Wanyou Wenku Year: 1929-1937 Call Number: RBK1930-C00001 The Wanyou Wenku was the best-selling book series in China during the 1930s. Its content spanned a wide range of subjects, including philosophy, science, literature, and the social sciences. Embracing the principle of “not limited to a single subject, but to all knowledge,” it holds significant value in the history of printing and knowledge dissemination in China. “The salvation of our country must begin with enlightening our people’s ignorance and alleviating their suffering. The illumination of ignorance remains the sacred duty of public libraries.” The Wanyou Wenku consistently provided society with an encyclopedic library at the lowest price and in the most convenient way, offering books to the poor masses, knowledge to suffering China, and striving to save the country through academic and scientific means. 303 66
