When Tie Ning, still a child, cherishedly read world classics obtained with great difficulty from a paper mill, when Zhou Meisen was deeply attracted by a "Balzac" discovered by an elderly ragpicker, with dozens of pages missing from both ends; when Han Jingting secretly took books from the library that were sealed, copied Tang, Song, Chu, and Han poetry, strung them together with thread to make "books," and read them; when Chen Zude listened to Jack London's "A Slice of Steak" on the radio, read Nakae Chomin's "Six Months in the Open," and overcame cancer, returning to the chessboard — at that moment, we can truly feel the power books bring to people.
