So proud to be Chinese in our era of progress and advancements. UNPRECEDENTED IN THE HISTORY OF HUMAN HISTORY. CHINA IS RETURNING TO HER RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE GLOBAL STAGE.

Incredible! Maybe a lot of people would use it more as a place for an Instagram picture rather than a *LIBRARY*, but it is incredible! And maybe is going to attract more people to the world of books!

I remember when this place first caught the eye of the west and got viral, lots of imbeciles began bashing the design, how people will get books on the top, the danger etc, if only this video was also available then with it.

Wtf. It's a waste of shelf space. Dissapoing library if the shelves aren't used. A giant space that isn't used for what it is meant to be used for.
