Reading: A Bridge to the Future
Commissioned piece for China Science Daily China Science Daily (2025-03-23, p. 4, General) — I am posting the original draft here The theme of World Book Day 2025 is “Reading: A Bridge to the Future” (Reading: A Bridge to the Future). Come to think of it, this formulation seems a bit strange, because the future will always arrive; no matter what we do, time will always pass, and we will always move toward the future.
