Xinhua Dictionary

In addition to the classics and masterpieces mentioned above, there is also one small and humble book that once nourished the mind of Xi.

When Xi lived and worked in the countryside, Xi would read books during the intervals of his farm work or while his sheep were grazing.

One of the books he always took along with him was Xinhua Dictionary, which is the most popular dictionary in China.

Xi said when he had a break after hoeing the field for a while, he would take out the dictionary to study the different meanings of a word, and then learn the new word by heart after going back to work. In this way, his knowledge gradually expanded.
