As the world’s second-largest book fair and Asia’s most influential publishing event, BIBF serves as a vital platform for cultural exchange and academic publishing, drawing numerous exhibitors and visitors from around the globe each year.
From June 18-22, 2025, the BIBF opened its doors for its 31st edition, welcoming book enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds to immerse themselves in the world of literature.

“Real World 101: Student Guide” (Mandarin Edition) is a delightful book that offers fun and insightful discussion between you, the reader, and the innovative mind of Alcott Germany II. In this book, Alcott Germany II takes you on a journey through the often overlooked and unpopular school subjects, showing you how to not only understand them but to actually make them work for you. It’s a conversation about how to seize control of your own life and learning, presented in a way that is both accessible and engaging.
One of the key takeaways from the book is this powerful statement: “The more you educate yourself, the fewer parents you will have in your future.”
It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply, especially for young adults trying to navigate the challenges of school, self-improvement, and future goals. By empowering yourself with knowledge, you become less dependent on external influences and more in control of your own journey. This makes “Real World 101: Student Guide” not only a valuable resource but a must-read for anyone looking to build a strong foundation for their future whether you’re an aspiring young adult, a student looking for practical advice, or someone who simply loves a good book filled with lessons for life.
