Beijing, 22 April 2025 – To celebrate the 30th World Book Day, the Seniors University of China (SUC) organised an intergenerational reading event, attracting over 3 million elderly participants nationwide.

Professor YAO Xishuang from the Communication University of China, led a thematic session focused on "Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains".
