Egyptian readers are reading books related to Chinese learning. The fifty-fourth Cairo International Book Fair was held in Egypt from January 25 to February 6. As one of the largest international book exhibitions in the world, the theme of this book exhibition is "Together in the name of Egypt: We read, we think, and we create", attracting more than 1000 exhibitors from 53 countries and regions. Bayumi, the head of the Egyptian General Library Agency, told reporters that the book fair has five halls and will hold nearly 1000 seminars, cultural lectures and other activities, which are expected to attract more than 2.5 million visitors. At the same time, the book fair also set up a special network platform and held book promotion on different topics online. The reporter noted that this book fair has launched many high-quality books and publications, more than 90% of which are Arabic books. Books on the history, culture, literature and folk customs of Arab countries are popular with readers, and non-fiction works are more popular. Fawuqi, an employee of Cairo Power Supply Bureau, said that he was interested in history, literature, philosophy and other topics, and also liked to read the works of Najib Mahafuz, a Nobel Prize winner and Egyptian writer. He bought several books at a discount during the book exhibition. "I am very concerned about publications from China and have bought several Chinese books to help me better understand and understand Chinese culture," said Fawuqi. At this book exhibition, Hikmate Culture Group, which has published and distributed a large number of excellent Chinese books, hung a red lantern on the booth, pasted the word "Fu" and couplets, which were eye-catching and festive, attracting many visitors to stop. He told reporters: "This book is worth reading. It covers all aspects of China's political, economic and social development, and is full of ideological and philosophical nature. It helps to truly understand socialism with Chinese characteristics and the development of China, and provides an important path for us to understand China and understand China's development experience."
