The book fair has taken place annually since    2    (it) launch in 2004, except for 2021, when the event    3    (cancel) because of COVID-19.

“People tell me that every year when the Shanghai Book Fair opens, they feel as if they are hearing alarm clocks ringing, reminding them about the    4    (important) and benefits of reading,” says Xu Jiong, head of the municipal bureau for press and publication.
