Midsummer 2021 is approaching. What comes to your mind upon the mention of summer? While many may think of terms like “vacation” and “relaxation”, some people choose to set aside the holiday mood for the time being and run with all their strength on the path to entrepreneurship and wealth. For them, summertime may be a talent arena, an incubator for ideas, and an experimental base for dreams.

The changes in the global environment have made it hard for young people to get a job, and the older generation of businessmen is also forced to innovate in response to changes. Both fledgling young people and veterans in the workplace have learned to be prepared for danger in times of peace. In the past two years, they have often talked about “entrepreneurial wealth”. This issue of Books and the City features an up-to-date hot topic: “Read to Broaden your Vision on the Path to Entrepreneurial Wealth”. A well-known writer on entrepreneurial wealth, a local pioneering entrepreneurial team and the successful transformation of an old shop serve as examples to give suggestions and show the right path. Moreover, many practical books from the collections of the Macao Public Library of the Cultural Affairs Bureau will assist you on your path to entrepreneurial wealth and lead you to the next level.

The “Library Portrait” interviewed U Weng Hong, the curator of small-sized themed book fairs held by the library recently. This kind of small and beautiful fair is rather an effective means of knowledge dissemination, and indeed ensures “a promising future”. The “Library Handbook” explains to readers about the “induction loop kit system”. This seemingly technical term is really an aid for the hearing-impaired to enjoy library services without any worries. The protagonist of the “Author’s Say” is Esther Chan, a local author who handles the design, writing, photography and binding of I Am Designing My Life all by herself. This daring Macao native has deeply attracted readers with her plain and down-to-earth words.

Shedding entrepreneurial sweat can also be an unforgettable scene of this summer. Open this issue of Books and the City and hit the road to entrepreneurial wealth!
