The theme of World Reading Day in 2022 is scholarly China, a well-off society in an all-round way.
The keynote declaration of World Book Day is: "I hope that people scattered around the world, old and young, poor and rich, sick and healthy, can enjoy reading, respect and thank the masters of literature, culture and science who have made great contributions to human civilization, and can protect intellectual property rights."
On World Book Day, bookstores around the world will hang eye-catching celebration signs, an open book with a heart in the middle. In Spain, April 23rd is the anniversary of Cervantes' death, and it is also a popular festival in Catalonia "Saint George's Day". Legend has it that the warrior George slew a dragon to save the princess and got a gift from the princess, a book, symbolizing knowledge and strength. On this day, Catalan women will send a book to their husbands or boyfriends, and men will return a rose.
