党的十一届三中全会以来,随着八亿农民物质生活的改善提高,农村文化生活也发生了变化。图书、电影、电视、戏剧、广播等等走向农村,丰富了亿万农民的精神生活,对促进人民文化科学知识的提高,发展农村的商品经济,起到了积极的作用。特别是1981年全国农村读物出版工作会议以后,发往农村的各类图书,在品种和数量上都有显著增加。以河南省为例,1987年发往农村的图书总额为9353万元,分别为1978年3120万元和1980年6278万元的299.80和149％,成绩是很显著的。但是,目前农村图书发行工作的现状,距离广大农村读者的需要,还有不少差距,尤其在交通不便的边远地区和山区、“买书难”的问题仍未真正解决,过去新华书店实行的双轨制的农村发行体制,即靠自身的农村发行员开展流动供应和靠农村供销社代销图书,已 Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, with the improvement of the material life of 800 million peasants, the rural cultural life has also changed.

The result is remarkable. However, at present, the status quo of rural book distribution is far from the needs of the vast rural readers. In particular, in the remote areas and mountainous areas where traffic is inconvenient, the problem of “hard to buy books” has not yet been solved.
