Zhu Yingchun gave his first lecture of 2020 at Ningbo Library as part of the Tianyi Lecture Series. In a world where paper books are rapidly being replaced by digital ones, he discussed the books written by nature, which provide an infinite resource and deserve our closer attention. Zhu Yingchu shared experiences of his studio at Sui Yi Fang where he grows all sorts of plants, does minimal gardening and allows nature to take over. As a result, his workplace has become a haven for wildlife and a treasure trove of stories that inspire his creative practice. With a little more patience and curiosity one can find endless stories in these books of nature that in turn can be made into paper ones.
