The person who reads, a person who looks up with his head down

Yesterday, I began to read Zhang Chunru's "Biography of Qian Xuesen", and the more I read it, the more flavorful it became, and I couldn't help but recommend it in the circle of friends.

The book "The Biography of Qian Xuesen" has not yet been read, and it is highly recommended for adults who hope that their children will like to read. The person who wrote this book left this world at the age of 36, and she was in her early 20s when she wrote this book, but her pen was calm, concise, and the rhythm was very obvious, and it was easy to read. Author Zhang Chunru, "Nanjing Massacre" is her masterpiece.

Today, after reading this book, I recommended it on WeChat Reading:

Zhang Chunru's "Biography of Qian Xuesen" is not a biography that strictly conforms to the biography of the character, but in reading it still prompted me to think about the following points - what aspects of a family will affect the child's lifelong growth in the growth of a child; what irreplaceable role does continuous and focused reading play in a person's growth; determine the direction of interest and invest all enthusiasm and action for this purpose, and the possibility of happiness and harvest accompanied by happiness is greatly enhanced.

Yes, the feelings about these aspects are all because of the record and narrative of Qian Xuesen's reading in the book.

In the afternoon, friends deliberately shared several wonderful annual advertising copy, one of which is Jingdong Books:

People who read

A man with his head bowed and looking upwards

It's just part of the copywriting, and to be honest, it's this part that moves me. Then I had a feeling with my friend. I have some thoughts that I have for her reference only:

The copywriting of Jingdong Books not only shows the reading spirit that Jingdong Books wants to convey, but also makes a good definition for the people who read it. Anyone who accompanies a child to read is more in line with the proposition behind this sentence. I think.

I feel that this sentence implies the idea of "squatting down and talking to children", squatting down, not just a gesture, but a more open, grander and more far-sighted mentality.

Later, we talked about some reading experiences through this topic. I told her that if the copywriting had been promoted by a library, bookstore, or a non-profit organization promoting reading for all, it might have worked better.

The person who reads, a person who looks up with his head down.

Looking down is accumulating strength and looking upwards because there is a pursuit and a direction. People who read, all directions are far away.

That's why I feel so emotional today, and that's why I used this sentence as the title of the article.

Some of the thoughts of reading "Qian Xuesen's Biography" are paraphrased here.

P s: The following gray font is the original text, and the normal font is the feeling of writing down casually.

The relaxed academic climate in educational institutions can promote thinking, and this is the only way to gain wisdom.

Qian Xuesen's view touches on the essence of education - allowing the educated to gain wisdom, not a diploma.

This requires a relaxed educational environment, a good academic atmosphere, and on the basis of such conditions to promote the thinking of the educated. Looking at reality, do we have such educational institutions?

While Jiang Ying recited Tang and Song poems, Jiang Baili wrote about Western history, constitutionalism, strategy and tactics. As the editor of a literary journal, Jiang Baili maintained close ties with well-known writers and artists of the time.

This kind of conditions and resources can be encountered but not sought, and Jiang Ying is as lucky as Qian Xuesen! This also corroborates the several necessary conditions for improving a person's cultivation mentioned by teacher Yu Minhong - reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles, reading countless people, and guiding the way by famous teachers - these are all available to Jiang Ying.

Zhou Enlai commented on the results of the Wang Bingnan-Johnson talks: "The Sino-US ambassadorial meeting ... To get back a Qian Xuesen, in terms of this matter alone, the talks are also worthwhile, and the talks are also valuable. ”

Political struggles or political prejudices will always make some deaf, blind and executioners, and some will always make some darlings of the times and destiny.
