Dear teachers and students

Good morning, everyone!

I'm Yang Fengyuan from Class 2110 High School. Today, the topic of our speech is reading。

"The joy of reading？The grass will not be cut in front of the window。Before and after the Qingming Festival is the busy season of spring farming and spring planting, for the ancients, the time to read can be described as quite limited。Today, we can set the theme of April as "Youth Reading Season", which is undoubtedly a special luck。But I think there's also a heritage here。The object of cultivation turns from the earth to the heart, through reading, Mingxin see sex, and strive to achieve a more comfortable and complete life。

There is, of course, a direct correlation between April as Reading Month and World Book Day on April 23。On April 23, 1616, Shakespeare and Cervantes died at the same time, and more than 400 years later, the world will still hold books because of them, enough to see the long history, the long flow of culture, and enough to see the close connection between books and their authors。

As "professional reader" Donnell said, we can get the most essence of a great writer and thinker's life through reading。Reading makes the infinite broad, infinite world open to us, and behind this world, is a hidden giant。He may sit at the table, or he may sit under the lamp。He may be in the center of the stage of The Times, or may be like a comet across the sky。Chuang Tzu wrote for those who would understand him in the generations to come, and Wang Xi Zhi believed that "those who will read him in the future will also feel the sven."。At the end of his life, the blind Borges bent down three or four hundred meters from the pyramids, picked up a handful of sand, silently let it fall a little further, and whispered: I am changing the Sahara desert。Perhaps, every writer is like this, struggling to leave his traces in this world and go to his eternity。Perhaps, every person with a dream is so, hoping to supplement the mountains and seas with the dust and mist, and enhance the sun and moon with the light of the firefly candle。Readers attentively inspired through the text, the ancient sage will always be active present。

However, we also need to be wary of turning our minds into racetracks for the thoughts of others。Being buried in a pile of old papers and becoming a bag of lost books has never been the way we advocate reading。Instead, what we expect is to find a spiritual dwelling place between understanding and criticism, between cold and warm currents。For example, about A Dream of Red Mansions，It is true that "everyone is Jia Baoyu.，The old lady loved Lin Daiyu，But this kind of empathy for the protagonist，That doesn't mean every reader should agree with Jia Baoyu's life choices，Let alone encourage students to feel that the world is "naked and unencumbered"，The next straw shoes to break the pot and follow the fate。Cao Xueqin's pursuit of the ultimate meaning of life is actually the affirmation of the value of "feeling" and the publicity of life forms with dignity, morality, passion and poetry。The ubiquitous sense of disillusionment is precisely alerting readers to the fundamental limitations of human beings。However, the daughters of the Grand View Garden are living out their precious selves in the predestined and irreparable tragedy, just like butterflies flying in the wind, and every flutter of their wings is the dance of life。So, in the vast universe, how should we face this only one life？Books are not so much repositories of wisdom as mirrors and lamps, not always able to provide answers, but enough to bring fresh eyes to the world and life。

And our reading of the world and the world is more than words？Confucius said, "What is heaven？How to do four hours, a hundred things born ";Lao Tzu said, "The road is invisible," "the sound is great," "those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know."。Being distracted and distracted is the gesture of reading a book with words, and it should also be the way of observing a book without words。To read a picture, a movie, but also read a river, a mountain, a white cloud, a pair of clear and moist eyes。Let what comes from knowledge eventually enter life。Even the smallest thing can open it, and through the effort of reading, make it broad。

At the age of 19, Su Zhe wrote: "Although the books of Baishi are read in every way, they are all ancient stories, which are not enough to inspire his ambition.。Fear of gurgling, so determined to give up, for the world spectacular, to know the vast world。"This is the spirit of a young man, and it still applies today。

If the heart is clear, I am clear - the fifth "Youth Reading Season" activity of Tsinghua Affiliated High School has kicked off。We look forward to setting up a reading group, striving to be a good reader, and actively participating in activities, so that the book will fill the campus and cultivate the heart。

Willing to book for the boat, to read for the orchid oar, eyes and thousands of miles, heart nearby。Thank you all。
