Surely, 2014 has marked a new chapter in China's literary scene. Xing Yi reports.
New pages were added to the story of Chinese literary development this year.
Beijing's Sanlian Bookstore became the first 24-hour establishment of its kind on April 23, the 19th World Book Day, prompting Premier Li Keqiang to call it a "spiritual landmark" in a letter to its staff. About a dozen stores followed suit in such cities as Guangdong's provincial capital Guangzhou, Shaanxi's provincial capital Xi'an and Chongqing municipality.
