Hello everyone, I am Liu Jiayi from G4B. Today, I am sharing the topic of "The Purpose of Reading".

As a student, we read books every day. I would like to ask you, what is your purpose for reading? Now let's explore together.

Zixia said, "A wise and virtuous person can change their appearance. When it comes to serving their parents, they can exhaust their strength. When it comes to serving a gentleman, they can fulfill their duties. When they communicate with friends, they have good faith, even if they say they have not learned yet, they must be called learners." The meaning of these words is: when you see a good person, you can respect them, and when you are at home, you can love your family and parents with all your heart. To do things in society, to people and to the country, to give up your own selfishness, it is the sacrifice.

Of course, in the hearts of a thousand people, there will be a thousand Hamlets, and each person's perspective on this issue is also different. Some people believe that studying is to achieve fame, earn more money, and gain higher social status. But I believe that reading should not be a dead book, and knowledge is not only knowledge, but rather the character and cultivation of being a person, which is the way of dealing with people. Just like Confucius asked, isn't it for the sake of the country, for the sake of life, for the sake of the Tao? So what it is to sacrifice your lives and fortunes.

If all the above requirements can be met, even if the person has not read a book for a day, we will still consider them very knowledgeable. Although it may be difficult to implement, I believe that as long as we have a firm belief, we can definitely achieve it.

Now, do you have an answer in your mind?

This is my understanding of the purpose of reading, and I look forward to hearing everyone's voices. Thank you.
