When I was a child, my favorite books were comic books and folk stories. Folk story is a kind of booklet, which contains folk stories and fairy tales, popular and vivid, and is accompanied by exquisite illustrations. There is a fairy tale whose content is still fresh in my memory. The story tells that a witch is jealous of her neighbors' beauty and kindness, and turns them into two peonies, a green peony and a red peony in her garden, which are open for her to watch every day. The poor two girls have tears hanging on their delicate petals every morning, lamenting the fate of not being able to change back into human form. At this time, a handsome young man was determined to rescue the two kind girls after hearing about it. So he crossed Qianshan, went through hardships, defeated all kinds of monsters sent by the witch, and finally broke the witch's spell and rescued two girls. This story moved me for a long time. I was moved by that brave and kind young man. At that time, at a young age, I fantasized that I was one of the two girls saved by the young man, and even dreamed that the young man was fighting monsters at night.
And the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The kind seven fairies dared to resist the Queen Mother's canon and the tyranny of heaven, and pursued a free, loving and happy life, which moved me. During the summer vacation, I will stay at my grandmother's house. At night, I will sneak to the river behind the house and hide in the bushes to see if there are any fairies floating from the sky to take a bath there. I won't go back to sleep until an adult shouts. One summer night, I was lying on the mat in my grandmother's yard, driving mosquitoes away with a banana fan, looking up at the distant sky and imagining the scene of heaven. I don't know how many nights I waited, but the south gate didn't open. Only the stars in the sky accompany me to sleep slowly. The most interesting thing is that I often put sheets or scarves on my body and pretend to be seven fairies, jumping around on the bed. It seems naive to think about it now, but those beautiful, kind, brave and beautiful stories in the book really cultivate my young mind. Of course, there are many folk stories, such as "cornucopia" and "a good horse", which will remain in my memory forever.
Because I love reading, I seem to know more than my peers and have rich feelings and thoughts. I always like to think about things alone, and I always have my own opinions on any problems. I remember one time when my father was talking with my colleagues at school, I interjected, and I can't remember the content clearly. But I remember the teacher said to his father, "You are a great little girl, and you are sure to do great things in the future."
Reading makes me curious and cultivates my competitive personality. The fifth grade of primary school has a new textbook, and there are many examples in the arithmetic textbook. I practice examples according to the notes in the math textbook, and the more I do it, the more interesting it becomes. A week later, I finished all the arithmetic problems in the book last semester. Teacher Lu, who later taught mathematics, said to my mother, "Your daughter is very clever. She can attend a full semester in seven days, which is unique among my students. " Mother was certainly glad to hear the news.
Once, I found a novel describing the exploration of geological exploration team members in the deep mountains and wild valleys. I forgot the title of the book, but the knowledge of nature, geography and science described in the book deeply attracted me, especially the interesting stories about the life and work of the expedition members, the difficult journey, the unexpected thrills, the scene of fighting with wild boar, and the hammock hanging on a tree fork to sleep at night. The romantic stories between the players surprised me. During that time, becoming an explorer became my ideal. I am determined to study hard and experience the exciting adventure life in the wild when I grow up.

There is a hardcover book on my father's bookshelf called The Story of the Stone, which I turned over when I was a child and couldn't understand. One summer vacation, I finally knew 40% of the words in the book, so I picked up my father's book "The Stone", which is the most difficult book I have ever read. The book "The Story of the Stone" is a version of 1930, which is printed vertically in traditional Chinese. At the beginning of the volume, there is a preface to the general comment, which takes up dozens of pages-comments are added to the attached stone catalogue: the preface of the flower protector, the general comment of the flower protector, the mistake of the flower protector, the general comment of a villager, the general comment of the Ming Zhai Lord, etc. The text on each page is annotated in the box circled above. At that time, I couldn't understand these general comments and went directly to the theme of the novel. I haven't learned traditional Chinese characters, and they are arranged vertically, which is difficult to read. I can only chew them with my fingers one word at a time. In fact, many of the meanings written in the book were guessed by me according to the meanings of the words I knew at that time. My favorite thing is to comment on the pictures and pictures of the attached stone story. The sketches and illustrations of the characters in the book are vivid and have great personality. I was also fascinated by the complex and detailed general plan of the Grand View Garden. I can always find out where Hongyi Garden and Xiaoxiang Pavilion are, and I am often immersed in the plot in the book. The degree of obsession led to the later class. I often drew pictures of those beautiful women in my exercise book with a pencil, which I enjoyed very much.
In the past, there were no sex education courses in schools. In China, education is a forbidden area, and my understanding of male and female sexual behavior is a blank sheet of paper. Therefore, I have a vague understanding of the two chapters in The Story of the Stone, namely, the fifth volume-Jia Baoyu's wandering in the dreamland and the sixth volume-Jia Baoyu's first sexual attempt. I guess the "sex" in the book is about the relationship between men and women, which is also the inspiration of my early sex education. I read it again and again, but I didn't understand why, but I realized that this is a question that can't be asked. Now, it seems possible to write such a hazy and beautiful story about men and women. I think only China's literature can do it. And I'm not sure about the book "If you don't have tricks, you can hide your love". It's better to be clean than trapped in a ditch. "Impressive, have a special liking.
Undeniably, the seemingly obscure content of The Story of the Stone is the most difficult for me to understand, and it also makes me cry a lot. It's like an encyclopedia, which makes me know a lot of knowledge outside the classroom, and also makes me vaguely moved by the love between men and women.

Because I love reading, I know more things than ordinary children of the same age, and my understanding seems to be better than ordinary people. My usual life behavior is different from ordinary people and I am very polite. I remember that the straw hat on my head was blown off by the wind again. A man on the roadside picked it up for me and handed it to me. I immediately said, "Thank you!" "A man next to me said sarcastically," Thank you, little holy egg. "With the invasion of books, I have a better yearning for things. I admire people who speak standard Mandarin since I was a child. I think Mandarin sounds good, cadence, and can better express the feelings of the language, so I learned to speak Mandarin at an early age. But at that time, this kind of behavior was often ridiculed and attacked by people around you, saying that you were a local and spoke Mandarin. My uncle doesn't support speaking Mandarin with me. He said to me, "Seeing that you are from your hometown, you can't ignore the Mandarin you speak. "But I just don't believe this evil. I will stick to what I think is right, no matter what others say, I will go my own way. Speaking standard Mandarin has greatly improved my quality.
At the turn of primary school and junior high school, I fell in love with foreign fairy tales. Grimm's fairy tales, Andersen's fairy tales, Arabian nights, etc. These books have broadened my horizons and developed my imagination. Sometimes when walking, cycling and working, I often fall into a daze and meditate. I will imagine myself sitting on that magical flying carpet, flying wherever I want, and I can do anything just by saying a spell; Imagine that I can become an invisible man, run to the bank and quietly take out the money there, so that no one can see it, so that I can have money to buy things I like; Imagine that you can run a factory, make many skirts for children in movies and sell them to schools. The children dressed beautifully and made a lot of money themselves. Imagine that you must be a beautiful woman when you grow up, and you will meet someone you like, a handsome, brave and kind "Prince Charming" and so on. I think it's all the fault of reading. The knowledge in books fills me with endless longing for my future life. Because I like daydreaming, my mother often says that I am an ambitious and whimsical child.

I like dancing and music since I was a child, and my mother is a music teacher. My uncle graduated from the Music Department of Henan University. Music designer of professional literary and art groups, national first-class composer in Henan Province. His flute playing and erhu playing skills are first-class. I have lived in this art family since I was a child, and I am deeply influenced by it. My mouth buzzes almost every day. When I saw my uncle performing a flute solo on the stage, it was very popular with the audience, and I sprouted the desire to learn to play bamboo flute. As a matter of fact, my uncle is too busy to give me regular classes. He only taught me the fingering, lip shape and basic skills of playing the flute. Fortunately, I have a strong imitation ability. So, I went to the bookstore and bought a book about flute playing. According to the method my uncle taught me, I practiced according to the tutorial in the book. In the Woods by the river in front of my grandmother's house, there is a little girl practicing the beautiful image of playing the flute. I remember it didn't take long for me to use my breath freely and my fingering was very flexible. Chantu and Shuang Tu are very clear and lively. I can play simple music until I finally play flute solo on stage. What really taught me skills was the book "Playing the flute".
Later, my uncle thought that playing the flute should be a boy's business, requiring a large lung capacity, and it is better for girls to learn strings, so I began to learn erhu again. When entering erhu practice, it is very formal. I practiced for two months just holding the piano and carrying the bow, and then I began to practice fingering and syllables. Although my uncle was guiding me, I mainly bought the book Erhu Etudes. With the course of erhu etude, I have more correct guidance when I practice hard. I am also the material, so I have made great progress. Until I can play solo songs such as Good Night, Bright Walk, Two Springs Reflecting the Moon, and Empty Mountain Birds freely, gracefully and skillfully. In particular, I can play the song "Jianghu" with tears in my eyes, which makes the people who are listening look awe-inspiring.
At that time, I practiced musical instruments at school and was also a member of the school propaganda team. I often perform outside. With the continuous improvement of erhu technology, my interest is also changing. I suddenly became interested in the violin, because it has a wider range and more complicated skills, and is called the "queen" of musical instruments. Although violin and erhu are both strings, their skills are difficult to learn. Because I am young, it is easier to turn around. Because my uncle was born in folk music, western music is not his major, so this study is all on my own. I borrowed an old violin from Mr. Liu Yuan Tincture in the county cultural center. The next step is to find teaching materials. Through the introduction of my uncle and friends, I borrowed a foreign violin tutorial book and several etudes from friends in the foreign music industry and got a treasure. Because these textbooks need to be returned to others after use, I need to copy all the books and several etudes. My neighbor and classmate Shen helped me with my violin lessons. She used the font of official script and the worker copied the whole book. This shows how much we loved books at that time. I practice according to the flow of etudes. I work hard and can practice for several hours a day. Learning from employees is also buying a book "How to Know Employees". This booklet taught me about the staff, from the original tadpoles to the phrases on the bow. At that time, I was famous for being diligent and eager to learn. I don't know why I study so hard. First, it may be your own interests and talents. Second, perhaps because of reading, I was sensible earlier. In my opinion, a person must have a skill in order to stand on the world. Third, it was the pressure from the comprehensive factors of society, environment and family at that time. Therefore, my study has been forced to rest by adults, fearing that I will be exhausted.
Because of my love of reading, natural artistic quality and hard training, I have a strong understanding ability, I can learn everything at once and act boldly. When I practice the violin to a certain extent, I consciously need the guidance of the teacher. I heard that one of Pingdingshan Song and Dance Troupe is the chief violinist from Shanghai, and his playing skills are very famous. I decided to ask him to see if my study methods and skills are correct. Because no one introduced me, I took a bus to Pingdingshan to find the song and dance troupe directly and knocked on the violin teacher's door. After entering the door, I introduced myself first, took out my violin and immediately played it directly to him. I played some violin etudes, and then I played a tune. The violin teacher with a surprised face said to me, "Your playing method is very formal, with good pitch and rhythm. The most outstanding thing is that you have a very good sense of music. Everything you play by hand is very nice. This is the most rare quality of an instrumental player. " Finally, he said something to me that I will never forget in my life. He said, "You are still a little girl who broke into the world with a violin."
With excellent instrumental performance skills, he was admitted to the regional professional literary and art groups, and his level was recognized by several music designers in the group. My instrumental skills are childlike, my bow fingering is flexible, my basic skills are solid, my sense of music is good, my emotions are delicate and my musical expression is strong. Once I practiced the violin concerto "Butterfly Lovers" in the dormitory. Colleagues passed by and thought I was playing records in my room. I didn't know it was me until I came in. It wasn't long before I joined the work, and I became the business backbone of the band in the group. Basically completed the performance and recording of the group, the solo part of violin and erhu. At that time, our orchestra was one of the best solo orchestras in the province, because our orchestra had a very good music designer (orchestral player) and conductor from Beijing Central National Orchestra. He has high requirements for every player in the orchestra, and I have benefited a lot from his guidance. In fact, I also enjoy every beautiful and harmonious note and chord when the band plays music, which is close to the joy from fairy tales.
I still like reading in my spare time. Except professional books, many of them are miscellaneous books. Fortunately, my colleague who plays the violin with me also likes reading, and his father is also a teacher. I borrowed many books from him, such as Dante's Divine Comedy and Byron's Don Juan. I often borrow books from the group library, such as john christopher, The Silent Don, Red and Black, Storm of War, Jane Eyre, Good Friends, Les Miserables, lev tolstoy and Dostoevsky, as well as Dumas, Dumas, Mo Bosang, Chekhov, Hemingway and Balzac. China's classic works, such as Lu Xun, Ba Jin and Mao Dun. I watched it at home, so I let it go temporarily. In short, at that time, I searched any book I thought was readable. The human brain absorbs water like a sponge and can learn a lot. I remember once standing in the outer corridor on the second floor of our dormitory in a white dress with small flowers and a thick and long braid. Colleagues saw it and said, "Come and see Lena and see if she is like the young Katyusha Maslova who came down from the manor in the movie Resurrection." Resurrection is also a book I like to read very much.

After marriage, my husband is a painter, drawing, art design, and he brought a batch of art books. While helping him spread paper and study ink and wash, I read books on Chinese and foreign art history, painting theory and advertising design, discussed the topic of studying art and painting, and met a group of friends in the art world in my hometown. Music and art are inherently interlinked, so I quickly entered, and they all appreciated and recognized my natural aesthetic and discriminating ability.
To tell the truth, because I have developed the habit of reading since I was a child, I am not very interested in any woman's jewelry in my life, but I have always cherished books. Although I am obsessed with books, I am definitely not a bookworm, nor a "two-legged bookcase", nor will I be out of touch with the world. I have been living and studying. I remember doing beauty makeup at that time, buying some books about makeup artists, practicing on my face while learning, and soon learning makeup artists, so I started a makeup artist business, not only making money by myself, but also working as a makeup artist for the TV Spring Festival Evening in the city. Later, I wanted to learn aerobics, so I decided to go to Health and Beauty magazine. I have a foundation in dance and body. According to the pictures of aerobics published in magazines, I learned several sets of aerobics on TV, so I started an aerobics instructor and started an aerobics class. There are many students in the first phase, from all walks of life. Later, a bodybuilding competition was to be held in the province, and the regional sports department informed me to join the bodybuilding team and participate in the competition on behalf of the mainland of the province. Bodybuilding is a new subject, and there were no teachers at that time. The best way is to find books. I specialize in bodybuilding training according to the method described in the magazine. According to the required time and regulations of the competition, I designed the movements of the bodybuilding competition and selected the music clips of the competition. In order to reduce subcutaneous fat, I jog 10 thousand meters almost every day and train with dumbbells, barbells, weightlifting and other equipment. My muscles grow up little by little, the thin part is thin, and the swollen part is swollen. The human body is like a beach, but it is carefully carved. Although the training was very hard during that time, I gained a lot. It was the most beautiful period of my figure. On the stage of the provincial bodybuilding competition, female bodybuilders dressed in rose bikinis set off the shining bodybuilding ketone bodies, and made a series of sculptural bodybuilding movements in the ups and downs of music, all of which were like Venus in action, which was simply beautiful. The gymnasium that can accommodate tens of thousands of people is full. This is a feast of health and beauty, and the flash and applause of photography and cameras come and go. Others say that I am a ballet dancer and bodybuilder, and I have a kind of beauty of combining rigidity and flexibility in modeling and performance, which is very expressive. After the goal, I came to the sports world as an artist and won the provincial prize. I shouted excitedly, long live youth!
With the rapid development of society, in order to survive better, I opened a decoration company. I am a layman in decoration, so let's start with the most basic decoration materials. Although the company has art decoration designers and construction personnel, it has not hired decoration project budget personnel for the time being. The project negotiation will be held soon, and the project budget has not come out yet. I don't think it matters. There are books. I bought professional books on project budget and borrowed a project budget form from an acquaintance of China Construction Seventh Bureau. After studying for a few days, I should have made a decoration project budget according to the project quota and budget procedure, which laid a good foundation for my future business, because managers who don't understand business are not good operators.
In my entrepreneurial experience, there is one thing that is even better: I will contract a hotel renovated by my own Meng Lan decoration company. Because all the regional insurance companies with hotels are willing to give me the contract, they take a fancy to my ability. This is a hotel integrating catering, accommodation and entertainment. I have never studied hotel management. What should I do? Never mind, I still turn to books. I bought a book on hotel management to ponder. I hired a well-paid chef and backyard manager, and he brought a good team of chefs to cook Cantonese food. From 1000 applicants, dozens of beautiful and handsome hotel waiters and waitresses who can speak Mandarin and sing and dance were selected and recruited for a half-month professional training in hotel services. When the hotel opened, dozens of guests were invited. Because I am an inexperienced general manager, the waiter and I were at a loss that day. The food is a mess, some dishes that should have been served are not served, and some dishes on the table are repeated. Fortunately, none of the guests blamed me. They looked at me as an amateur manager, sincerely apologizing and smiling shyly, and kept praising my courage. The waiter and I are as busy as a bee. It's really cute. I, the general manager, was hungry in the hotel all day. Not long after, through the knowledge and practice of hotel management I learned from books, I managed to make the hotel colorful, with cultural taste and personality, and become a famous local hotel. On one occasion, a dozen Hong Kong businessmen and bosses flew to us for a second investment investigation. On the plane, they discussed where to go after getting off the plane, and everyone said "Lanyuan Hotel" in unison.
For a time, I was almost too busy to attend to business management. Every morning when I get up and dress up and set off on my Honda "Great Black Shark" motorcycle, I feel so heroic that I almost feel like I'm going to war. I lost a "double gun" in my waist and became a woman. It is not easy for two enterprises to operate together. So many people still have to rely on you for food, and business needs to run at full capacity to survive in the competition. It's really dangerous. Many things happen by accident. Really tired. I haven't been home before twelve o'clock at night. When I go back, it's usually one or two in the evening, whether it's windy, rainy or freezing. I often carry stun guns and stun guns with me. The "red road", "white road" and "underworld" in society need to be taken care of one by one. People are highly concentrated in energy and intelligence, overworked, overdrawn in health, and hoarse for many days. The Chinese doctor said to me, "It's no use taking medicine. You are too tired and your internal organs are out of balance, but you can recover as long as you have a good rest. " Just after the Spring Festival holiday, the decoration company and the hotel were closed, so I had a chance to have a good rest for a few days and my voice recovered immediately. But when people rest, their eyes and brains will not rest. Reading has become my living habit, so the way to rest during this time is reading, and the category of reading is more complicated.
I don't know what a father said to his daughter in that book impressed me deeply: "As a woman, do you choose home or office?" Choose a family. You sleep with your husband in your arms at night. Choose an office and rest in front of the TV with a pillow at night. "From this point of view, I seem to have chosen the office in my life trajectory. This is me. I love reading. I seem to be a woman who comes out of a book and goes back to it to find the knowledge she should learn and need. Reading makes me a learner and a capable practitioner. People always look so enthusiastic, resourceful, tenacious, elegant and simple, and always so unique, living in their own works (stories). My family and friends give me the impression that I am always confident, I can succeed no matter what I do, and my thinking will always be at the forefront of society.

Someone once said: "The most fundamental thing about reading is that it can nourish the spirit. People have three treasures of spirit and poems in their bellies. Reading different books can keep different spirits. Heroism, aura, peace and boldness can be cultivated; Evil spirits, sour spirits, and strange spirits can also be raised. Reading is as indispensable to people as eating and drinking water. We can draw gas from books, which will ripple in our blood vessels, fill our whole body and radiate from every pore. " China's philosophy focuses on gas, reading and saving energy! I think reading can not only nourish my spirit, but also become my best friend and teacher in my life. I have been growing up in communication with books. It taught me a lot of truth and practical knowledge. The most important thing is that I have learned to think independently and have the courage to seize fleeting opportunities, advance and retreat freely and calmly. The habit of loving reading can also make me constantly update my knowledge structure with the development, changes and needs of society, so as not to feel at a loss or out of touch on the way forward, thus being abandoned (eliminated) by society.
Books have always accompanied me along the way, hard but colorful. Originally, I was a person who accepted new things quickly, with rebellious personality and reverse thinking. After getting all kinds of comprehensive knowledge in the book, my thinking is more active, and I have developed keen observation, understanding and imagination, and I have more judgment and analysis ability, reflection and criticism ability for things and things. After entering the network era, with the diversification of information and knowledge, my vision is gradually broadened, and my reading ability and acceptance ability are more like a duck to water. Although I still browse and read, I wolfed down the date without asking for a very good solution. However, it is undeniable that reading has continuously improved my cognitive ability. After all, reading and studying is a lifetime thing. I quite agree with a powerful blogger "Thinker" who posted a sentence at the bottom of my blog: "Reading should be critical reading, without authority or absoluteness. Take life as the blueprint and your true self as the benchmark. Reading is to practice life. "
The purpose of my study is very simple, not for diplomas and academic qualifications, not for official career and being an official, nor for entering any "national" level. The reality is that I have a culture, but I don't have a degree; I am capable, but I don't have a diploma. When someone asks me, "Then why do you still like reading?" I said, "For interest, for survival." Just like a friend once asked me, "Why do you like writing?" I blurted out, "Because I have something to say."
In 2006, when I published my poem "Miscellaneous Family" in the Cultural Square of Xinhuanet Forum, it was warmly praised by netizens. Among them, Wenyou's "Vernacular Interpretation" has a comment: "Smart generalist! Smart women can cook without rice! Thank you very much! " In fact, literary friends don't know that smart daughter-in-law cooks with rice! Here, I use the poem "sage" as the end of this article, which seems to be a good choice.
