Shen Yang Book Association was established on October 13th, 1994, being the first book association originated by students themselves in Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU).

As Shen Zhijiang, Yang Hao, Shen Xiaohua and Yang Bo are the initiators, the association is named after their family names of Shen and Yang. The association defines “to read to become a useful person, to practice to serve the motherland” as its tenet. It advocates great concern for the culture and healthy habits of reading, which embodies the mainstream humanistic values of the contemporary XJTU students.

Through the corporate efforts made by generations of “Shen Yang People” and all students in XJTU, Shen Yang Book Association has gradually become a practical association extensively focused in XJTU, as well as an important base for the university’s moral education. The accumulative number of the Shen Yang associators is approximately 2,000. At present it has a collection of more than 3,000 volumes, a staff of 59, and over 800 associators. It now possesses fixed assets of about 50,000, and a series of sound management and finance systems.

Shen Yang Book Association also draws wide attention of the university and the whole society. The previous school president Jiang Deming inscribed the name for the association. Another previous school president Xu Tongmo also inscribed “human’s treasure serves human” as an encouragement. During the sector prejudication of “211 Project”, the leaders of Ministry of Education praised the association as “XJTU’s feature”. Many news media have also made reports about the association such as Construction of the Party, Shaanxi Daily, High Education in Henan, Shaoxing News, Women’s Friend, Xi’an Jiaotong University Weekly, Shaanxi TV station, Shaanxi People’s broadcasting station, Xi’an Jiaotong University TV station and so on.
