"With good books, even in a small space, you can go to heaven and earth, soar far and wide, and travel through ancient and modern times." "I would like to send you a sentence that Mr. Yang Dai said: Use the feelings of life to read, and use the income from reading to live." The reading story shared by writer Zhao Lihong and actor Hu Ge unveiled the curtain of the special event of "Art Rising forward" cloud reading, heart connection, and jointly observing "Shanghai" - the night above • 423 World Book Day.
The "Night of the Picture Above" held on World Book Day has lasted for several years and has become an expectation for readers, and April 23 this year was also the day when the new Shanghai Library East Library met with the public. The epidemic broke the normal rhythm of the city, and the "night above" was moved from offline to online without missing an appointment. The "Night of the Picture Above" broadcast on multiple platforms connects the hearts of readers with cloud reading. In order to commemorate the "Year of Literary Miracles" in 1922, readers of different professional identities were invited to read a number of classic reading fragments: the fragment of Alice's Wandering Wonderland, which was first translated and published in Chinese translation in 1922 by the host of Shanghai Radio, which was vivid and wonderful; Li Dazhao's "Youth", which was recited by college students at East China Normal University, was full of vitality; and the Shakespeare play "Hamlet" performed by Tong Ruixin, a national first-class actor, was passionate. Different readers gather to recite, transmitting the power of reading.
Virtual idol Luo Tianyi became the reading promotion ambassador of Shanghai Library, and met with readers for the first time in the "Night of the Picture Above", showing the attitude of Shanghai Library to seek innovation and change. The upcoming trial opening of the Shangtu East Library is committed to the exploration of people-centered libraries and a new generation of libraries, from ordinary reading services to reading ecological construction, from simple reading tool services to reading platform construction, showing the reading mood of "reading people, reading city, reading world" and "reading texts, reading art, reading technology". The East Pavilion will also be one of the largest public libraries in the world with the largest scale of newly opened artworks and the largest participation of artists. The East Library has also created different application scenarios for readers to touch the smart library at all times, such as the next generation library service platform "Yunhan" and the first full reservation system in the domestic library industry.
At the event, Chen Chao, director of Shanghai Library, released the theme of the 2022 Reading Season - Reading Dim Sum Lamp, Square Inch Galaxy. The new reading season will launch the 1922 "Year of Literary Miracles" series of activities, focusing on relevant classic writers and works, conforming to the general trend of public library service activities in the era of big reading, and creating various cross-border new reading experience services.
With the advent of the all-media era, the media forms are becoming more diverse, the content forms are becoming more diverse, and the reading experience is more novel and diversified. In order to promote the "Digital Reading Promotion Plan", Shanghai Library has formed a strategic cooperative relationship with Tencent Music and Reading Group, and will launch a series of "Reading for All" series of promotional activities to promote the "Online Literature Good Book List", and Reading and Tencent Music have also launched corresponding exemption services to meet the reading needs of more readers.
At the end of the "Night above", the musician Lowe's work "Prayer for Blessings" conveys the voice of every participant. In the critical period of Shanghai's fight against the epidemic, reading unites strength, connects you and me, and hopes that great works will give life more confidence and strength.
