On April 21, the All-China Women’s Federation and State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) held the official launch ceremony for a 2017 family reading initiative.

A short film was broadcast at the ceremony, summarizing the results of the initiative so far. Ambassadors for the initiative, Xu Ying and Chen Geng, introduced the proposal to representatives of participating families, detailing the positive effects of parents and children reading together. Among others, Xu and Chen noted that reading with their parents gives children a sense of familial affection and happiness. A list of 210 titles that are suitable for parent-child reading were also released at the ceremony.

Song Xiuyan, vice president and first member of the secretariat of the All-China Women’s Federation, attended the ceremony, along with Zhou Huilin, vice bureau chief of SARFT.

Song pointed out during an interview that World Book Day 2017, which fell on April 23, is an ideal catalyst for families and society as a whole to embrace literature, working together to ensure that each and every family has the opportunity to read together. This, Song explained, will benefit countless households and children across the country.
