Li talked to local readers and encouraged them to learn more about the real situation in Chinese society through these books.

The China Book House is the only foreign booth among the 560 booths featured at this year's book fair, and has opened a window through which Bangladeshi readers can know about China, said Habibullah Sirajee, director general of the Bangla Academy. He added that they look to keep this window open.
