I fell in love with reading when I was very young. But the real addiction to reading, from the confused period of youth began.

Sensitive and fragile youth period, I have suffered failure, also suffered love. Every pain is enough to make the heart full of holes. At that time, a heart sank to the bottom of the sea and felt that it was suffocating. So, I dived into the book and began to find a quiet water in the reading. To my satisfaction, reading really saved me, gradually repaired the pain in my heart, and let me see a beautiful landscape.

It has been said that "the history of one's spiritual development should be the history of one's reading." I think so. Reading is a kind of redemption, which can make the soul grow up slowly and become flexible and strong. I remember well how reading saved me from my depression.

After I failed that year, it was like I was autistic, and I wouldn't talk to anyone. Mother saw me all day without saying a word, only sighing. The family was shrouded in my bad mood, and my father began to be silent, just smoking. I don't want to see the disappointed eyes of my parents, but I can't find a way to save myself. Later, my aunt came to my home and gave me a lot of books, she said: "You like to read and write since childhood, read a book, read you also write!" Years later, I learned that my parents could do nothing about my condition, so I had to ask my aunt in the city, who wanted me to find a way to save myself in a book.

What a rich and magical process reading is! Those magical words, like a magic spirit, arranged and combined into a variety of looks, expressing different ideas, some profound, some touching, some cold, some warmth, some wisdom, some humor. It's as if you're talking to a million people - people need to communicate, and to communicate with the author of a book is to communicate with many intelligent and spiritual minds. I always thought that a book must be the result of all the ingenuity of the author. On a daily basis, people may be doing innocuous communication with others, but once presented in the form of a book, the author will definitely condense all the wisdom in it. The books I read ranged from masterpieces of literary masters to collections of works by lesser known authors. This allowed me to look up and down, and I picked up my pen and tried to express myself. In this way, my emotions have an outlet to express, and my soul also has sustenance. Reading makes me full up, but also let me forget their pain.

From then on, I firmly believe that reading is a kind of salvation. Reading is like a pair of powerful hands, whenever I am lonely and helpless, reading can always give me strength, make my heart more and more powerful. In the years that followed, reading became my closest companion, and I hardly stopped reading a day.

Years of ups and downs, life warm and cold, reading accompanied me through countless spring and autumn. I am grateful for reading, which not only teaches me to face difficulties, but also teaches me how to face life. Over the years, I've had my share of setbacks and failures, flowers and applause. People are easy to forget when proud, when I am proud, the heart began to impetuous. However, as long as I sink into reading, I will return to peace, begin to look at myself, and then adjust my mentality, lose vanity and superficially, and then travel light.

Reading has always kept me indifferent to the state of mind, many years later, I feel that their reading has no utilitarian, purely from the heart of a spiritual need, I am completely enjoying reading. When I read, I forget everything and my mind is at peace. Reading makes me no matter where I am, when I am, I can give birth to the wings of my heart and fly far with the wind. I think that reading really redeemed me, let me out of the vulgar and shallow, narrow and low, vulgar and trivial, and arrived at a kind of elegant natural, humiliation of life realm.以上翻译结果来自有道神经网络翻译(YNMT)· 通用场景
