The 18th China (Fujian) Book Fair, hosted by Straits Publishing and Distribution Group, was held on the 10th at the Xinhua Bookstore in Sydney, Australia.
The book fair showcased more than 400 kinds of fine Chinese books, including books reflecting Chinese traditional culture, fine arts, children's books and books with Fujian's cultural characteristics, including books with themes such as "Escaping Poverty". The theme of the event is to carry forward the excellent Chinese culture, promote cultural exchanges and publishing cooperation between China and Australia, and showcase more books with Fujian's unique culture and traditional folk culture.
In order to bring a richer and more diverse reading experience to Sydney's reading enthusiasts, the Straits Publishing and Distribution Group donated nearly 100 kinds of Fujian edition fine books to the Hurstville Library in Sydney. These books mainly include the "Wisdom of Fujian People" series, the "World Heritage of Fujian" series, the "Blue Fujian, Striving for Strength by the Sea" series, the "Illustrated Fujian and the Maritime Silk Road" series, as well as "Fujian Sees Fortune", "Ten Years of Fujian", "National Treasure Tianhuang", "History of Chinese Lacquer Art", "This is Chinese Scientists", "The Wonderful World of Materia Medica - Encyclopedia of Materia Medica for the Twenty-Four Solar Terms" and other excellent books that spread Chinese culture and reflect the development of modern China. This donation not only enriched the collection resources of the Hurstville Library, but also provided a window for local readers to deeply understand Chinese culture and experience Chinese civilization.
