Buying a car or a house with a mortgage is commonplace today. But a century ago, a 17-year-old boy "mortgaged" to buy a set of the Britannica! By the time he paid off the book debt in three years, he had already read through it once. This is Wang Yunwu, the English teacher of Hu Shih, the author of this book, an educator, and a publisher.
From a young age, we are taught various learning methods and techniques, such as "how to concentrate in class," "how to preview and review," "how to solve problems," and so on. Books on this topic are abundant and ever-growing. Of course, this book is not a magic pill for "how to learn."
Drawing from his own experience—starting with just basic literacy and self-studying to become the "father of a PhD"—the author offers practical and actionable advice on "how to read" and "how to learn." Whether you are in school or seeking self-improvement, this small book is sure to provide you with some help.
