Beggars go into the library to write compositions.
Since 2003, Hangzhou Library has been open to all readers free of charge, including beggars and nearby migrant workers. 18, Jun Shuqing, director of Hangzhou Library, said in Weibo that "I have no right to refuse them to study in the library, but you have the right to choose to leave." This Weibo has been forwarded more than 5000 times, and the comments alone exceeded 1200. Many bloggers praised the curator for leaving a legacy for Peking University. (Youth Times 65438+ 19, 10) It is really a warm thing that beggars and other vulnerable groups can also enter the "hall" of the library. Borges, director of the National Library of Argentina and a famous writer, once said: "If there is a paradise, it should be like a library. In recent years, the city library has become more and more luxurious. It is not only an "ocean of knowledge", but also a "business card" for urban modernization. Since it is a "business card", of course not everyone can "make an avatar", and the right to know is also labeled as an identity. Speaking of libraries, we certainly remember Carnegie's story: a poor boy from Scotland, after arriving in the United States, became a rich man through free libraries and running the steel industry, and donated thousands of libraries in his life. His philosophy of life is: given a fair social environment, no matter how poor people can succeed, and the library is the first step to success. Giving the disadvantaged groups an upward opportunity is the essential metaphor of "Paradise Library". The library door is open, but how many beggars dream of entering the library? This question sounds a bit picky. But I think, for the disadvantaged groups such as beggars or migrant workers, the right to seek knowledge is of course very important. More importantly, this right can not only be "starlight in the sky", but also reflect the reality of their daily necessities. Knowledge changes fate, but if knowledge only makes beggars or beggars, migrant workers or migrant workers, then this "open library" cannot be a fair step in life. We have more ideas about the library because we expect this door to become a fair resource allocation. On the one hand, a city, like a library, should open its mind to accept every soul that is warm and cold with it, provide it with a place to live and extend its endless dreams; On the other hand, public services should also take off their colored glasses. "You have no right to refuse them, but you have the right to choose to leave"-this should be the basic principle of urban public goods supply, so that the "rich club" can be turned into a "citizen club" and the life value of every dignified citizen can be realized. When the library door is opened, will the social door connecting the library remain "deep in the courtyard"? This question is not alarmist. " Radish recruitment and power genealogy are enough to undermine the open value of libraries. A pluralistic society, on the basis of acknowledging the difference between giving first and giving later, should downplay the difference between giving later-and the so-called "sharing" concept may be to abandon the utilitarian thinking of the market, let everyone flow freely with compassion, and let everyone have a dream in his heart.
