With the development of technology (科技) and the Internet, audiobooks (有声图书) are becoming popular in reading. More people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days, according to this year’s national reading report.

The report shows that audiobooks become quite popular among most readers. In 100 adults, more than 30 listen to audiobooks. They mainly use popular audio sharing platforms like Ximalaya.

Kids are also main users in the development of audiobooks. Ximalaya said that teenagers spent several times as much money on audiobooks as they did last year.

What’s more, around 26. 8% of children under eight years old listen to audiobooks. Most of them listen at least once a week. “Stories for kids” and “poetry reading” are their favorite.

Why do audiobooks become so popular? One of the reasons is that people hope not to waste their free time, as China News Service reported. Whether they are at the gym, on a bus or in bed, people can enjoy reading without a heavy paper book or e-reader. Faster Internet speeds mean one can download (下载) a whole book in just seconds (秒).

Another reason is that audio app designers invited broadcasters (播音员) and production (制作) groups to join in their production. Both the quality (质量) and the number of audiobooks improved a lot. More people can find their favorite audiobooks, as a report says.

Zhou Hui is a young girl. When she was 4, she was badly hurt in a car accident. She lost her right leg. People got to know her recently when they saw her video of doing exercise with her artificial (人造的) leg.

Although Zhou now looks no different from other people, she once felt terrible about herself. “When I was in high school, no one knew I had an artificial leg,” She said. I never stayed close to my classmates. I was the first person to walk into the classroom in the morning and the last one to leave.

But now she lives a happy life. For the past three years, she has kept doing exercise. She went to the gym three times a week to stay fit. During the three years’ hard work, she overcame many difficulties. For example, she couldn’t use the fitness facilities (健身器材) like other people in the beginning. But she kept trying and finally she succeeded.

Zhou became outgoing. She volunteers for a program for the disabled. In November, 2020, she became the ambassador (大使) for Shenzhen Accessibility Promotion Association. She believes that building a neighborhood for disabled people is really important.

“Doing exercise has changed me, and I’ll try my best to make sure people with disabilities can go out without difficulties,” Zhou said.
