I love literary London and walking along Bloomsbury streets where writers once lived and made history by writing books that left a lasting impression on the human consciousness. I would like to go on a similar tour like this in Hangzhou, China and learn about what inspired the literary Chinese to create Butterfly Lovers and Madame White Snake.
It is unfortunate that I have more knowledge about the western world than the eastern world although my family originated from the east. I could blame communism and China’s closed doors policy for that gulf but I hope in future more interest and preservation of the Chinese culture will be explored.
I am officially exhausted after three days of hyper excitement. I have finally collapsed in bed and admit defeat for exploring too much in a short time. They said that the writers in Bloomsbury had relationships in triangles but lived in squares. The tour only proved novelists were wacky, and poets drove lovers to madness, editors pissed everyone off. We ended the tour in the British Museum, which was the former book depository.
Amazing how they kept every copy of every book printed in the gardens. Now books are electronic now and it is not necessary to store hard copy books. I joke with my dad sometimes if William Somerset was alive would he have imagined that people are reading his books on electronic readers.
There are about 55 000 books published each year online (I think this are the numbers but correct me if I am wrong). No library in the world can store so much books but now, everything is stored on the cloud depositary. The cloud may be humans best invention to date. Imagine the number of forests and trees being saved. Imagine so much information is available in a swipe. I love this world we live in now where information is so accessible.
