Wu Xiao told reporters that she fell in love with Hanfu when she was in college and thought it was particularly good-looking, and after joining the work, she collected more than 200 sets of Hanfu one after another. In her opinion, wearing Hanfu is the same as reading, you can discover and perceive a different self.
Four years ago, after watching the new version of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions", Wuxiao found a book and wanted to read it well, originally read the old version of the book that was already at home, and then listened to the book when the working time was tight, and especially liked to listen to the re-evaluation of Dream of Red Mansions, which gave her a deeper understanding of the characters in the book, "I like Lin Daiyu's temperament, she is the only one she cares about will have the so-called 'little family spirit', not for ordinary people, she is very talented and has a true temperament." Wuxiao said that she usually likes to write articles, and she will also use the passages in "Dream of Red Mansions" as a writing example to figure out.
Recently, she was reading the encyclopedia book "Night Sailing Boat" by Zhang Dai, a writer and historian in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, "which is equivalent to an encyclopedia of ancient China." Wu Xiao said that she usually likes to read books and do handicrafts at home, and she does not feel bored at all, she said: "Reading can greatly enrich my inner world and make my emotions very stable. ”
At the book fair site, Wuxiao rediscovered the cordial and down-to-earth feeling of holding a paper book in his hand, "It is necessary to hold such a book fair frequently, and now young people generally watch short dramas and read online texts, and such an offline book fair is needed to awaken everyone's love for reading." Wuxiao said.
