Song Lian’s reading experience

Song Lian’s courtesy name was Jinglian and his nickname was Qianxi. An important minister in the Ming Dynasty, he was known as "the first of the founding civil servants". Most of the rituals and music of a generation were adjudicated by him. He wrote a lot of works, including "History of the Yuan Dynasty" and "Collected Works of Scholars of the Song Dynasty".

When he was young, his family was poor and he often borrowed books to study hard. In his article "Preface to Ma Sheng in Dongyang", he described his experience of studying hard: He loved reading when he was young, but his family was poor and could not afford books. I would often go to the home of a book collector to borrow books. Once I borrowed a book, I would rush to copy it day and night. Even in the cold weather, when the inkstone water froze and my fingers were frozen, I could not write. He kept his word when borrowing books and returned them on time. Only those with books would be willing to lend him books.

When Song Lian was studying and encountered a problem that he could not solve himself, he would travel hundreds of miles away to find a famous teacher for advice. In the severe winter, he endured hunger, braved the wind and snow, walked through huge valleys, and climbed mountains. His feet were cracked by the cold and had bloody wounds, but he continued to look for his teacher. Song Lian studied hard for more than ten years and finally achieved outstanding results.

The origin of "Sanwei Bookstore"

Lu Xun entered the "Sanwei Bookstore" private school at the age of 12 and studied under Mr. Shou Jingwu. Mr. Lu Xun later wrote an article "From Baixi Garden to "Sanwei Bookstore"" to recall this experience.

The original name of "Sanwei Bookstore" was "Sanyu Bookstore", which was named after Mr. Shou Jingwu's grandfather, Mr. Shou Fenglan. At that time, Dong Yu taught his disciples to seize the "three surplus" time to study. Dong Yu explained "three surplus" as: "Winter means the remaining years, recognition means the remaining days, and cloudy and rainy means the sunny days." According to Mr. Shoufenglan Naming the bookstore is intended to guide students to cherish time and study diligently.

Later Shoufenglan read Su Shi's poem praising Dong Yu's "three mores": "The flavor of this life lies in the three mores." After careful consideration, I feel that "three flavors" are better than "three more". Those with "three flavors" "read the classics and taste like rice, read history like delicious food, and read hundreds of scholars and taste like glutinous rice." Cultivate students' interest in reading and guide students Study hard actively. Reading three flavors is endless fun.

When cleaning up his things, he handed over all his marshal uniforms, fox fur coats, carpets, etc. He said, "I don't want anything that ordinary people don't need. But I can't throw away any books." He moved his collection of more than 20 boxes of books to his new home on the outskirts of Beijing. In 1965, when he went to work on the third front line in Southwest China, he took more than 20 boxes of books with him.

During the ten years of catastrophe, Peng Dehuai suffered bad luck and persecution, but what he could not forget were those books. He said to the security staff: "I don't have any other instructions. I just care about my books."

He immersed himself in books after work. There were books everywhere on the table, bed, and cabinets. He studied very seriously, and the books he read were full of annotations.

Cao Yu is reading in the bathtub

Later, he wrote such influential works as "Sunrise" and "Wilderness". In addition, there are also plays "Metamorphosis", "Peking Man", "Home", "Wang Zhaojun" and "The Sword of Courage" co-written with others. It is no accident that he has such brilliant achievements. It is inseparable from his diligent study.

There is an interesting anecdote: Once, Cao Yu's family prepared hot water for the bath and urged Cao Yu, who was studying, to take a bath. After he entered the inner room, no one came out for a long time. His family listened inside and outside, and the sound of water could be heard from time to time in the room. After a long time, no one came out. Cao Yu's wife was suspicious, so she pushed the door open and looked over, "Hey!" It turned out that Cao Yu was sitting in the basin, fascinated by reading. He was holding a book in one hand and looking attentively, while holding a towel in the other hand and patting the water subconsciously. He didn't wash at all, but the water was already cold.

He often stayed up all night reading and looking up information. When he was so sleepy, he used the book as a pillow and lay down in the laboratory for a while. Therefore, someone said wittily: "No wonder Edison has so much knowledge. It turns out that he also absorbs nutrients from books in his sleep."

Franklin and the Book

He founded the Pennsylvania Journal and established the first public library in the United States. . He made important contributions to the study of atmospheric electricity and invented the lightning rod. Author of "Autobiography".

Franklin loved reading since childhood. His family was too poor to go to school, so he had to make a living on his own since he was a boy. I often go hungry and save money to buy books and read.

One day, Franklin saw an old white-haired driver on the road who was too hungry to walk. Lian Xin gave her his only piece of bread. The old woman saw that Franklin was also a poor man and could not bear to accept his bread.

"You can eat, I have plenty in my bag." Franklin said, patting the backpack full of books.

The old woman was eating bread, and Franklin took out a book from his backpack and read it with relish. "Child, why don't you eat bread?" the old woman asked. Franklin smiled and replied: "The taste of reading is much better than bread!"

With financial constraints and limited ability to buy books, he had to borrow books often to read. He often knocked on the door from his friends to borrow books. He would even light a lamp and concentrate on reading. When he was tired, he would pour cold water on his head to refresh himself, sit down and continue reading, and return the book to the owner on time the next morning. , never breaks his promise.

Gorky immersed in books

Gorky, a great writer of the former Soviet Union, Lenin called him "the most outstanding representative of proletarian art."

He was born in a carpenter family during the Tsarist Russia. His father lost his father when he was 4 years old, and he was fostered at his grandmother's house. Because his family was extremely poor, he only attended primary school for two years. He entered the cold "human world" at the age of 10. He worked as an apprentice, a porter, a keeper, and a baker. He also wandered to southern Russia twice and suffered a miserable life. But he likes reading very much. In any case, he will take advantage of every opportunity to read eagerly in the book. As he said himself: "I threw myself on books like a hungry man on bread."

He suffered all the humiliation in order to study. When I was 10 years old, I worked as an apprentice in a shoe store. I had no money to buy books, so I borrowed books from everywhere to read. The preschoolers at that time were actually slaves: they went to the streets to buy groceries, lit the stove, wiped the floor, washed vegetables and took care of the children... they worked from morning until half-finished every day.

After a tiring day, use a homemade lamp to keep reading.

The boss’s wife forbade Gorky to study. She also searched for books in the attic and tore them into pieces when she found them. Because of his studies, he was severely beaten by the landlady. Gorky could endure anything in order to read, even willing to endure torture. He said: "If someone proposes to me: 'Go to the square and beat you with a stick!' I think I can accept this condition."

Due to Gorky's lifelong Reading voraciously and working diligently, he wrote a large number of influential works: "Petrel", "Song of the Eagle", "Mother", "The Life of Klim Samkin", "Childhood", " "Human World" and "My University". In addition, he also wrote scripts and a large number of political commentaries, features, literary criticism, etc.
