The donated books bring together the cultural characteristics of Xiangyang, are close to the lives of students, and can enable students to better understand and love Xiangyang. Zhang Jintong, a student representative, said that these books are the crystallization of the wisdom of their predecessors, and they are their hard work for the growth of the next generation and the future of the next generation. Taking over the books read by the predecessors is not only to inherit the red gene, but also to carry forward the revolutionary spirit. Students will cherish these books and let them continue to pass on in their hands, experience the charm of Xiangyang, feel the charm of Chujing, comprehend the excellent traditional Chinese culture, enhance cultural self-confidence, cultivate the feelings of family and country, and finally assume the important task of realizing the great rejuvenation of China.
