Features: On April 5, 2002, during the evaluation period for cultural advanced counties, Mr. Wang Xinmin traveled across dozens of counties and districts in Shaanxi Province, selecting and evaluating, and wrote a diary-style book titled "Riding Through the Cultural Market" (also known as "Riding Through the Book Forest") with over 50,000 words. The book conducted thorough research on the prosperity and decline of the book market, the spread of pornography and illegal publications, the competition between state-owned bookstores and individual small stalls, as well as the interests and reasons behind them. It explored why the market prospered or declined, why pornography and illegal publications persist despite bans, and proposed strong opinions on how genuine books can better serve readers. The book includes reflections, suggestions, solutions, and pathways.
