Features: Here, the living and the dead coexist in the same room; here, defense and rebuttal are inseparable, like twins; here, suspicion and conviction, exploration and discovery, stand shoulder to shoulder; here, centenarians and short-lived people live patiently and peacefully, without discrimination. The voice of humanity leaps across rivers, mountains, and oceans, reaching the library. This voice comes from the edge of billions of years! — Tagore
