Bookshelves turn the page

An interviewee surnamed Yan told Beijing Daily, "We have quite a lot of time in the whole day, which is sufficient to read a short essay, like when we are waiting for dinner. If there is a bookshelf nearby, then I believe many people are willing to read."

A woman surnamed Zhao took her nephew for a dinner, and when she was waiting for the dishes, she opened the menu and taught the little boy to read. "Reading habits should be fostered since childhood, and grown-ups should set an example."
