He, a famous mouth of CCTV, won the audience's love with his rigorous and wise hosting style;
He is a best-selling author. He has written many books about the "love and hate" of journalists' life and the stories behind the news.
But he is a loyal reader and keeps company with books all the year round. If you don't study, you won't cultivate his profound thoughts.
Let's listen to Bai's views on reading and why he thinks that if you love children, let them love reading!
Reading is the driving force of life and the coordinate of looking back.
Many people have asked me, which book or person has influenced you in your life? I always have only one standard answer. This book is Xinhua dictionary, and this person is my mother. No mother, no me; Without Xinhua Dictionary, I can't walk into such a profound cultural world of China. Let me become a real China person step by step in the cultural sense. Xinhua dictionary is too important to me.
Hey, hey, which book will I turn out when I open the bookshelf in the 1980s? Very impressive. It was the spring of 1986. Just walked into the university campus for half a year. On that day, I went to Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing, Beijing, where I found a book Selected Poems. Two words came to my face: "meanness is the passport of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble." After reading so many poems in this book, I have changed from a young man on the prairie to a real Beijinger, from a middle school student to a college student, from a China person to a responsible China person who started to think about various problems in China and started to have his own independent way of thinking.
In the mid-1990s, I entered the eastern time and space. In my twenties, I want to be the host of "The Son of the East" and talk to one son of the East senior after another. Of course, I have no confidence, so I must continue to study. Too many books are helping me. There is a thick set of books that have played a very important role for me, that is, Mr. Tang by Zeng Guofan. Because in this book, I saw the most complicated human nature. There are Zeng Guofan who makes me respect, Zeng Guofan who makes me furious, Zeng Guofan who is very popular in culture, and Zeng Guofan who can't get away from it. In a person's body, human nature is so complicated that I have a fuller understanding of people and human nature.
In the decade of the new century, when I opened Laozi's 5,000-word Tao Te Ching, I found that almost everything today was written by my ancestors. Of course, the most important thing is that there are five words that make me suddenly enlightened about many things-selflessness. When you are truly selfless, you get the most, which is related to life.
The good times of studying in China have just begun.
On any sunny afternoon, when you are depressed, open a book and you won't be lonely. You will see beauty in China's excellent writing. Many of the books I just listed may just be some signposts in the first 40 years of my life. I feel very wronged if I don't list the books.
Well, that life is still long, maybe half. I always feel anxious when I look ahead. When I think that there will be so many wonderful music waiting for me and so many unopened books waiting for me, my heart will gradually calm down and I will be happy and curious to wait.
I always believe that rich China people and China people who have enough to eat and wear warm clothes will not pay all their attention to material acquisition. When we make great progress in material things, perhaps an era of China people's pursuit of spirit, soul and faith really begins. Many people say that the good days of studying in China are over. I want to say: no, it may have just begun.
Reading produces awe and faith.
Some surveys show that people's reading and knowledge acquisition level is directly proportional to your salary. I think only if you read enough, you will be more creative, confident, confident and rewarded materially. But this is not the most important thing. Read more books, you will be a rich and beneficial person emotionally, your dependence will be more substantial, and more importantly, you will find our faith and spiritual pillar in reading.
For thousands of years, China people's beliefs have not only depended on religion. Poetry in Tang and Song Dynasties, stories told by grandparents, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West, and countless classic books are still written between the lines by literati.
After studying for a long time, you will always believe something. What you believe, you will have respect and awe, because I think the two most important words of faith are "awe". If you know what is bad, you can't cross it. Just like a fast-flowing river in society, there are safe riverbeds on both sides, and there are two riverbeds of respect and fear. No matter how rough the river is, it is always safe. We are now slowly building riverbeds on both banks.
Teenagers should cultivate a reading lifestyle.
According to statistics, teenagers aged 10-19 read the most, but a considerable proportion of those books are not books they like to read, but books related to the current exam. Because I read utilitarian books, I didn't form the habit of reading for life. 20-29 years old, busy with fame and fortune, heavy professional pressure, no time to study. At the age of 40-49, when reading is the least, many people feel that life has reached this stage and they no longer need to study. In old age, reading began to increase. Because I left the front line of my career, I stopped running for fame and fortune, passively approached the true meaning of life and picked up books again. At this time, reading has returned to its essence, that is, fun, useful but useless, nourishing life.
This situation needs to be changed urgently. To let young people enjoy books, we should not just study for utilitarian purposes. It is necessary to cultivate reading into a lifelong habit and a new lifestyle in adolescence. "
Don't "insist" on reading, because it should be fun.
There are students who are as obsessed with reading as I am, such as "I like reading, but many of my classmates go to watch American TV shows, etc." Do I need to insist? " When the word "persistence" is used to say reading, it is already broken, and reading is a kind of enjoyment.
Someone asked me how many books I had read. I said I couldn't give you a number. At this moment, I can tell you how many books I have read, because it has become me. Most importantly, reading is a pleasure in itself, and it is not my grades that make me happy.
The most striking feature of going to a bookstore in China now is that there are several stacks of books. The first book is about exams, the second is about health, and the third is a so-called best seller. This involves people's concern (content), to pass the customs, to live a long life, to have something to say, and to be afraid of being abandoned by the times. In fact, they are all utilitarian. But there are many good books not for practicality, but for process. When you read this book, you will get a lot of fun.
