April 23, World Book Day. Li Xiaoyi, the founder of "The Woman with a Scented Soul" and a well-known writer, was invited to participate in the roundtable dialogue program jointly created by Yalan Mattress and Ten O'clock Reading, together with Zhao Dongmei, professor of the Department of History of Peking University, and Yang Yu, professor of the Department of Chinese of Central South University, as the lead reader, and launched the advocacy of "reading good books, sleeping well, and writing a good dream life".
At the dialogue site, Li Xiaoyi and three other guests sat here and started a conversation about using dreams as horses and books as boats in a quiet and contemplative manner. Read books, read good books, go to sleep, sleep well. The simple and sincere aspirations of the two worlds are gradually concretized in their narration.
How should reading become a daily routine? Why do we keep reading? How do people achieve internal and external harmony between breathing and breathing? The three readers showed their attitudes and true nature: reading and dreaming are both helping us find what our body and mind should be.
Reading is a daily "must" for Zhao Dongmei and Yang Yu. It's not just about the drive for work, it's about the desire of the inner self. Zhao Dongmei likes to read on airplanes. At an altitude of 10,000 meters, isolating information is a rare breath left for life. In between between, she usually chooses a book that she has wanted to read for a long time but has not opened it for a long time.
Unlike Zhao Dongmei, who likes to nibble on new books on the plane, Yang Yu likes to open a book that she already knows by heart before going to bed, just like chatting with an old friend. It doesn't hurt to fall asleep in the middle of the conversation.
A person's comings and goings and life are engraved on a desk.
Li Xiaoyi once wrote in the book "A Woman with a Scented Soul", "Everyone's soul has its own unique fragrance". In this book, 26 women during the Republic of China period are written. They are beauties, talented women, legends, and at the same time, they have become themselves step by step in the wind and rain. There is Lu Xiaoman, who has been cultivated according to the "celebrity model", who has an extreme desire for love and marriage, Pan Su, who has read through the wordless book of life, and there are also traditional female models in their seventies who still insist on reading, reading newspapers, and listening to the radio......
What kind of book you read, what kind of fragrance you raise. Because of this, Li Xiaoyi said, "Reading is something we don't need to accommodate. When we grow to a certain time period, we can choose books that fit our hearts, minds, and souls for that time period. ”
On social media, the book has been listed as a top 3 quick sleep aid. At night, when you can't sleep, pick up a book, and drowsiness will come in a hurry.
Li Xiaoyi said that for a while, in order to solve her sleep problems, she regarded Rafael Pelayo's "Quality Sleep Method" as a treasure. The Stanford University sleep science expert has summed up dozens of tips for sleeping better in decades of research, and the most beneficial thing for Li Xiaoyi is to stay away from blue light, that is, try to turn off your phone before bed, at least don't put it within your reach.
At night without a mobile phone, books become an excellent soluge for "withdrawal reactions". The bed is the station of the body, and the book is the bed of the soul. Sleep is the recovery of physical function, and reading is the awakening of the inner self. Waking up from a good dream, exploring in books, and then, we have more energy to walk through the darkness of the night and run towards the light of the day.
Allocate time to reading to find a refuge against the ordinary, and time to sleep to have the vitality to explore life. I look forward to reading good books, sleeping well, and writing a good dream life with Yalan mattress!
