Yang Lu, a former librarian in Chengdu, Sichuan's provincial capital, regarded Wu's story as the epitome of well-developed public services and the wisdom of urban governance in the Pearl River Delta region, where the public library makes a living embodiment.

– En muista, mitä viimeksi luin. En oikein enää lue huvin vuoksi, Wang sanoo.
Tilastojen mukaan kiinalaiset lukevat vielä kansainvälisesti verrattuna paljon, keskimäärin kahdeksan tuntia viikossa. Elektroniset kirjat ovat kuitenkin vallanneet vauhdilla markkinoita painetuilta niteiltä.
