The organizer of the event said: "The construction of the rural bookstore is a real, visible, tangible, real, retained, and well-managed rural cultural front. The organizers hope that through this event, they will give full play to the exemplary role of "My Book House, My Dream" in the construction of national reading and spiritual civilization, guide rural children in the province to cultivate good reading habits from an early age, and improve the reading ability and cultural quality of rural children in the province. At the same time, it is also hoped that with the joint efforts of all departments at all levels, we will continue to explore the "Rural Bookstore +" service model, solve the "last mile" problem of rural bookstore services, and make the Rural Bookstore truly become the main position of rural public cultural services, a booster to promote rural revitalization, and a "gas station" to improve the quality of rural youth.
On the same day, the organizer donated books to Aixiang Academy, injecting fresh "cultural blood" into the rural bookstore. The children of Fu'an Vocational and Technical School and Xitan Central Primary School brought wonderful performances such as the sitcom "We in Love Hometown Academy", poetry recitation "The Beauty of Chinese" and children's chorus, which heated up the atmosphere of the scene. Qiu Xiaogan, deputy director of the Propaganda Committee of the Fujian Provincial Customs Working Committee and member of the Fujian Writers Association, shared the wonderful reading of the bookstore and sent a message to children: "Make friends with good books, read books with words, books without words, and books of the soul, and strive to be good students in the new era." Xiao Shihua, an outstanding teacher in Fujian Province, shared his reading experience on the spot, and encouraged the children to enrich their inner world through reading and boost their cultural self-confidence.
The book house contains wisdom, and practice brings true knowledge. After the sharing activities, Aixiang Academy also carried out intangible cultural heritage experience activities such as tie-dyeing, paper-cutting and papermaking. Through hands-on practice, children can fully experience the charm of traditional skills. This activity not only provided a platform for rural children to exchange and learn, but also made them feel the meaning of reading, and created a strong atmosphere of enjoying reading and talking about their dreams.
It is reported that the construction of rural bookstores in Fujian Province began in 2007, was fully rolled out in 2008, and was fully completed in 2013. At present, there are 14,433 rural bookstores in all villages (administrative villages) in the province. In recent years, Fujian Province has gathered the strength of all parties to improve the service efficiency of rural bookstores by deepening reform and innovation, and combined with the construction of rural civilization practice centers, it has achieved remarkable results in promoting the further integration of rural public cultural resources, standardizing construction standards, improving the mechanism of supplementing and updating publications, promoting digital construction, strengthening the construction of administrators, improving the utilization rate of rural bookstores, and carrying out rich and colorful reading activities.
At present, Fujian Province vigorously promotes national reading, continuously strengthens the ideological and moral education of teenagers and children, and actively builds the rural bookstore into a "cultural granary" serving rural revitalization based on the advantages of local resources. The Fujian Provincial Press and Publication Bureau and the Fujian Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will take this event as an opportunity to continue to implement the important deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on deepening the national reading activities, carry out a variety of reading practice activities in an orderly manner, improve the service efficiency of the rural bookstore, and actively build an important position for the construction of rural ideology and culture and the revitalization of rural culture, so that the rural bookstore will become a spiritual paradise and a second classroom for rural children.
