also make up lessons for the children in the village for free. There are treadmills, sandbags and other sports equipment in the gym, which is no worse than professional gyms. The study books and Go in the Go room are neat and clean. Every day, many old people go there to play Go and praise the cultural and sports center. The equipment in the table tennis red ball room is the most professional, and many people go there every day. Books are the most expensive. 12 sets of desks and chairs are specially made for people. There are the most kinds of books, including children's books, adult books, old people's books, and 10 computers. You can always consult them if you have any questions. This is the change of the village library in 25 years!
After the g20 summit, my hometown became more famous and rich. I believe that this never-ending pace will make China more prosperous!
