Perhaps many people will wonder why a book with similar content should be published in multiple versions. In a word, when the first edition is published, for the sake of cost and feedback, paperback books are often made first, and then hardcover books are added for readers to collect with the booming market. As for the later version, it is partly because of adding and modifying some of the original contents.
I read the third edition-an updated version of grandma's quotations.
The binding form of the book is round ridge hardcover, 32 folio. The cover picture is a painting by Ni Ping. Although there are only a few strokes, it is still quite interesting. In the background of blue, gray and yellow, the figure's back has an artistic beauty of recalling the past life. The red titles on the cover and spine have been UV-treated, which are eye-catching but unobtrusive. The paper used for lining the front and rear rings is a kind of red silk cotton paper, which is warm, elegant and full of warmth. The fly in the ointment is that the design and cover of the title page are not unified, which seems a bit abrupt and random.
The content of the book is to describe the ups and downs of grandma's life by writing the emotional story between Ni Ping and grandma. Grandma's words are as plain as water, but they moisten my heart. Although my 99-year-old life has no culture, I have a transparent view of life without losing my wisdom.
Grandma said: listen when you say it backwards, and what you say in your heart is true. Don't feel taller than others, and don't be afraid of being shorter than others. I have a bowl of rice for others to eat, and I am hungry myself. This is called helping others. If you can't eat a pot of rice, give someone a bowl and ask them to help you.
What you say is truth, and what you read is emotion.
When to mix in grandma's eyes, only by comparison can we know that we are good at it, and we don't know that we are old if we don't look at the young. I don't know how good I can sit without looking at what's lying on the bed.
People can't always be drawn by infinite desires when they know that they are enough. It is a blessing to live healthily. Don't be too persistent when something happens. You have to hold on by yourself and think about it. At the end of a dark day, it will be bright.
The book also contains a lot of Ni Ping's paintings, interspersed in the text, which is not only an adjustment to the reading rhythm of the text, but also another kind of nostalgia for grandma.
Listen to other people's stories and think about your own life. If it is useful, it will be useful. If it is useless, it will be useless. Just like the sincere and straightforward sentence at the end of the article: flip through this book casually or don't read it.
