It is said that there have been two such people in American history. One is the Edward family, whose ancestor Edward was a philosopher full of knowledge. Among his eight generations of descendants, there are 13 university presidents, 100 professors, more than 80 writers, more than 20 parliamentarians and 1 vice-presidents. Zuk, the ancestor of another family, is an uneducated gambler and alcoholic. There were more than 300 beggars, 7 murderers and 60 thieves in his eight generations. A person without literacy can have such a long-term influence, which can't help but remind people of two declarations in the "Hope Project": no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education, and no matter how bitter you are, you can't suffer from children.
analyse
The power of books is enormous. It can change a person's life, even the history of a family. We cannot live without books. Life without knowledge is dark.
