With 1,600 exhibitors from 71 countries and regions—showcasing everything from ancient poetry to modern tech guides—this year's event proved books remain humanity's ultimate Wi-Fi connection 📡✨.
Over 1,000 cultural events sparked conversations between authors, publishers, and fans, while 2,100 copyright deals laid the groundwork for future bestsellers 💼📈. China's publishers spotlighted works tracing the nation's tech revolution, culinary traditions, and environmental innovations—think 'From Silk Road to AI Highway' meets 'Dumplings & Data Clouds' 🥟💻.
'These books aren't just pages—they're VR headsets into Chinese life,' said China Social Sciences Press president Zhao Jianying. The fair's 220,000-title collection now plants seeds for global library shelves, from Nairobi to Nashville 🌱🌎.
