In the golden autumn of October 2012, the Chinese literary world ushered in a grand celebration, and Mr. Mo Yan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, becoming the first Chinese writer to receive this honor. His award not only won glory for Chinese literature on the international stage, but also demonstrated the breadth and profundity of Chinese culture to the world.
Now, on the special day of World Book Day, Mr. Mo Yan once again brought us a spiritual feast with his profound thinking and unique insights. He called on everyone to let go of their inner anxieties, reduce their addiction to short videos, and instead plunge into the sea of books to find those spiritual food that can nourish the soul.
Mr. Mo Yan admitted: "Although I am also attracted by the charm of short videos, every time I am immersed in them, I can't help but ask myself, why let precious time pass in boring pastimes? ”
According to relevant data, as of 2023, the average daily usage time of mobile Internet users has reached 435 minutes, of which mobile audiovisual applications account for 187 minutes. In this era of information explosion, it seems that we are more and more easily caught up in fragmented information, and forget the spiritual comfort brought by that quiet reading time.
Regarding this matter, a netizen bluntly said that in this era of short videos, let alone reading books, whenever I have free time, I want to take out my mobile phone to swipe Weibo and watch short videos; Seeing this comment, many netizens were deeply touched and praised it.
In fact, we should re-examine our lifestyle and make reading an indispensable part of our lives, rather than Weibo, WeChat and short videos. Because, only when we are truly immersed in the sea of books, can we feel the peace and satisfaction from the soul, and can we find our true selves in our busy lives.
