[Explanation] On January 29, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, in a self-study room named A16 in Urumqi, the quiet room, semi-enclosed cubicles, and bright and gentle reading lights made people have a strong desire for knowledge.
This is a self-study room established by Liang Yaoxuan, a "post-90s" guy who returned to Xinjiang for two years.
During the Spring Festival, there are about 30 people in the study room every day. For the cost of a large cup of coffee, you can sit for a whole day.

The Spring Festival should be a very low time, a very low season, and every day there will be 20 to 30 people who can come to study in the study room. I feel that the social life pressure of young people is really great.
[Explanation] Liang Yaoxuan recalled that he returned to Xinjiang from Beijing 2 years ago to prepare to take the CPA exam. He found many places to study, but they were not ideal. Finally, he was introduced by a friend to study in a self-study room. When he went in, he found a strong learning atmosphere. He was attracted immediately.
Then, I had the idea of starting a self-study room.
After that, Liang Yaoxuan conducted questionnaire surveys and market research, and finally established this study room.

I did some calculations, sent out a questionnaire, and did some simple market research. I felt that this matter could not be lost anyway, or I would give it a try.
[Explanation] Liang Yaoxuan introduced that studying in the library is limited by time and space, while the self-study room is open all day and all year round. It is a good choice for those who need such a space for self-study.
Chu Feiyang, who is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, insisted on studying in the self-study room during the Spring Festival, which made him feel like returning to campus.

The self-study room has a better atmosphere, it is a bit like a university library, where everyone studies together, it is easier to restrain yourself than at home, and it is easier to get into the state.
[Concurrent] Nie Yuting, a citizen of Urumqi, Xinjiang
I work online, but it’s the same everywhere. I might be lazy at home. I might watch TV and check my phone. There’s no such a good atmosphere. I’ve thought about it in a coffee shop, but it’s noisy. So I still choose the study room.
[Explanation] Liang Yaoxuan added that in the future, he will continue to improve the functions of the self-study room, and strive to bring more convenience to those who want to learn, love learning, and persist in learning.
