2019 Annual Book Fair

The focus of this year's Book and Reading Culture Week was that the 2019 Annual Book Fair was inspired by a politician named Benjamin Franklin’s saying: "Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75". This implies that some young people have lost their passion, enthusiasm, and happiness at the age that is supposedly the most beautiful phase of a lifetime. One of the best ways to alleviate and escape "mental death" at the age of 20 is to read books. To that end, the 2019 Annual Reading Book was organized to promote the reading spirit in individuals. With the participation of several publishers of varying sizes such as Nha Nam, Thai Ha with up to 30-40% discounts, the event drew the participation of numerous people on April 18, 2019. There were other such appealing activities at the Book Fair as games, tarot reading, and souvenir booths.
