**Special Feature for World Book Day** At Egerton University in Kenya, Chinese books illuminate a cross-cultural journey
As the world celebrates World Book Day on April 23, a dedicated group of readers at Egerton University in Kenya finds their passion for Chinese books shining like stars, guiding their exploration of diverse cultures. Faculty and students alike are captivated by China’s history, literature, and philosophy, forging an unbreakable bond with the country through the pages of its books.
In Egerton University’s library, the Chinese book section is always bustling with activity. Students lose themselves in the opulent world of “Dream of the Red Chamber,” drawn to the wisdom of “The Analects,” while teachers delve into “Chinese History” to trace the threads of Eastern civilization. They assert that these books open new windows to understanding China’s millennia-old culture.
“I became fascinated with Chinese books through my curiosity about Traditional Chinese Medicine,” says student Joseph Mwangi, who is currently studying the “Huangdi Neijing.” “These books not only teach me knowledge but also reveal the wisdom and profound cultural heritage of the Chinese people.”
Similarly, Professor Amy Mutua remarks that by reading contemporary Chinese novels, such as Mo Yan and Yu Hua’s works, she gains insight into China’s societal transformations. “Books are bridges that enable conversations with Chinese hearts, even from thousands of miles away,” she reflects.
At Egerton University, Chinese books have become a vital link in the cultural exchange between Kenya and China. The institution regularly hosts book clubs and seminars on Chinese themes and collaborates with Chinese publishers to introduce more academic works and literature about China, catering to the growing interest of its students and faculty.
On World Book Day, the enthusiasm and exploration of Egerton University’s community demonstrate how reading transcends borders and builds bridges of friendship through the written word. Their love for Chinese books serves as a vibrant and genuine reflection of global cultural exchange.
