[Night Reading] Start with buying old books

For one hundred and ten yuan, two sets of old books (a set of Marne anthology and a set of Lenin's anthologies) bought from Taobao, both from the 1972 edition. Each set of 4 volumes, 8 volumes, each volume divided into upper and lower volumes), a week later first arrived at the entire set of Lenin's anthologies. The store also attached a letter: "Another set is grasping the distribution, and please understand that it cannot be sent together." "It seems that the used book market is active, and the store service is not bad."

Open the package and take a cursory look, but I did not see any missing pages in the book, marked circles and the like. Oh, or the "new book" of the year! Maybe the owner of the book didn't have time to read, or moved around, or replaced the old with the new... How to deal with it, it is not known.

Flipping through a few articles I've read, I don't find any difference in the content of the different versions. I suddenly felt that although the books were a little older, fifty years later, the slightly yellowed paper still emitted a faint ink fragrance, as if wandering around, it would naturally be often read and new. Although the version is a little older, as the first version in China, it is several years older than me, and it is also witnessing history. The years flow quietly, but the truth is eternally youthful; the life of the flesh will eventually pass away, but the light of thought and wisdom that illuminates the world will always shine.

At that moment, the contact, collision, and even the connection with the anthologies of the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Chairman Mao and other great men surged into the mind like a movie, and many situations could not be forgotten or forgotten.

The most profound memory is that when he was about eight or nine years old, the middle of the wall above the adobe house in his home was always posted with large half-year-old portraits of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Chairman Mao and other large half-years. In my ignorance, apart from recognizing the great leader Chairman Mao, I did not know who those four people were, and I did not understand why they were posted here. At that time, few people in the remote countryside had seen foreigners, and the portraits of those blue eyes, high nose bridges, and large beards not only did not know each other, but at first we were a little afraid, and even did not dare to look directly at the hall house, if we happened to come home in the dark, we would have slipped into the back room quickly against the door. Now that I think about it, it is very funny, and I tell it to my children as fragments, and the children can't help but laugh when they hear it, and they think it is incredible, which is probably the first time I have a relationship with great people in the dark.

When you go to school and study, you will know more when you grow up. In particular, in the past few years of work experience, combined with the study of party history, theory, and Mao Xuan, we have increasingly felt that in all aspects of the political, economic, military, diplomatic, and social life of the party and the state, the true meaning of the ideas of the great people is everywhere, but sometimes we do not realize it.

This also inspires and prompts me not to be satisfied with just understanding their famous sayings and aphorisms, biographical introductions, not satisfied with the simplification and superficiality of personal learning, and more and more feeling that "it is not enough to believe that they are correct, as to why they are correct?" What is the past and present life and context of their thoughts? What is the significance of our great relevance? "Wait, you have to dig deeper into one or two to get the real knowledge."

The ideas that had been swirling in my mind for a long time finally came into action, starting with the borrowing of the "Selected Works of Marx and Engels (Volumes 1-4)" from the unit library. First of all, he selectively studied the Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, The Introduction to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Law, Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of German Classical Philosophy, The Development of Socialism from Utopia to Science, and Dialectics of Nature, and then studied Lenin's "Imperialism is the Highest Stage of Capitalism." Although the study is preliminary and some of the content is not well understood, I feel deeply attracted to it.

Think back to 2018. In order to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth, CCTV once held a series of dialogue columns on "Marx is Right", watched a few episodes, and then linked to reading, thus drawing the conclusion in his heart - Marx was indeed right! Marxism is correct! Marx and Engels are great! Lenin and Chairman Mao, who inherited and carried forward their mantle and expounded and brought into play their ideas, were equally great and great figures who walked in the forefront of the times!

Think back to the time when I was a child, I didn't dare to look directly at the portraits of great men. yes! In order to think about the development of human society and the future and destiny, it turns out that their torch-like gaze is so profound and insightful! Their broad brain doors are so wise and brilliant! Their broad minds are so broad and deep! Many people feel that the theory is boring, but the more I learn, the more I feel energetic, the more I learn, the more I feel that my heart is bright, many of which were doubts and troubles in the past, are now as clear as day.

I can't help but think of two sentences in the historical experience of "persisting in keeping the world in mind" in the sixth historical experience of our party formulating the third "historical resolution": Our party has always "stood on the correct side of history and stood on the side of human progress." This is not only a summary, but also a manifestation, but also a declaration, which fully demonstrates the "four self-confidences" of our party! And all this is because our Party is the best at mastering and applying the highest form of human thinking- materialistic dialectics! Our party has given a wonderful answer to China's development and progress and will continue to give a wonderful answer.

"Books cannot be read without borrowing". I thought that books were not hidden in research. It is not reluctant to buy a beautifully framed new version, and having it is not for decoration. Not afraid of the classics esoteric, jerky, afraid of lazy and chaotic thoughts, the original classics are not far away, the classics are around, it is still so simple and vivid, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
