The 5-day "Reading Beijing – Beijing Publishing Group 2017 Australia Book Fair" exhibited more than 300 books published in recent years, fully demonstrating the group’s publishing strength and unique charm, and enabling Australian readers and industry colleagues to read Beijing culture in their country and understand contemporary Chinese social development.

　　Around the “Reading Beijing • Royal Architecture and Mansion House” picture exhibition held in Sydney’s Ashfield City Hall, the group invited Dr. Liu Shanshan from the School of Architecture and Art of Beijing Jiaotong University and Xia Chenggang, a research expert on Chinese garden culture, to make thematic lectures respectively titled “Daily Life in Beijing Courtyard" and "Interpretation of Beijing Royal Gardens". The audience said that these were the two most sincere, practical and rewarding lectures in the "going global" activities of Chinese culture in recent years.

　　The dialogue on Chinese and Australian literature and culture between Chinese woman writer Ren Xiaowen, born in 1970s, Australian writer Charlotte Moreto and Yang Xiwen a writer from New Zealand was also warmly welcomed by local readers. In addition, Ren Xiaowen's middle school teacher, a 90-year-old man who has been living in Sydney for many years, made a special trip to listen to his student's lecture with his family. The atmosphere was warm and the audience interacted enthusiastically with the writers.

　　Australia News, Australia Daily and Sing Tao Daily introduced the book fair in advance, and gave consecutive reports during the event, which greatly enhanced the popularity and influence of "Beijing Publishing Group" in Australia. Mainstream domestic media such as People's Daily Online, Guangming Daily, Global Times, China Press and Publication, China News, Phoenix.com, Sina.com, Qianlong.com and other media also reported the event, once again increasing the influence and reputation of the group.

　　During the book fair, the representatives of the group also visited the Australian Publishers Association, conducted negotiations on copyright with a number of Australian and New Zealand publishers, and reached copyright cooperation intentions on children, Chinese culture, literature and other categories of books.
