The copy accompanying the World Book Day public welfare short film is urgently needed!

Reading has increasingly become a ritual prop. Understandably, times have changed after all. The belief that reading can change one's destiny once took root throughout China. In today's society, the ways and means of changing one's destiny are increasingly diverse, and people can pursue value in the fields they are good at and interested in. "Everything is inferior, only reading is good" is no longer true. The obvious fact is that reading does not guarantee success. Not only does it not guarantee success, it is not very cool and lacks passionate and highlight moments. Therefore, on the occasion of World Book Day, book lovers should ask themselves this question: Reading does not guarantee success, so why read at all?

Acknowledging that reading does not guarantee success, one of the benefits is that you can de-utilize reading and return to the origin of reading. What is the origin of reading? Everyone’s experience is limited. Someone has thought and realized something in a certain field and written it into a book. We are interested in reading it, thereby jumping out of the limitations of real life and directly absorbing and appreciating the essence of other people’s years of work. Through colorful and heterogeneous situations, you can appreciate the diversity of human experience, and at the same time stop looking at the inner world and broaden your own life width

As you grow older, people should gradually become a Intrinsically motivated people reduce temptation to the primitive animal level. Excessive material dependence and sensory stimulation will only increase emptiness, boredom and loneliness. Reading is a simple and simple activity with extremely low cost. That kind of sincere enrichment can be obtained by one person. In contrast, wealth and wealth seem to be rare. An open-minded person like Confucius would also say: "Wealth can be sought. Even if you are a man with a whip, I will do it. If you can't ask for it, do what I like." People follow the trend and imitate the myth of sudden wealth, but they don't know that these are just rare individuals. Cases are illusions produced by survivor bias. From a probability perspective, you are as likely to become that myth as you are to fall to your death while walking downstairs to get takeout. It is not worthwhile to spend all your energy and time trying to figure out and flatter power. These energy and time can be used to learn to appreciate great things and spirits. How pitiful it is to spend your whole life just being obsessed with power that will eventually dissipate!

Reading is not only a free activity, but also the power that makes people free. There is always a chorus of vulgar forces in the living environment, trying to pull you into it all the time. The obvious ones include venting entertainment such as gambling, games and disco music, and satisfying entertainment such as celebrity scandals and entertainment gossip. They occupy a lot of time and arouse emotions, making people lazy to think in the midst of enjoyment and comfort, and believing in simplified dogmatic assertions. Chen Pingyuan once said: "Reading itself is nothing great. But the act of reading means that you do not fully identify with the world." Reading is your own silent "non-violent non-cooperation movement", allowing you to always construct your own Section, refuse to be a baby that will never grow up under the pacifier culture, dare to use your own reason and become yourself. This proud posture may be the "hard core" value of reading.
