One of the most anticipated annual events is The Bookworm’s Annual Literary Festival (BLF), a celebration of literature and ideas that includes 300+ events across eight cities in China. A 16 day festival that shines a spotlight on over 120 Chinese and international writers, thinkers and artists, this is an incredible, mind-expanding program of book talks, panel discussions, writing workshops and performances.
