After a hard day's work in the potato fields, Shi Zhengchang rushes back to his single-story brick house in the village of Lijiabao, Gansu province, for a quick supper before opening his doors to fellow villagers.
For Shi is also the community librarian.
Farmers in the village, young and old, all head to Shi's home to read and borrow books, newspapers and magazines.
