●Yang Jianpeng, School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan University
He borrows 330 books a year, all of which are professional books
"Did I borrow so many books?" Yang Jianpeng bluntly said that he was a little surprised and a little happy when he heard that he had borrowed 330 books and became the school's 2023 reading master, "It turns out that I have read so many books in a year, and I have really struggled." ”
Yang Jianpeng, a fourth-year student majoring in traditional Chinese medicine at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Ji University, gave a surprising answer when it came to the types of books he borrowed: all of them were professional-related books. The only "Zhou Yi" is actually related to the culture of traditional Chinese medicine. He said with a smile that it may be because of the particularity of the profession that he always feels that he cannot improve his professional level if he does not have enough knowledge, "Traditional Chinese medicine depends on the clinical efficacy, and only if it is really level will it gain the trust of patients." Yang Jianpeng said that if he wants to spend more time studying a subject, he will read related books. "For example, "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", one of the four classics of Chinese medicine, is studied in two semesters, so I will read a lot of related books throughout the year, which not only reviews the knowledge in class, but also expands the extracurricular reading. ”
Yang Jianpeng said "no" without hesitation: "The main thing is that I like this discipline very much, and I think that the books I read now are the accumulation of basics, and maybe I can find solutions to some problems in my work in the future." ”
Yang Jianpeng believes that reading will have a process of "quantitative change to qualitative change". The more books I read, my "appreciation" ability has also been improved, and I can gradually filter some "rough books" from the vast sea of books, accurately find the "essence" I need, and transition from extensive reading to accurate reading. "Reading is actually a learning process, and after the habit of reading, I found that I had changed, such as taking the initiative to solve problems and becoming more independent than before. ”
Speaking of the books that had the greatest influence on him, Yang Jianpeng mentioned a series of works by Mr. Hu Xishu, "I liked Chinese medicine because I was interested in it, knowing that Chinese medicine can cure diseases and save people, but I didn't know what kind of discipline it was. ”
Yang Jianpeng said that for himself, reading is not only a "just need" for learning, but also a kind of spiritual sustenance. "Actually, when I first came to JIU, I was a little confused. Later, the graduate students in the same dormitory took me to the library, which was like opening a door for myself and giving me direction. Yang Jianpeng said that even though he doesn't spend as much time reading as before, every time he borrows a book from the library, he feels good. "Reading is also slowly changing my life, helping me to understand myself more deeply, including my hobbies and some thoughts about the future. ”
Inspired by "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", he chose this major
●Tang Xiang, Faculty of Letters, Hunnan University
Tian Qi of the School of Liberal Arts of Jinan University borrowed 313 books last year, ranking first on the list of the school's masters (masters). For Tian Qi, reading is not only to serve his thesis and studies, but also an important part of his life, "because I had to write my thesis, I didn't go home last summer, and spent most of my time in the library."
Tian Qi's graduate school is the history of Sino-foreign relations, and most of the books he borrowed are related to his major. "After entering the graduate level, I found that I lacked too much knowledge, and I was eager to make up for the relevant knowledge and enhance my understanding of the major. Referring to the experience of reading, Tian Qi modestly said that he mainly read "slow reading" in his undergraduate years, and the amount of reading today is mainly because of the "driving force of papers".
In addition to professional-related books, Tian Qi also reads some inspirational and philosophical books, "It can be regarded as a kind of emotional adjustment, when the state is not very good, he will use the power of words to relieve the negative emotions in his heart and get out of the emotional predicament." In his opinion, positive words can make people's hearts stronger.
Referring to the books that had a great influence on him in the early days, Tian Qi said that it was "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". "Because my hometown is Pu Songling's hometown, I have had a lot of contact with this book since I was a child. Tian Qi told reporters that there are many stories about going to sea in "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", which can be regarded as an early enlightenment to his understanding of Sino-foreign relations, "Maybe these stories planted seeds in my heart at that time, and I naturally chose this major when I grew up." ”
In his graduate studies, Tian Qi also read a lot of books that benefited him a lot, such as "Yingya Shenglan" written by Ma Huan in the Ming Dynasty. This is a book of overseas experiences, Tian Qi said that this book has broadened his horizons and helped him a lot in his graduation thesis.
Reading makes her feel life and not be afraid of confusion
●Xia Qing, College of Vocational and Technical Education, South China Normal University
"Whenever I am anxious about the pressure of life and study, I know that it is time for me to study!" Xia Qing, a graduate student from the School of Vocational and Technical Education at South China Normal University's Shanwei Campus, is a reader who is accustomed to building emotional strength through reading, and sees books as a good medicine to calm bad emotions.
Xia Qing said that sometimes she can realize the answer to life in the book, but sometimes she also feels that "the answer is not important", and the peace of mind that reading brings to her is the power that she is truly not afraid of. "In this fast-paced era, perhaps some people will rush and cut their patience to read a book. She believes that reading is not something that can be seen quickly, but it will definitely benefit if you stick to it for a long time.
When it comes to reading skills, Xia Qing mentions "practice" the most: "If you just read, the effect may not be very good, but if you output the knowledge you have learned in the book, it will be more conducive to internalizing the knowledge." She suggested that after reading the books that touched you deeply, you should choose some key points in the book to put into practice. "The so-called output can be to tell the content to others, apply the main points in it to real life, and make a tangible change for yourself. You can also use methods such as taking notes, writing reading experiences, and drawing mind maps to combine the content and experience of the topics sorted out with the current life experience to help you better understand the content of the book. ”
During the interview, Xia Qing recommended two books that he liked very much, "You Should Be Like a Bird Flying to Your Mountain" and "Biography of Zeng Guofan". "You Should Be Like a Bird Flying to Your Mountain" tells the story of a character who came out of a very poor original family and changed his life step by step through his own efforts. Xia Qing said that she was very impressed by the spirit of "being able to play a bad hand of fate" and often encouraged her to be more active and brave in the face of difficulties. And "The Biography of Zeng Guofan" made her feel spiritual sublimation. "The clumsiness of the world can win the most clever of the world", Zeng Guofan's experience of not being smart but relying on hard work to achieve success resonated with her, who thought she was "stupid", and the early rise and cautious words mentioned in the book have also become the habits she strives to adhere to in her life.
He met the "love letter of his dreams" in the university library
●Ou student, School of Liberal Arts, South China Normal University
"I have never counted how many books I have borrowed, and I have not really read all of them, understood them or internalized them as my own knowledge......" Ou student is on the list of South China Normal University readers with 543 books borrowed a year, but when it comes to reading, he is still a little ashamed, bluntly saying that a large amount of reading nowadays is more like releasing the desire to read that was bound before he went to college.
Ou was very fond of literature when he was in high school, and some literary works left seeds in his heart early. For example, the set of "Literary Memoirs" in the high school campus bookstore was squeezed into the corner by piles of teaching aids. "It was Mr. Mu Xin's book, which was placed in a very high place at that time, with a plastic envelope, and it was impossible to read at all, but I would look up at it every time I went. ”
With such "thoughts", Ou was admitted to the Chinese Department of the university, and the seeds in his heart seemed to have been nourished and gradually germinated. "The university library is really a very important resource, and I have come across books that I have always wanted to read and writers that I have always looked up to. After listening to the teacher talk about Mr. Mu Xin's poem "Once Upon a Time", he was so excited that he immediately went to the library to borrow this set of "dream love letters".
"It's completely different from the literary history in the textbook, and when I read it, I think how can Mr. Mu Xin write so playful and cute. Ou said that reading is like a friend to him, and some of the writers he likes very much may not be seen in his life, but through their surviving works, he has the opportunity to "dialogue" with them, "This kind of emotional collision and resonance makes me feel very magical." ”
In addition to the nourishment of the soul, reading also brings a lot of fun to Ou students, such as "reading thousands of books instead of traveling thousands of miles". "Travel books are also a kind of books that I like very much, I can't travel around the world, these books are a window to see the world, compared to various travel Vlogs on the Internet now, the author's thinking about humanities in the book makes me more rewarding. ”
Ou laughed and said that he was also a TV child when he was a child, and he really fell in love with reading after going to college. He hopes to keep the habit of reading alive, "Learning is endless, I don't know if I will have such good reading conditions and mood in the future, but at least I won't give up reading." ”
