As part of the ongoing 2026 Shanghai Book Fair, Sinan Literature Month transforms historic mansions into a vibrant stage for global storytelling. The event runs until September and offers free entry to the public. Renowned authors and passionate readers from around the world are coming together here to explore a core question: what makes literature a universal force? Join CGTN's Zhang Siran to listen to these diverse voices on the power of the written word to define our shared human experience.
