Zhao Chunhong told reporters that she came back with a large number of books on education, and the next day she opened a shop in only 30 square meters. A book corner has been opened in the barber shop. This book corner has changed the way many mothers educate themselves; several books such as "Appreciate Your Children" were torn through and wrapped in beautiful transparent book covers by careful readers. The little carpenters in the village took the initiative to make new bookshelves. Some villagers also put their own collections of books in the "Book Drifting Spot".
In one year and seven months, the small "Book Floating Point" floated a total of 2,100 books, with a return rate of over 90%. With the help of the book floating team, the book corner is constantly updated and enriched. The books that floated out not only floated back, but also brought back more books.

Zhao Chunhong has improved her writing skills in the process of reading. She has published many essays and novels in newspapers and periodicals as a junior high school student, and she has gained a sense of happiness.
