even if few lessons can be learned, Chen Shiyu and Qiu Junsi are still "brave" to get into the circle of the reality library.
Life library, as the name implies, is that a book has become a living person, text reading becomes language communication, "with the name of reading, dialogue with others, to understand a different world with their own." Chen Shiyu and Qiu Junsi studied at Peking University. All two were juniors and post-90s. The two girls from outside the city lived in Ji'nan for two and a half years and were eager to add something different to the city.
so they raised funds, searched for venues, persuaded "books", and solicited readers. In their Ithink (I think) reality library, readers can talk to Backpackers, old architects, social workers serving disadvantaged groups, porcelain dolls and professional DJ, listening to their stories, or exploring different ways of life.
[b].gt;.Gt; a "book" is limited to 5 readers every time, when time does not allow [/b]
Qiu Jun to touch his head, and she admits that before she touches this new thing, "there's no experience, so there's a lot of bends." In February 2012, there was only a real life Library in Guangzhou, called a desert island, when Chen Shiyu and Qiu Junsi made a phone call to the students who had participated in the activities, and downloaded some video and text information from foreign websites, and decided to start doing this.
build a real life library. First, we need to collect books with different life experiences, publish information on the website, make a good appointment, and then make an appointment for the readers who are interested in them. A book is limited to five readers at a time. The reading time is 45 minutes. No renewal is allowed after the time. Readers can ask any evil book any questions they want to ask, but they can not engage in personal attacks, and "books" have the right to refuse questions that they do not want to answer. "On the day of the event, the books' sit next to their respective tables, and readers sit around him and ask questions," she said. She "borrowed" a 67 year old gentleman to ask him what he could get from the trip, "and a lot of people were curious about why he came to this kind of looking young. The activity. "
they have held two real life library activities, the latest of which was at 13 in November 4th this year, when Chen Shiyu and Qiu Junsi persuaded 9 people to read "books" free of charge. There were backpackers from Beijing to Tibet, porcelain doll graduate students, workers with grass-roots residents' committees. The retired architect also has a girl named eggshell.
[b].gt;.Gt; what to read "read" from the book, each person has its own purpose [/b]
"eggshell" is a social worker in Ji'nan. She sees from the Internet that Chen Shiyu is recruiting human books, volunteered to sign up, "eggshell" frankly, she has been exposed to a lot of autism and homosexuality because of the nature of her work. It is because of this unique social experience that Chen Shiyu quickly accepts the "egg shell" as one of the real life books. "I hope that there will be some special groups in our real life books, such as migrant workers, city managers, homosexual groups, children and even sex workers, or contact them. Man. " In the two activities of
, about 40 readers chose to read "eggshell". In the event of November 4th, two young girls said they wanted to seek a spiritual support. "Because they began to have special feelings for other girls, I could see the look of expectation in their eyes. Fortunately, they were encouraged by at least six people in this reading."
this is also Chen Shiyu's original intention: "in addition to sharing life experiences, it is more important to read, let the readers reduce discrimination and eliminate some previous prejudices."
in fact, their vision has been collided with reality. In the November 4th event, a "book" called "paragraph 1", love writing had been invited to the university lectures, he had wanted to share the reasoning novel with the reader. He did not expect that his master of economic law was more attractive. In the 45 minute reading time, the readers were constantly looking for his classics: how to consult the research and how to do the examination. Before that, Chen Shiyu was even advised to go to a real book with emotional consultation, which would be quite popular.
[b].gt;.Gt; each time the reading time is limited, they expect human activities to normalize [/b]
at the beginning of 2012. When Chen Shiyu and Qiu Junsi set up a reality library, they first faced the problem of insufficient funds. They chose to collect the fundraising on a web station called "the dream net" and filmed the video. My dream has raised the first 1100 yuan of funds. Since then, Chen Shiyu has been collecting the sponsorship of various institutions, and in November 29th, they received a personal support of 1500 yuan in Hong Kong dollars through the Hongkong contemporary cultural center. She used "enough" to describe the feeling of getting the money. In fact, she and her real life library team have been doing the purpose of public welfare, but can this free reading go on?
"if we want to reduce discrimination and eliminate prejudice, the reality library must become a normal activity." "." Chen Shiyu, who has been in senior three, said she and Qiu Junsi had been a reader, and in persuading a sex worker to talk to her, Chen Shiyu talked to her for three hours. After reading the book, what was the change of Chen's idea of Chen Shi Yu? She said she had just thought these girls were mysterious and finally found not. But in just 45 minutes, it is impossible to fully understand the true state of some people. "So this activity needs to be normalized." Qiu Junsi said.
[b].gt;.Gt; next year will hold third events, want to join the Ji'nan local elements [/b]
Qiu Junsi from Guangzhou and Chen Shiyu from Hainan to live in Ji'nan for two and a half years. They say the city is different from the northern and broad living atmosphere, but a little dull. "In fact, this is also one of Ji'nan." A kind of prejudice. " At the Peking University Chiang Zhen library, two girls laughed and said they wanted to join the traditional culture of Ji'nan in the next real life library, and let folk artists and Ji'nan watchers do real life books. "Let me have the same understanding of Ji'nan as I have with more or less prejudices in Ji'nan, and see the other side of it." At the same time, they also want to open up a photographic exhibition and a volunteer area when the next real life library is held, and they are temporarily defining the theme "new public welfare, new culture".
in the interview, the teachers agree with the efforts of the two girls, but some teachers also confess that the goal of reducing discrimination, eliminating prejudice, fostering social care, and promoting social inclusion is not to be achieved by the activities of the one or two reality library, but their attempts must be a push. .
big cat, a reader who has participated in second life library activities, says he also wants to do a real life book. "A lot of people don't love cats, so you can read why I love cats, and I can listen to you why you don't love them, and then we may understand each other, and then eliminate prejudice."
