The idea of building a reading room for the community of Mr. Bui Phi Diep (standing) is precious, worth cherishing in today's society.

 When there is a huge "treasure", people usually keep for themselves, but Mr. Bui Phi Diep has done different things. This comes from the mind of a book lover. He said: "When I was young, I loved to read books, but it was very difficult to get a book, to get a good book was much more difficult. Therefore, to get more books for reading, we usually exchanged by the way that every one of us read a book and exchanged to each other every day. As a book lover, I kept and collected many good books since I was small. As I had a lot of books, I have more friends to come and read my books. Since then, I always thought about the idea of ​​building a free book reading room for everyone. Because a good book becomes more meaningful when there are more readers.

From that idea, in 2011, when he was Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Yen Tri Commune, he was lucky to have the chance to join the delegation of the history professor Le Van Lan when he returned to Yen Tri for finding archeological sites. He was being shared a lot by the professor at that time. He said: In his story, Professor Le Van Lan said he has a lot of documents, books and newspapers. Most of them are precious documents about history, ethnology, sociology. If the professor passes away, all the books will be burned out. On hearing that, I felt sorry and boldly proposed to him that I would build a free reading room for children in the house and the local people in the near future. On hearing this, the professor agreed to transfer a part of his existing books with 500 books to Bui Phi Diep to open a free reading room for local people. In addition, with his relationship, Mr. Bui Phi Diep has mobilized organizations and individuals to donate more than 200 books, increasing the total number of books in the reading room to more than 700 books with the full types for all subjects, from children's books to research books, famous masterpiece, etc.

To realize the idea, in 2012, he boldly borrowed money from the bank and mobilized his relatives to invest in building a spacious reading room with an area of 250 m2, totally invested nearly 700 million VND. As a result, his reading room has become a familiar destination for many people in the village, commune and surrounding areas.
