Source: Shanghai Daily | January 17, 2016, Sunday | Print Edition

AS the New Delhi World Book Fair has begun in the Indian capital, all roads seem to lead toward the city’s Pragati Maidan, a vast venue designed for exhibitions. Book lovers, young and old, are making a beeline to the halls, which are showcasing a wide array of books and cultural activities.

This year, the guest of honor is China, which has set up a beautifully designed pavilion spread across 1,200 square meters at hall number 7.

At the pavilion, visitors walk through the chambers housing hundreds of Chinese books translated into English displayed on its shelves.

“It is really good to be part of this book fair,” said Yin Yamin, Rights Manager, Intellectual Property Publishing House.

“We want to introduce our concept of publishing in India and offer our help to the publishers here in understanding the patent literature publishing.”

More than 250 Chinese delegates including publishers and authors are participating in the book fair.

Around 5,000 Chinese books will be showcased in the nine-day long fair and books translated from Mandarin into English and Hindi are conspicuously on display.

The visiting publishers from China hope to strengthen their ties with India by providing a glimpse into China’s culture and knowledge. “We want more and more people to visit us, read our books and understand them. People in India can read our work and see how we have moved forward,” said Yolanda Liu, vice director of China Renmin University Press.
