Text/Wang Gang of Sidang Primary School in Ankang High-tech Zone
I was lucky enough to read a very good book recently-My View on Reading. This book brings together the reading ideas of Professor Zhu Yongxin, the founder of the new education, and the achievements of the experimental reading project of the new education. Reading this book is like drinking a cup of fresh and mellow afternoon tea, which gives people pleasant sensory enjoyment, nourishes the soul and makes people think deeply.
The book comprehensively discusses the charm and function of "reading", from one's own growth to the spiritual strength of a nation, from a school full of books to a vibrant city, and then to the harmonious coexistence of the whole society. I mainly talk about my feelings from the perspective of "personal growth".
In the first section of the first chapter of the book "Reading changes life", the author has a very classic exposition: "Through reading, we can enjoy infinite beauty and experience wonderful life in a limited life; Through reading, we may not be able to extend the length of life, but we can certainly broaden the width of life; By reading, we may not become richer, but we can certainly become smarter; By reading, we may not be able to realize our dreams of life, but reading can definitely help us get closer to our dreams of life. " In my opinion, a natural person, an ordinary person who is a very small member of society, can have no great talent and feelings for home and country, but must be "useful"-useful to family and society! This reminds me of an idol that I will worship all my life-my father. My father has only been in school for three years, and he doesn't know much, but he is famous as an "able person" in the nearby village: he can carpentry, water and electricity, repair household appliances, sew, cut … almost anything! So I am busy making furniture for this family or repairing electrical appliances for that family all day. It is precisely because his father is "useful" to society that he is particularly respected! My father's craft, except "carpentry", was learned from my grandfather for two years (as a master), and the rest were all taught by reading! This is why I worship my father all my life. When I was a child, I remember that the bookshelves at home were filled with various titles: Rural Intellectuals, Everything in Dont Ask For Help, Woodworking Furniture, Introduction and Design of Knife, and Practical Chinese Medicine ... Among them, a four-corner dictionary with no cover was my first dictionary, and my father personally taught me how to look up words. My father takes books as his "teacher" and learns all kinds of skills that are beneficial to life. In particular, an old gentleman can learn to cut clothes and trousers by reading books, and he can skillfully control sewing machines, which makes the villagers amazed! Whenever someone praises him to his face, his father simply says, "Books are teachers. As long as you love reading, there is nothing you can't learn. " How simple and plain this is! Isn't this a perfect interpretation of Professor Zhu Yongxin's statement that "we may not become richer by reading, but we can certainly become smarter"? !
As far as personal growth is concerned, it is the eternal truth to draw nutrition from books! At all times and in all countries, there are countless famous aphorisms about the importance of reading: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book", "Books are still medicine, and good reading can cure fools", "Birds want to fly first, and people want to be advanced" ... But after the reform and opening up, "economic construction is the center", and some "short-sighted" people "all look to the money". Fortunately, talking about "reading". They know that without culture, they can only work hard; They know that without knowledge, they will not protect themselves and are more likely to be deceived; They know that without knowledge, such as "blind people riding blind horses", they are more likely to go astray and even lose their lives! They know that knowledge is wealth! Knowledge is power!
Social development is changing with each passing day, and knowledge and informatization promote social life to be more intelligent. And where does knowledge and information come from? From reading! Falling in love with reading and developing good reading habits is what every self-motivated and responsible person has to do all his life! Read classic works, talk with sages, and improve your self-cultivation; Read more newspapers and magazines, get in touch with the society and broaden your horizons. We read books with words with our eyes and listen to books with sound with our ears. We should read the "macro-theoretical masterpiece" Society silently!
Falling in love with reading, not for anything else, only for civilization and ignorance, igniting wisdom!
