A survey of reading habits shows adult Chinese read 7.78 books a year on average(平均), and children and teenagers under 17 read 8.81 books, according to survey results released on Wednesday in Beijing. This year’s survey, the 15th edition, was conducted and released by Chinese Academy of Press and Publication starting in 1999. The survey focused on the data in 2017.
“Compared with 2016, growth was stable,” said Xu Shengguo, a member of the academy’s research team. “We see it is the result of government efforts. It also shows the reading platforms are different. Besides books in print, there are e-books on computers, smartphones and kindles.”
Xu said although the number is still rising, the average of books Chinese people read are outnumbered by Japan with 11, South Korea with 9, France with 8 and the United States with 7.
The survey found 67.5 percent of urban residents(城市居民)had a habit of reading books in 2017, while 49.3 rural residents(农村居民)did. In recent years, digital reading has grown in the countryside.
73 percent of adult Chinese read digitally, including online, mobile, digital readers and smart phones, compared to 68.2 percent in 2016.
When it comes to favorite types of books, Chinese readers love literature most, followed by lifestyle, history and psychology. As for digital reading, urban love stories are the most popular, followed by history/military, literature classics and fantasy.
