He recommended 10 books for the World Book Day a couple of years ago, too. He once said that university students have more disposable time without pressure and disturbance from work and family affairs, they should cherish time and enrich, develop, and perfect themselves through reading.
CUG has long been committed to promote reading among all the teachers and students, and various kinds of reading activities are carried out all year round, creating an atmosphere of reading good books on campus.
