tribute to a book What I want to introduce here is a picture book entitled "China". The album was published in Beijing last year (1959) to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.this is a Publications that belong to special editions cannot be bought in bookstores in Hong Kong, but in this China Map In the book fair, you can have a good time looking at it. When I first saw this picture book last fall, I was struck by its huge format, more than 500 pages It is frightened by the length of the book and the weight as heavy as the Great Wall.What's more, its binding, plate-making, arrangement,

It can be said that the printing has reached the international first-class level, and all the materials are our own domestic.This is indeed one of the best "records" of achievements in the past ten years, so there is no need for a preface, There is no need for a long explanation, the facts are in front of you, it is enough to explain everything more eloquently than anything else up.

It seems that there is no The system is actually very systematic and well-arranged.It shows our new country The ins and outs. Originally, the pictures about cultural relics should have particularly attracted my interest, but the pictures in this album

These pictures about the construction of various places and the new look of people's life are so fresh and eye-catching. I have never seen it before, so I feel that the pictures of those ancient cultural relics are a bit cold.this is me A rare experience. I am very happy that now I also have a "China" album.I believe in those who surround me Among the tens of thousands of books, no matter in terms of its content or weight, this album is undoubtedly the "compressive book". Volume "work.
