When he was a child, in the summer, Li Ningdang liked to run to his hometown in the countryside. In the field, he and his friends chased and ran recklessly, and when it was hot, they went to swim in the small river, and when they were thirsty, they simply scooped a spoonful of cold well water and grunted and drank.
Looking back, my favorite thing after crazy play is the idyllic time of reading. The cicadas chirped and made music, and he sat down under the grapevine, picked up a small picture book, and read it with relish.
When you read about the rise, you will smile, and when you look at the danger, your brow will wrinkle. Page after page, one after another, forgetting time.

When the breeze blows, the sun, the boy and the book form a beautiful summer picture.
"From the moment you can read, the seeds of reading take root in your heart." Counting his own reading experience, Li Huandang opened the box of memory: probably in the fourth grade of primary school, he gradually became obsessed with comic strips on themes such as Journey to the West, Water Margin, and Fengshen List, and read wildly in his spare time.
In his view, compared with pure words, pictures more intuitively present the characteristics of the characters and express the storyline. In the painting book, he saw Zhang Feiyong's appearance as a martial artist, lamented Guan Yu's righteousness and thin clouds, and was even more intoxicated by the complexity and grandeur of history.
After growing up, Li Ningdang learned a lot of foreign literary heroes. Extending from textbooks to extracurriculars, he began to pay attention to Goethe, Leo Tolstoy, Pushkin, Uddhav and other literary figures. I read a lot of classic works such as "The Troubles of Young Werther", "Resurrection", "If Life Deceives You" and so on.
I don't stop reading, I keep working hard. After having a certain literary foundation, he began to try to create, and poetry, prose, and essays have become a unique way for teenagers to express their emotions and dialogue masters.
In order to be able to read more books and save the pocket money, Li Xiaodang was almost all used to buy various books, and if he really couldn't buy them, he went to the county library to borrow them.
Later, because of reading, he became acquainted with the works of the painter Van Gogh. Once at noon, he cooked alone at home, because he was so fascinated by the painter's autobiography that he forgot the rice that was still simmering on the iron stove, and when he smelled it and reacted, not only was the lunch "soaked", but even the pot was burned.
This is due to the depth of love, and too much focus on the scene of "wrong things", quite Chen Wangdao's feeling of "eating rice dumplings dipped in ink".
Because of reading, falling in love with literature, and because of his obsession with literature, after graduating from the history major, Li Xiaodang was admitted to the graduate school of literature. After graduation, he chose to work in a literary magazine without hesitation. This work is more than 20 years.
Today, Li Xiaodang, who is the editor-in-chief of "Mountain Flower" magazine, still maintains the habit of reading. In his view, books are often read and often renewed, especially classic masterpieces such as the Book of Poetry, which are worth reading and tasting repeatedly.
On the occasion of the 27th World Book Day, he recommended Nobel Laureate Faulkner's "Hustle and Turmoil." This novel not only portrays life in the American South with sharp brushstrokes, but also deeply reveals the complex and dark humanity, explores the dilemma of life, and ponders existence and time.
"Reading is an important part of life, and it is also a way of life that combines self-talk with listening to others. Through books, we can make our spiritual world more vast, have many friends with noble hearts, and make our lives more abundant. Li Saidang.
