"I collected more than 130 chapters at the Jiangsu Book Fair", "I met Ma Boyong at the Book Fair", "I bought a set of "Wang Zengqi's Little Complete Works" in one go, and the price was very affordable", "I took my children to read the book for several days", ...... From July 5th to 9th, the 14th Jiangsu Book Fair was held in Suzhou. As in previous years, the Suzhou International Expo Center, where the book fair was held, attracted a lot of popularity. When you come to the Jiangsu Book Fair, it seems that everyone can do something they want to do and buy something they want to buy.
For the ninth time, Suzhou and Jiangsu Book Fair embraced each other affectionately. Each time it is more enthusiastic, each time it is more skillful, and this time, more possibilities for urban reading are unlocked again.
Everyone has found the "Book Circle" here
At the beginning of the summer vacation of 2024, the Jiangsu Book Fair is here again. Parents are happy, because there is a place to go for "walking the baby" - children's books, picture albums, and teaching aids from various publishing houses, which are enough; When the child smiled, not only did he have enough books, but he could also build blocks, make dinosaurs, and wear equipment in front of each booth to enter the VR world; Young friends are also very excited, in addition to wanting to buy a few good books at a low price to read them, they also want to come to the book fair to play a card, collect a chapter, publish a film, and stock up on some interesting cultural and creative products.
The Jiangsu Book Fair, which has been held in Suzhou for 9 years, is like a "city flash mob" that returns every year for a limited time, but its scale and rich content give it a meaning similar to a kaleidoscope and a treasure bag. A large exhibition with "books" as the core concept, wrapped in many small exhibitions, came to everyone: there is a textbook exhibition of the People's Education Publishing House, which exhibits different textbooks used by several generations, and uses a "memory kill" to stir up the youthful ripples of different people; There are special exhibitions of popular comics such as "Slam Dunk" and "Detective Conan", and the walls are full of cherry blossom roads and Conan for comic fans to check in and take pictures; There is also a dinosaur world and a science maze, which open up a "different dimension" in the exhibition hall, making children forget to return......
This "city flash mob" is also an exhibition in itself, showing the overlapping identities of Suzhou and the "Book State", which is a two-way rush between Suzhou people and books. Entering the Suzhou International Expo Center, as far as the eye can see, it is full of people and books, or finding, or turning, or reading, or buying, in short, it is full of fun. Ma Boyong's "The Eater of the South" was out of stock, Qin Ming's "White Scroll" was popular, "Wang Zengqi's Little Works" sold one set after another, and Hemingway and Marquez, who were in a corner of the country, were also found by interested book lovers and happily carried home...... The expression of joy was transmitted and amplified in the exhibition hall, and then sublimated into the expression that best summed up this year's Book Fair.
A "Soviet-style circle" that condenses the city's humanity
At the Jiangsu Book Fair, there are infinite possibilities for reading. For 9 consecutive years, the "Soviet-style circle" that condensed the city's humanities quietly grew at the book fair. "Walk into the Book Fair, Read Suzhou" has also become a very attractive banner and logo of the Jiangsu Book Fair.
The "Scholarly Suzhou" Pavilion is naturally the face of this "Soviet-style circle", which has attracted countless people to check in in the past few days, and on July 6, the discussion on the writing of the "Su" character in the Scholarly Suzhou Pavilion topped the list of Weibo Suzhou City. Suzhou Press and Publishing Group's Gu Wu Xuan Publishing House brought out the rich greenery of the city, and brought activities such as engraving printing experience, Yangtze River Grand Canal research, and Supai bonsai on-site production to the "Scholarly Suzhou" Pavilion. In the antique bookstore area on the side, a volume of ancient books spreads out the history of Suzhou City page by page for visitors to enjoy.
In addition to the "Scholarly Suzhou" Museum, Suzhou elements are also full of local displays. On the new book fair market in Hall A of Suzhou International Expo Center, the miniature model of Canglang Pavilion with mortise and tenon structure has been popular among children, the Kunqu Opera refrigerator magnet of Baihua Book Company has been liked by literary and artistic youths, and the mini version of Supai bonsai with a pot of 20 yuan has been popular among young people. Last year's popular stamp collection activity is becoming more and more popular this year, and various publishing houses have urgently produced Suzhou City Stamp Sets to attract book lovers who are keen to check in.
A city and a book fair embrace each other affectionately this summer. So, in recent days, when foreign netizens ask on the Internet "a good place to travel to Suzhou", there will be waves of "tap water" - "Go to Suzhou and visit the Jiangsu Book Fair".
