"It's an old library
But being ancient doesn't mean it's backward
It is located on the southwestern border
But it's always been at the center of culture."
——The current director of Heshun Library, Tsutomu

The current curator, Tsutomu
Three generations of the family have worked in the library
In his eyes
Heshun Library is a magical place
In a frontier town of less than 8,000 people
Nearly 3,000 people applied for library cards
The rural customs of cultivating and reading heirlooms are passed down from generation to generation here
Not long since
The library is sourcing books from as far away as Shanghai
Detour burma with horse gangs to Hoa Shun
But the thirsty Heshun librarians never felt far away

The Heshun Library also has many unchanging insistences
Free open, use-oriented concept of the museum
Reader-centric, reader-source management requirements
There is also the persistent belief in books by generations of Hoshun librarians

In 1994, the Heshun Library was changing and not changing
The smell of books is fascinating
As Professor Deng Zhonghan described in "Books Everywhere"
"It has a low eaves, but it has attracted many celebrities who stand tall and wear history books
It's not a big house, but the doors and windows are open, and the breeze convection is very clean
It inculcates the fragrance of the front and back of the house, the neighborhood is harmonious everywhere."
