As the world marks World Book and Copyright Day on April 23, a groundbreaking literary exchange on April 22 brought together readers from Beijing to Brazil through live video. Hosted by the State Grid Corporation of China, 'A Network of Green Power, A World of Books' linked real-time hubs in Beijing, Brazil, Chile, Pakistan, and the Hong Kong region, blending sustainability advocacy with cross-cultural storytelling. 🌱📖
Participants shared passages from their favorite authors, poetry, and personal essays, with discussions translated simultaneously into multiple languages. A Uygur student from Xinjiang recited ancient Silk Road poetry, while a Chilean engineer read Pablo Neruda's works alongside updates on renewable energy projects—mixing modern tech vibes with timeless book love. 💡✨
The event highlighted how digital tools are shrinking borders for young readers. 'It felt like a global Netflix party, but for books,' said Maria Silva, a Brazilian participant. With nearly 1,000 attendees online, organizers hope to make this an annual tradition ahead of World Book Day.
