The 35th Moscow International Book Fair was held in an exhibition center near the red square from February 2 to 5. On the last day of the exhibition, when the reporter walked into the exhibition center, he could see more than a dozen traditional Chinese red lanterns hanging high from a long distance. Below the red lanterns was the Chinese Book booth. Over the past few days, it has attracted many local Russian readers, who have shown strong interest in Chinese books and actively bought them. Shangsi international publishing and media group is responsible for the exhibition and sales of Chinese books at this book fair. Pavel, a staff member, told the reporter that there were a variety of Chinese books at the exhibition, including language learning, literature, social sciences, children's and other categories of books. "The purpose of our exhibition is to introduce all aspects of Chinese life to Russian readers, tell about Chinese history and culture, and promote mutual understanding between the two peoples." Pavel said. Olga, 27, is reading a business Chinese. She told the reporter: "I am interested in everything in China. I started with self-study of Chinese at first, and then took several years of language training courses. Now I have passed the Chinese Proficiency Test Band 3. I also plan to study in China." Alexander holds two books in his hand, one about the origin of Chinese characters and the other about Chinese tea ceremony. Alexander, a 48 year old travel enthusiast, said that he has been to nearly 40 countries. What impressed him most was his trip to China three years ago. "I am fascinated by China's I Ching, the origin of Chinese characters, the creation myth... The long-standing Chinese culture. I will travel more to China because I think I should learn more about China.". The booth staff is recommending books about Chinese traditional dance to another reader, also called Olga. Olga, 43, told reporters that she is a professional choreographer. She studied at the Beijing Dance Academy 10 years ago and has a strong interest in Chinese traditional dance, "because it contains rich elements such as Chinese folk customs and traditional culture", "I wanted to continue to learn Chinese dance in Moscow, but I couldn't find a suitable teacher. Books on Chinese dance may be helpful to me. But if I have the opportunity, I still hope to go to China to learn more about Chinese dance.". Wearing a pink hat, Nastia is currently a first-year student at Moscow State Language University and bought a thick pile of books. She said that she planned to take Chinese as an elective next year, but she heard that Chinese was very difficult to learn, so she bought more books and did her homework in advance. "I know China is a country with a long history and rich culture. I want to know more about Chinese culture. I think it will be very interesting." She said. In front of the booth, there are an endless stream of readers with different needs. Pavel has been busy helping readers select and introduce books. He said: "there is a great demand for books about China, and they are often sold out quickly. For example, wow! Giant panda This children's book is very popular with Russian children. Besides books, notebooks, stickers and postcards with Chinese characteristics are also very popular. Due to the diversity of demand, the translation and publishing speed of Russian version of Chinese books often cannot keep up with the demand. For example, some readers hope that we can provide more Russian versions of Chinese classical literature, which is an area that needs to be strengthened in the future. " "Russia
