Library shows how a dream can transform a community, Wang Ru and Shi Baoyin report.

Li Cuili was regarded as kind of a "weirdo" when she decided to open a library at her convenience store providing books for villagers to read for free in 2008.

While others were busy making a living, Li, a farmer who later opened a store in Lishi village, Neihuang county, Anyang, Henan province, thought bigger and wanted to improve the cultural atmosphere in the village through the power of books.

That wish initially came from a mother's love for her child. That year, she watched a performance at her village with her son. To her surprise, the show was vulgar and unsuitable for children.
