How beautiful literature is

“Is literature just a decoration in real life? , is it a dispensable thing? Is the major I studied and loved really meaningless?" As a graduate of the first "Junior High School Bing Xin Literature Class", Yu is currently studying at Capital Normal University, majoring in Chinese language and literature. Feifei asked at the launch ceremony of the "High School Bing Xin Literature Class" held recently at Beijing No. 166 Middle School.

But in fact, she has already had her own thinking: Although literature has no practical value, it does not mean that literature is meaningless. Yes, literature is not a productive force, but literature is an attitude towards life.

Since entering the "Bing Xin Class", literature has also entered her life and has become an inextricable complex in her heart. She often has a strong desire to express herself and want to tell people how beautiful literature is. Whenever she sees children who hate Chinese, she always feels that they need better enlighteners to help them find the point of convergence between themselves and literature. She even believed that spreading literature was her mission.

The 22-year-old will graduate from college next year. She is at a crossroads in life, and the pressure of reality has already appeared in front of her: employment, housing, and marriage. Maybe in the near future, she will be in pain and confusion about her future, calculating carefully for a small amount of money, and worrying about small things.

“If you are unable to change external conditions, then do you choose to run around anxiously like an ant, or live on the earth in a noble manner? If a person is influenced by literature, he has With a poetic vision, we only seek to satisfy our ideals and tastes in everything, and do not care about gains and losses. In this way, we can transcend practicality in a certain sense and gain spiritual enrichment." These principles came to her attention when she was 13 years old. Already told her. "Why don't we be more calm? The trees are there. The mountains are there. The earth is there. The years are there. I am here. What else do you want for a better world?"

"We are treating it with a normal heart. Literary education provides students with a free and broad stage, allowing students to regard Chinese learning as a joy of life. Through Chinese learning, they can become a person full of humanistic spirit and be able to speak plainly, truly and calmly at any time. To life." said Wang Lei, principal of Beijing No. 166 Middle School.
