Jin Yong Library is located in the north area of Yuexiu Campus of Jiaxing University, with a construction area of more than 2,300 square meters, which was donated by Jin Yong (real name Cha). On April 3rd, when KLOC-0/994 opened, Jin Yong donated money to buy books for the library.
In 2003, 79-year-old Jin Yong gave a speech to students in the lecture hall of Jin Yong Library. However, a staff member of the Cultural Relics Department of Jiaxing Culture, Radio, Film and Television Tourism Bureau told the reporter that Jin Yong Library is not an open library, and its popularity and influence in Jiaxing society are limited.
On March 28th, 2023, Jiaxing Housing Expropriation Management Service Center announced the 2023 annual housing expropriation plan on municipal state-owned land, which involved eight plots in the north of the city and the old city, including the plot where Jin Yong Library was located.
On April 23, a staff member of Jiaxing Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau said that expropriation and demolition are not the same thing. Expropriation is to turn land into state-owned land. As for whether the Jin Yong Library should be demolished, we have to wait for the follow-up news. On the same day, Cao Jian and a staff member of the president's office of Jiaxing University told the Beijing News reporter that the municipal party committee and municipal government were discussing the protection and utilization plan of Jinyong Library.
value orientation
As early as June, 20265438 1 day, Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television Tourism and Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics replied to the suggestion of Cao Jian, a member of Jiaxing CPPCC, on the preservation of Jinyong Library building.
According to the plan, the north area of Yuexiu Campus of Jiaxing University, where Jin Yong Library is located, will be relocated soon, and this area will be re-planned by the municipal government, so the future stay and orientation of Jin Yong Library becomes a problem.
Therefore, Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Television Tourism and Jiaxing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics put forward three suggestions: effectively protecting Jin Yong's library building, further tapping Jin Yong's cultural resources, and accurately grasping the functional orientation of Jin Yong's library.
As the director of Jiaxing University Library, at this year's Jiaxing Conference, Cao Jian once again suggested that Jin Yong Library should be preserved and protected, and the area where Jin Yong Library is located should be re-planned to ensure that Jin Yong Library can be integrated into the construction of this area.
A staff member of the Cultural Relics Department of Jiaxing Culture, Radio, Film and Television Tourism Bureau told the reporter that after receiving Jian Cao's suggestion, the municipal government also organized various departments to conduct in-depth discussions and research. "Although Jin Yong Library is not a cultural relic, it is very valuable from a cultural point of view."
