13. Liang Qichao's reading method
First, reading should be divided into two categories: specialization and exposition. On the one hand, we should develop the habit of reading carefully, and on the other hand, we should develop the habit of reading quickly. If you don't know the details, you will get nothing, which is equivalent to reading in vain. If you don't have a quick eye, you won't have enough time to get information. Secondly, some books should be read by heart, such as valuable literary works and beneficial aphorisms. Third, make reading notes. Because a good memory is not as good as a bad writing.

181 million and 1 billion
One time I read a newspaper, I was deeply impressed by two figures: First, there are 1 million out-of-school children in China every year; First, the public funds for eating, drinking and traveling in China have exceeded 1 billion. If it is evenly distributed among 1 million children, each child will get an astronomical figure. But they really can't pay tuition and fees of several hundred yuan a year. There are so many "black sheep" with their mouths wide open that they eat up the tuition fees of dozens of children for one year at a meal, which makes people not "worry about the sky".

Su Dongpo saw an unfinished poem of "Chanting Chrysanthemum" written by Wang on the table: "Last night, the west wind crossed the garden, blowing yellow flowers and gold everywhere." He read it very disapprovingly, so he continued: "Yellow flowers are not like spring flowers, so listen carefully to the poet." When the post-poet was demoted to Huangzhou, he was enjoying chrysanthemums with his friends at night, when the autumn wind started, only to see the petals of chrysanthemums falling to the ground one after another, which was like spreading gold all over the floor. Su Dongpo began to know his ignorance.
