【Human Chapter Hui】Reading Years (Part 1) | Essay Liu Jiahong

Nowadays, people's living conditions are getting better and better, and their minds about reading are getting weaker and weaker. Although nowadays there are so many books, there is everything. However, there are few teenagers today who can calm down and study, let alone the elderly. After the meal, the TV set in front of the tv, top-heavy snoring...

In the past, there was not much entertainment in the countryside, and if you could find a miscellaneous book to read in your spare time, you would not mention how beautiful it was. I remember one winter, I used a pair of old shoes, in exchange for an old man's book, the beginning of the missing page is also about to tear up the "Journey to the West", in the bed, with a weak diesel lamp, read until dawn, not to feel tired and sleepy, early nose and eyebrows are all gray. For an old pair of shoes, I was also beaten by my father with a broom. You must know that at that time, not only did there was no food, but there was no decent clothes to wear, and the poverty in the countryside could be imagined.

If a person lives and does not entrust a period of youth to noble thoughts and sincere words, then he is a mediocre person. Because he has given up the shaping of his own soul, this period of reading opportunities is missed, and he can no longer make up for it. Ancients: Three days without reading is an abomination. Not to mention that I have missed a golden age of reading.

Under the siege of the Internet, mobile phones, and television, hiding in no-man's corner, holding a good book that makes people tear up and feel the heart, what a luxury of happiness! Nowadays, people have many excuses for not going to school: work is too busy, life is stressful, the environment is too noisy, there are too many lively things... In short, there is no time, and I can't squeeze out my spare time to read. However, Zeng Guofan once said: "If you can study hard, you can read in the family school; that is, in the wilderness, you can also read in the lively place; there is no untouchable reading for negative wages; that is, in the quiet country, the realm of the gods and immortals can read." Why choose a place? Why choose the right time? ‘’

I think therefore I am, the life without examination, is meaningless, I read therefore I think. A book can create a contemplative person, and on the surface, the difference between the thinker and the ignorant may lie in a book, but the spiritual distance generated by a book cannot be measured. The silence of the thinker also shows a spiritual power, while the ignorant harp, revealing the paleness of the heart. Reading is an inner spiritual ritual that does not depend on external performances. When a person forces himself to make a gesture of reading, it is really nothing more than self-torture. A person who once had a period of crazy reading, a person who is attached to reading in the past, even if he can't have a room, a bookcase, a lamp, a quiet night of swimming in the sea of books. We still cannot doubt his pure reading feelings, because for the ordinary world, reading is not only isolation and exclusion, but also transcendence. Reading is rational, and the reader obtains spiritual freedom and a poetic life under the brilliant starry sky.

Books, like a beacon of signposts, a kind and kind old man. The former allows this clear signpost to illuminate the future and lead us to take many fewer detours in the journey of life; the latter allows us to run forward and see the world and some little-known things. Reading should be their own efforts, challenges and patience, to know the fun, do not understand this joy, what a pity! It's as boring as a person entering Baoshan and returning empty-handed. Looking at the world, a person who can read and think is strong, because he can taste and absorb the spiritual wealth of human beings and use it freely. People who read and are good at thinking are the "great wealth of the soul"!

I didn't know much, but when I was in elementary school, I encountered the Cultural Revolution movement and didn't go to class for a few days. It is in this environment that I like to read, the word is confirmed but can not pronounce the sound, look at its side of the pronunciation of the white word, even now I still read the white word, I have not learned pinyin, some of the pronunciation is corrected by my daughter. I don't remember if I have read "Reading Pictures and Literacy", but I have seen the villain book comic strip. But my interest in drawings is far less than that of words, and no matter what kind of book it is, as long as I can see it, it is like a treasure, even if it is a piece of paper, I will pick it up and read it with relish. There would be no books to read, and the bookstore would have closed long ago. All previous books and periodicals, except for the "Red Treasure Book", were listed as banned books and burned. The books I have read are also too complicated, and my youth is spent in the "sea of books". Books have cured my sentiments, broadened my horizons, and enriched my knowledge. That is, in the books, I understand that society feels life. The sea of books is endless, high into the clouds; five thousand years up and down, spanning tens of millions of miles. The book is like a ship, carrying me from a narrow place to the boundless ocean. The book is also like a learned master, teaching me infinite knowledge and wisdom. The book is also like a dear elder, guiding me into the society to face life! (To be continued.) ）
