On September 6th, 2006, he wrote an article "The Road to Saving the University's Business" in the magazine "New Youth Weighing". He thinks that the degree of reform and opening up in China's universities is too low, which is the "last bastion of planned economy". He proposed a "virtual university" scheme, but there was no actual response. As a result, the idea of establishing an Internet-based, online and offline university emerged. After some attempts, the experiment ran aground and became the text of the open university planning book left in the computer. After working in Liren Library for several years, Yingqiang Li saw that a large number of young people were in a state of emptiness and confusion after going to college. He hoped to help students who had established good habits of independent reading, independent learning and independent thinking under the influence of Liren Library to continue in this direction, so he started Liren University Plan.

In 2007, he established the first rural library named "Liren" in Qingshi Town, Qichun County, Hubei Province.

In September, 2007, we started the "Farmer's Bookstore" project with friends such as,,, and Dao.

On June 5438+February 65438+July 2007, Huang Kan Library, the first branch of Liren Library, was established in Qingshi Town.

In autumn of 2008, he was invited to open a new branch in Bazhong, Sichuan, Mr. Yan's hometown. The school that talked about cooperation earlier suddenly changed its mind and contacted cooperative schools everywhere, all of which were questioned. Several good intentions and signed contracts were temporarily overturned. At that time, he felt a little "acclimatized", but later he was lucky enough to get the support of two principals, so that their plan to open only one branch in Sichuan became to open two at the same time.

In the spring of 2009, Liren * * * had four branches. Even Yingqiang Li and his wife had only five employees, but two colleagues offered to leave at the same time. Fortunately, there were three franchisees soon, which saved the day and created conditions for the establishment of the fifth branch.

By the end of 20 10, five "Liren" branch libraries had set up mobile book stations one after another, and books "flowed" to counties or villages. The mobile library set up by the second branch library is located in three rural primary schools. A primary school principal was so happy that he urged him several times and even found a car to pull books from the library.

20 1 1 In May, Liren issued an enrollment order for "Summer University", which will bring together famous scholars such as Liu Yu, Zhang Jian and Xiong Peiyun to discuss with young people what a real university education is. In 17 provinces and cities across the country, the number of applicants exceeded 100, among which 80 students were able to go to school through screening, and even a high school student rode 340 kilometers from Henan to Qingshi Town in Qichun, Hubei Province for four consecutive days.

2011165438, China youth daily (version 12), issue 8 17, used a long space to report the story of Yingqiang Li, a graduate of Peking University, who founded the rural library, which attracted people's attention.
