The library is a repository of knowledge and an important pillar for any educational institution. In this reflective essay, ‘Tu Shu Guan’ (图书馆) which means Library, Wong Wai Kit vividly expresses his sentiments about the NUS Library, and characterizes it as the heart and soul of the university. Wong’s experience resonates among us.

Wong’s essay won the second prize in the 10th Singapore Tertiary Chinese Literature Awards (第十届新加坡大专文学奖) held in 2008. Wong was a NUS student at that time.
