Chinanews.com, Beijing, April 23 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) "When you read a work, you have completely forgotten that you exist, and the fun at this time is more attractive than the fun in your life." As a "mouthpiece" for young people, writer Yu Hua's words have aroused widespread resonance.
In life, everyone is inevitably disturbed by trivial matters, and it is easy to be trapped in the present moment when the mind is disturbed. Reading is the window to see the world, taking you to understand the life and society that you have never experienced, and your heart is richer, and your natural mood is stable, not arrogant or impatient.
Reading is the best thing in the world. Those good books that have been read have never become a cloud of smoke, but are quietly hidden in a person's temperament, vision, and mind, and are also inadvertently revealed in a person's conversation.
Books are like medicine, and good reading can cure foolishness. World Book Day is coming, it is the April day in the world, go to read, live up to the time, live up to life.

Reading books illuminates the journey of life
Regarding reading, the famous scholar Meng Man once made the following judgment, "Man must have knowledge. The world is subject to our vision, and if you read a book, his world will become bigger. ”
For many people, "reading books changes fate" is not an empty phrase.
Reading illuminated the life of the famous writer Mai Jia, and also allowed him to find a path that suits him - writing.
The Mai family grew up in the countryside, and due to various reasons, the whole childhood and youth were very lonely, so they had to write a diary and treat the diary as a friend. It wasn't until he accidentally saw a copy of "Lin Hai Xueyuan" that he immediately liked this book.
It made the Mai family vaguely understand that there are people outside the world and there are heavens outside the world. As a result, the barren world has a little new greenery, and because of a book, the Mai family has the motivation to "get out of the village" for the first time.
When he was in high school, he became obsessed with reading and often ran to the library to borrow books. After that, the Mai family came across a very important book in his life, which was "The Catcher in the Rye".
He suddenly found that the bits and pieces in his diary were in line with the emotions expressed in the book. Novels, it turns out, can still be written like this.
Later, Mai Jia said that in a certain sense, that book gave him courage and helped him to embark on the path of writing, "Without this book, I might have been a reader." ”
Everyone hopes that their future is beautiful and can have unlimited opportunities, but there is no "lying to win" in life, and there is no shortcut to success.

Reading books is one of the best ways to acquire new knowledge. It builds an upward ladder for you, helps you to jump out of the existing framework, and when a person can think about problems from a more holistic perspective, he can also get the opportunity to change his life.
Reading affects a person's bearing
Reading is a great way to overcome despair and a way to dispel boredom. This has been true throughout the ages.
The great writer Su Shi once went to Xuzhou to work. In the days of discouragement, he spent a lot of time reading, as the saying goes, "Sleep and listen to the evening ya, slowly, read a few books at the head of the bed".
The restless mood was gradually soothed by the reading. Su Shi has an open-minded personality all his life, does not care about secular utilitarianism, and has a great relationship with reading.
What are the benefits of reading? He wrote a letter entitled "Another Answer to Wang Zhenshu", giving his own answer: "Books are as rich as entering the sea, and there are all department stores. "There are so many good books, they are rich mines, and they contain countless treasures.
Books are the best nourishment for the spiritual world. If you read the book thoroughly, many truths are self-explanatory, beyond the knowledge of ordinary people, and will make you not indulge in trivial matters, not trapped in boredom, and even if the situation is difficult, you can also give birth to a moving brilliance.
Interestingly, Su Shi also has a person he admires very much, named Dong Chuan. This person is dressed simply, especially reading, full of economy, elegant temperament, and barren material life, which does not affect his positive attitude towards life.
Perhaps because of this, Su Shi once wrote a poem for him, called "Farewell to Dong Chuan", which mentioned, "Wrapped in a coarse cloth, there is poetry and calligraphy in the belly." This is how the famous sentence of the ages was born.
Is this phrase outdated in the modern world? No, it doesn't.

A few years ago, Wu Yishu, who was only a teenager, won the championship of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" with her rich knowledge reserves.
"Watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and the clouds in the sky are rolling in the clouds", this is the elegance that a person can only have if he has been infiltrated by the fragrance of books for a long time. Those books you have read have already unconsciously integrated into your temperament and affected your words and deeds.
Reading expands the dimension of life
Why do people read more?
There is a hot stalk on the Internet, which intuitively answers this question: read more, when you see birds flying across the sky, in addition to blurting out "What a beautiful sunset, many birds", you can also gently chant "Luoxia and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky".
Bottom line: Reading books will make you a person who talks well and doesn't follow the crowd.
Reading a good work is sometimes a low-cost trip. Life is limited, and it is difficult for us to effectively extend its length, but we can rely on reading books to achieve a grand tour of the soul and soul, see different landscapes, and broaden the dimension of life.
Lei Haiwei used to be a takeaway brother, he loved poetry since he was a child, and after work, he still spent a lot of his spare time reading.

Between pick-ups, when waiting for the traffic light...... These fragments of time were used by him to memorize ancient poems, and in difficult situations, he found spiritual strength in ancient poems. When the opportunity to appear on the stage of the "Chinese Poetry Conference" came, Lei Haiwei accumulated a lot of money and won the championship in one fell swoop.
Many people praise his success and understand a truth: breaking mediocrity, surpassing oneself, and reading is always a simple and effective way. Its impact is hardly immediate, but it can make a person different in a subtle way.
In the sea of life, every line of text we have read and every page we have turned may be forgotten in the long years, however, they can slowly help you learn to think independently, help you not be shocked by honor and disgrace, and not be chaotic.
It's like we have eaten many meals since we were children, and we don't remember what we ate at each meal, but this does not prevent some of those foods from slowly growing into our bones and flesh.
"If you don't read for one day, you will be born in the dust, if you don't read for two days, your speech will be boring, and if you don't read for three days, your face will be hateful. Reading is a valuable and easy thing to do, and it's never too late to start.
Knowledge affects vision, and pattern determines life. The years are long, from now on, read the book in your heart and take your destiny into your own hands. (ENDS)
