Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
On Sept 23, 1983, construction of a new Beijing Library began in western Beijing. It had been proposed earlier by then-premier Zhou Enlai.
It was the China's largest library at the time, with a total floor space of 140,000 square meters.
