Features: Reading is an enjoyment—enjoying the sunshine, its brightness; enjoying the air, its freshness; enjoying the journey, its depth. Reading is a sentiment—attending to nature, yearning to listen, embracing life, entering the heart. Reading is a happiness—small grass and big trees in nature, joys and waves in humanity—all will spark love, overflow with emotion, reveal laughter’s comfort, and taste bitterness’s bitterness. Zhuangzi’s transcendence, Tao Yuan’s seclusion, Yue Fei’s heroic spirit, Lu Yao’s perseverance—all will give you a clear, calm, abundant, and aspiring heart. Reading makes you like the wind, sweeping across mountains and rivers, the Yellow River, the Yellow Mountains, the Yangtze River, the Great Wall. Reading makes you like the swallow, soaring over green, blue, and yellow homes, coveting Xishuangbanna and the Daxing’anling Mountains, listening to the Yarlung Tsangpo and the Himalayas. Open the door of wisdom and strength, kiss the rose with fresh dew and a faint fragrance! Embrace the life tree that sparkles with wisdom and is full of youthful energy! In the leisurely afternoon, in the twilight of the setting sun, with a cup of tea in hand, open the book. Watch family love like a lamp, quietly illuminating our tearful eyes; savor life as a chess game, holding a calm heart in the life, watching clouds gather and disperse, flowers bloom and fall, and in the blink of an eye, let these beautiful Chinese characters, the deep emotions in ordinary matters, flow through our minds like time. Perhaps what we need is just this feeling.
