Some people show off, and of course some people complain.
Those who complain still feel that reading is too tiring, and the book lists put out by those who show off have become their excuses.
[The cost of reading books is too high. Who can afford it? It costs several thousand yuan a year? 】
[Yes, the unemployed student party can’t afford it at all. Working people are so exhausted from going to work every day, how can they have time to read.]
[I read a book for several days before I left class.]
Most people don't agree with this view.
[I didn’t ask you to read so many books a year like the original poster. You read more than a dozen books a year. On average, it only costs one or two yuan a day. I think most people can afford it. Let alone students.
Party, there are many student gang members hanging out in bars and KTVs every day, and they don’t even look at you saying they can’t afford it.】
[I think it’s too expensive to buy books, so you can go to the bookstore to read them. If you spend a few hours in the bookstore every week, you can read more than a dozen books in a year.]
[Yes, there are so many books in the bookstore for you to read for free. Not to mention there is a library. 】
[Actually, it’s not a big deal if you don’t like reading, but don’t excuse yourself, just say openly that you don’t like reading.]
[What the person above said is right, reading depends on the individual. Some people like to read, and some don’t. I won’t say who is nobler than the other, but reading is really not a high-consumption expense.
Just don’t deceive yourself with that set of fallacies.】
Zhang Zhong saw many book friends "showing off" and also saw the rebuttal of some netizens.
He felt that some book friends were right, reading a book was not something you had to force yourself to do.
From beginning to end, he never forced anyone to read.
However, he believes that literature is powerful, but many people still cannot feel this power. However, this kind of thing cannot be solved overnight, so he keeps publishing books, donating to schools, and even serves as the dean of the liberal arts academy.
Actually, they all want to subtly change this status quo.
He hopes that through his efforts, more people will be willing to walk into the bookstore, pick up a book and savor it.
To change this situation, it depends not on him alone, but on excellent works one after another. The power of literature can eventually enter everyone's heart.
Reading is addictive.
Reading and expression are an innate primitive desire that arises from the long evolution of human beings. This desire does not lie to people, but now many people are led astray by some fast-paced things.
The data provided by the daily newspaper proves that Zhang Zhong’s efforts have been somewhat effective.
"If you go by this data, you have allowed Chinese people to read billions more books in the past two years." Xu Yuhan looked at the daily press release and said with a smile.
Zhang Zhong shook his head, "This is not my own credit. The readers themselves have their own credit, and the credit of those writers who have worked hard is even more indelible. If you really give me credit, then I should be regarded as some kind of catalyst. If
Without reactants, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to get such a result.”
"You're not greedy for success."
"Humility is a beautiful virtue."
"Then you admit that you are humble?"
…
Since the last release of "Yellow Card Man", readers have become interested in the new book's worldview. These days, people have been discussing everything about the new book's worldview.
Because "Yellow Card Man" reveals too little information and presents too many new things, most readers are still in a state of ignorance. Even if some people boldly make various guesses about the world view of the new book, these guesses
None of them are quite correct.
However, what Zhang Zhong is doing now may help their speculations.
There is another short story with the same world view as "The Wind-Up Girl" - The Calorie Man.
This short story contains more descriptions of the world view of "Clockwork Girl", including Kink Springs, Calorie Company, and the Cheshire Cat.
He will show this novel to readers just before the release of "Clockwork Girl" so that they can have a better understanding of the world view of "Clockwork Girl".
Because he hopes that through the foreshadowing of these two short stories, readers will be able to accept "The Wind-up Girl" more quickly and read this somewhat difficult science fiction novel more smoothly.
At least it can make them feel less sticky when reading.
Like "The Yellow Card Man", he did not draw this short story, so he could only write it out from his own memory.
However, there are some things in it that need to be modified, such as the content about "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
There are many references to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in the book, the most obvious being the Cheshire Cat, which was originally a character in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
However, he could not delete the content related to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and could only shamelessly attribute the book to his own name, so Zhang Zhong's own name would appear in "Calorie Man".
Therefore, after he finished writing "The Calorie Man", he also wanted to write "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
This is much more difficult than writing "Calorie Man" and "Yellow Card Man", after all, the space is here.
He hasn't written a fairy tale for a long time, and "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" can just fill this gap.
"Dad, let me show you my diary today."
While Zhang Zhong was writing "Calorie Man", Pengpeng walked in with her diary.
He stopped typing on the keyboard, took his daughter's diary and looked at it, then smiled with satisfaction, "Not bad, there are commas in today's diary."
If there are commas, it will be more complicated than the previous diary.
[The sun is so bright today, I want to eat jujube, but my father didn’t buy it for me.]
However, the content of the diary has not made much progress, and it is still related to food.
This girl is really hopeless. Is there nothing else she can write about except food?
"Can't you write on this big torch?" Zhang Zhong pointed at the pinyin on it and said.
"I forgot how to write it. How about dad, let's go to the supermarket and buy one, and I'll know how to write it just by looking at the words on it." Pengpeng rolled her eyes and said flatteringly.
Zhang Zhong curled his lips and asked why this girl was so proactive today and even came up to let him read her diary. It turned out that she was still thinking about the big torch ice cream that she didn't eat during the day.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. Dad will find you a picture of a big torch at night. Just look at it and write it. After you finish writing it, look it up in a dictionary and write it ten times."
After that, without any explanation, he used his computer to search for a picture of a big torch ice cream, then pointed at the picture and said to Pengpeng, "Look, this torch is made up of two parts. There is a huge giant next to the word fire..."
