Why do we still read books today?

Reading helps to reduce the impetuous and utilitarian tendency of society. Reading is not a matter of one or two days, but a matter of a lifetime. The prime minister wrote to the bookstore and visited the bookstore, sending a positive signal.

The Prime Minister is at the bookstore again. On the 22nd, during his visit to Xiamen University, Premier Li Keqiang made a special visit to Xiamen University time Bookstore to encourage students to study every day. This good habit will benefit us all our lives.

In recent years, the premier has successively forged relationships with bookstores such as Beijing Sanlian Bookstore and Hangzhou Xiaofeng Bookstore. This time, on the occasion of World Reading Day, I made a special visit to the bookstore of Xiamen University, which shows the prime minister's strong feelings for the bookstore and reading. Of course, the prime minister is not only concerned about the fate of three or two bookstores, but also encourages the whole people to read and encourage people to develop reading habits.

Reading is not only a personal matter, but also a social matter. A person who likes reading can not only acquire knowledge from books, but also help to develop a quiet and open-minded temperament. A bookish society is often a non-impetuous society. Reading helps to reduce the impetuous and utilitarian tendency of society.

Over the years, many people think that money is equal to everything, thus ignoring the needs of spirit and ignoring that culture is the foundation of the continuous development of society. At present, with the continuous progress of social technology, we also need to keep up with the pace of the times by constantly absorbing new knowledge. If a person does not read, it is difficult to maintain a new knowledge reserve every day, and a society that does not like reading can hardly win development through continuous innovation. To encourage all people to read and encourage reading every day is to make people more interested in reading and pay more attention to it.

Read more books, but also read good books. As Premier Li Keqiang said at the Xiamen University time Bookstore: you need to read new books, but to get the most basic common sense, you need to read more classical and classic works. This is an empirical statement, and it can also be described as a word of wisdom. If a person wants to develop an interest in reading, he may not know what to read at first, so he has to follow the reading fashion. But if you only wander around in fashionable books without pursuing a higher level of reading, it will be like wandering in a reading maze and unable to find an exit. At this time, you might as well turn your attention to the classics and draw the power of knowledge from them.

The so-called classics are the crystallization of human reading experience. If you apply it in one sentence, if more people read a book, it will become a classic. Some classics are not easy to read, but as long as you calm down to read, it will certainly benefit people for life. On my personal reading journey, the fun and enlightenment brought by the classics are infinitely beneficial. In fact, many classics are not as hideous as the cover introduction, but rather lively and interesting. For example, "the count of Monte Cristo", once held up to read, will make people feel that they can not stop. By the way, Jin Yong's The Smiling、Proud Wanderer is a tribute to this classic.

Reading is not a matter of one or two days, but a matter of a lifetime. Getting into the habit of reading cannot be solved by a World Reading Day. The prime minister wrote to the bookstore and visited the bookstore, sending a positive signal. Especially after the era of the destruction of books and the theory of the uselessness of reading in the Cultural Revolution, we should have a deeper understanding of the importance of reading.
