Chapter 5 What a Wonderful Thing It Means to Read

Today is the last day of the weekend, and on Friday, Zhang Xuan's colleague Ji Heng said that there has been no weekend for two months.

Young people should not be pessimistic, they may not have a weekend for four months in the future, and they can think about the future in their arms to feel that they are living a good life now.

In the era of anxiety, we need the spirit of Ah Q.

Today, let's talk about something elegant: how long has it been since you read a book properly.

At first glance, Zhang Mian is not a person who can chat, you should ask everyone how much money they have earned in 18 years, it is estimated that it is more heart-wrenching than the question just now.

Zhang is as ashamed as many readers, especially those who have books at home.

Stealing a half-day of leisure.

Today, there are no trivial matters to disturb, and Zhang Mian found a set of "Caprice" published by Joint Publishing in 1987 in a large pile of disorganized books.

I read for a whole afternoon, immersed in the world of Mr. Barkin's memories, in that era that is sad, but should not be forgotten by others.

What's even more ashamed is that when I bought this set of books, it was purely for collection, and I really didn't have the heart to read at all.

It's like marrying a beautiful woman and going home, just to see and touch, not to have children with her and grow old together.

This is a great disrespect for good books, and it is also a common problem for many so-called book lovers, who buy good books when they encounter them, and less than one-tenth of the books they buy are actually read.

Although buying a book is a physical and mental pleasure for us, it is also a mental burden to buy it without reading it for a long time.

Tonight, in this cloudy weather, I drank three bubbles of tea that had no taste.

Zhang Mian threw bricks and talked about reading.

Zhang Mian was born in the 80s, and when he was a child, everyone in Zhangjia Village was the same, but he was poor, many children were malnourished, and the dogs were helpless to eat feces at that time.

But at that time, adults had begun to pay attention to education, and most parents sent their children to school.

When Zhang Mian was in the fourth grade of primary school, it was either winter vacation or summer vacation, I really can't remember clearly, the Chinese teacher read a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale in class, and Zhang Mian was immediately attracted by the fairy tale.

The post-90s or post-00s generation will definitely cover their mouths and laugh, a fairy tale can attract you.

It's really attracted, just like I don't understand why you guys are attracted to King Pesticide.

In the end, Zhang Mian, who never forgot the fairy tales, still rented a copy of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales" at a rented bookstore more than 50 meters east of the primary school during the holidays, and the rent was five cents a day.

Zhang Mian secretly watched it for three days, but was still discovered by his seemingly careless mother, and confessed in less than three rounds, the book was not borrowed but rented, and the book was returned without reading it.

Zhang Mian's childhood only had incomplete fairy tales, and it was a bit sad to see parents reading fairy tales to their children in movies and television, which did not belong to Zhang Mian's childhood memories.

Junior high school and high school were the time when Zhang Mian read the most, and at that time borrowing books to read was a trend, and buying books was a bit extravagant, and the price of books completely beat the change in his pocket.

Zhang Mian read a large number of Chinese and foreign masterpieces such as "The Storm", "Life", "Beautiful Friends", "Don't Love Strangers", and "The Great Gatsby".

A pirated book as thick as a pillow "Chronicles of Chronicles" was directly seen by Zhang Mian and fell apart.

Those years were a time when Zhang Mian was hungry for books, and now he is full of happiness when he recalls it.

When he was in junior high school, Zhang Mian was obsessed with hazy poetry, index finger, Xu Zhimo, Haizi, no matter who caught him to study, that is, during that time, Zhang Mian tried to write poetry, and published a lot of poetry in various magazines and newspapers.

Zhang Mian often considers himself a poet, but unfortunately there are really no works that can be taken.

One year in high school, I fell madly in love with Gu Long, reading from "September Eagle Flying" to "Legend of the New Moon".

"Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Chu Liuxiang", "Lu Xiaofeng", "Seven Weapons", "Peerless Double Pride", "Happy Hero" and other Gu Long's masterpieces, Zhang Mian read several articles.

The "heroic dream" that rose in my heart made my blood boil for countless nights watching martial arts.

When he was in Fengcheng No. 1 Middle School, Zhang Mian also set up a "Flying Astronomy Club", serving as the president, with the financial support of several literature lovers in the class, he also published a few issues of "Wen Bao" at his own expense, but in the end it was gone, but unfortunately these issues of the newspaper are now missing, which is a pity.

When I was in college, I went from Hefei to Lanzhou and then to Shenyang, and in the process of moving the city, I also read some books, which were basically insulated from reading at night.

Now that I have bought a room full of books, maybe after this diary, Zhang Mian will have a plan to read some good books.

Well, my friend, you've been reading those books lately.

In the book, we are lonely together, happy together, and growing together.

Let's stick to such a beautiful thing.
