Features: Years of collecting books, the joys and sorrows of it are like fish drinking water—nobody knows but the fish. Whenever it's deep in the night and quiet, flipping through old books, the numerous book collector's seals on the first page silently narrate the inheritance and fate of this book, telling the joys and sorrows of collectors who painstakingly gathered and scattered books. The inheritance of national culture, the summary of historical experience, the recording of anecdotes and interesting stories—all of this relies on books. Although it is said that "paper lasts a thousand years," among all cultural relics, books are the easiest to be destroyed and the most difficult to preserve.—Wei Li
