Readers Read in the East Hall of Shanghai Library, China

Readers read in the East Hall of Shanghai Library, the largest single building area in China, in Shanghai, China, January 29, 2024. The art sculpture "Bird Flies" is composed of the word "bird" written in 816 different "English square characters". "English block characters" is a new form of writing in English created by artist Xu Bing, which looks like Chinese but is actually English. It means that reading and learning through the library can break the framework of thinking without limits. "Companionship" reminds people of the water droplets in Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "The Three-Body Problem", which implies that knowledge is power, and accumulation can break through the limitations of thinking.
