It has often been said that reading is a journey of the mind.

The Shinan district of Qingdao city in East China's Shandong province launched a reading event – the "N+ Bookshop" Urban Night Reading – to promote reading through livestreaming recently.

Let's check out one of the sharing stories of the event – Sand and Stars.

This is a story about the relationship between a father and his son, the growing up of teenagers and about the protection of their homes.  

The story not only explores the emotions between people, but also describes how people get along with animals and nature, by depicting a picture of human beings interacting with the natural world.
