On July 17th, during the 30th National Book Trade Fair, Tomorrow Publishing House joined hands with Chen Sai, senior chief writer of Sanlian Life Weekly, to hold a conference in Shandong Book City with the theme of "What Does Reading Bring to Children?" Themed sharing sessions. At the event site, Chen Sai shared his experience with the audience and exchanged some observations and thoughts on reading and children's education.
As the senior chief writer of Sanlian Life Weekly, a highly influential cultural weekly in China, Chen Sai has published a number of special reports on society, economy, culture and life with thorough interviews and novel angles. She worked as a journalist for ten years, covering academics at seven of the top universities in the United States. After becoming a mother, she began to write children's book reviews and translate children's books. Now, the experience of accompanying the growth of children's insects has allowed her to start a new journey of children's book creation.
At the beginning of the activity, Chen Sai cut into the social hot topics to provide parents and friends with "story pills" to resolve growth anxiety and promote a healthy parent-child relationship. As the topic unfolded, Chen Sai talked about his own understanding of reading, researching and translating children's books. In the process, she says, she reconstructs the "inner child" and gain a deeper understanding of the value of reading— reading has a profound impact on a child's physical and mental growth, and the sensibility and upbringing cultivated through reading are far more important than the acquisition of knowledge. She believes that in the current era, knowledge learning can be carried out at any time and at any stage, but the formation of sensibility and cultivation is the most critical in childhood. As a mother, Chen Sai also talked about the indispensable role of reading in close parent-child relationships and exploring children's inner world. At the event site, Chen Sai also shared his new work "Where Did the Fat Goldfish Go?" with the audience. The moving story behind the creation is moving. In the interactive session, in response to everyone's confusion in children's reading and education, Chen Sai and the audience launched a profound and exquisite discussion, and the atmosphere was very active.
Chen Sai believes that reading children's books is like re-examining the world full of joy and emotion with surprised eyes. Reading helps children open up the channel for self-realization, so that the life of childhood is full of innocence, poetry, wisdom and strength, and also brings rich life enlightenment and thinking to adults.
