Library? No, the Holly Land!

Recently, I started to visit some of the libraries in Yale. For most of Chinese students and teachers, after coming to the foreign universities, one the most important tasks is to find some useful and rare references in their libraries. It does not mean that there are less books in our country. We have to admit that Americans' academic researches in many fields are leading the development tendency around the world. As a reason, the shcolars and universities here alwasy possess more resources than other countries.

With the swift development, China has changed greatly, not only the daily, but also the scientific research. More and more professors and scholars are frquently connecting the foreign counterparts in order to keep the same step with the world. Thus, acording to my experiences, resouces in our library can completely meet the need of research.

 

What I want to say is the common point in  China and America. Generally, students and terchers will discover that libraries are the most prominent and  magnificent building in the universities. It indicates that people have the same attitude to knowledge, which will receive the highest respect from people. As a Chinese motto goes, "knowledge has the power to change one's fate." Yes, it is true. I believe all of us will admit that even our human being's fate has, is and will be altered by knowledge. Library, as we can see from the pictures, is the holly land providing people with endless streams of knowledge.
