Kang Youwei since childhood, for the reading of things is very much love, this is almost throughout his life, in fact, if we look carefully at the people around us, we will also find that if a person from childhood more like to read, then this person grows up, will still have a deep interest in books, but compared to many people now read books, because of their hobbies and interests, Kang Youwei at that time on the one hand because he likes to read, On the other hand, it is also related to the background of the times at that time.
We know that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was already very backward, very corrupt, and the bullying of foreign powers against the Qing Dynasty was becoming more and more serious, in such an environment, Kang Youwei, who had a lofty heart to serve the country, was very anxious, but he was not a big member of the DPRK, nor did he have an overly powerful background, he was just a reader, so he hoped that through the books he read, he could find a way to save the country from water and fire in the book, and govern the country with his own ability Therefore, Kang Youwei at that time had a strong sense of responsibility, and with this sense of responsibility to read, think and learn.
After returning from Hong Kong, Kang Youwei underwent great changes in his cognition, because Hong Kong at that time was actually not managed by the Qing Dynasty, but by the Western powers, although it was a shame, but when Kang Youwei really stepped on the land of Hong Kong and saw some physical objects, his heart could no longer calm down.
Because he witnessed some scenes in Hong Kong under Western rule that were very different from those in the mainland, and also deeply realized the shortcomings and backwardness of many aspects of the mainland, after returning, Kang Youwei was even more diligent about reading. Every morning he would pick up a pile of books, put them on the table, and then take an iron awl and stab it hard, to see if this awl could stab several books at once, if he stabbed two books, he would have to finish two books today, if he had stabbed three, he would have to finish three books today, and if he couldn't finish reading them, he wouldn't stop.
And Kang Youwei as long as he reads a book, the spirit is highly concentrated, sometimes even for a long time without moving, and for a long time, the body will have some discomfort, and even affect some of his normal life, but also bring him some pain, but this does not stop his enthusiasm for reading, is still day after day, year after year in the sea of books.
To tell the truth, xiaobian just learned about Kang Youwei's method of reading, or very much admire his spirit, if a person does things, there is such perseverance, then this person sooner or later will have a relatively big deed, but if you analyze from the specific actual situation, Xiaobian feels that as we modern people, we can learn this spirit of Kang Youwei, but the method, there is no need.
Although Kang Youwei's spirit of reading books is very good, this method of reading books seems to have a certain damage to books, and there is no need for us to learn this.
