At the ceremonial handover, not only a Chinese delegation attended, but also the first future readers — students from the Chinese language group of the Bethlen School.
According to the Deputy Mayor, Chinese book culture, through its development of paper and printing, preceded Western culture by centuries, and remains of an exceptionally high standard today, as evidenced by the beautiful editions that have arrived in Debrecen.
