Thanks to Lin Zhiying, who is popular in China, Kimi and his son are embarrassed at the French Book Festival. In children's reading activities, Kimi, who has a long way to go, is politely advised by the French library. Lin Zhiying and his son's embarrassing incident, it is worth fearing that their children lost on the starting line of every Chinese parents ponder.
One summer, Lin took her son Xiaozhi on a trip to Lyon, France, just in time for the Reading Festival. In an effort to encourage children to read more, the local largest city library has launched an activity-who reads the most in two weeks, will have a big gift for him.
Like other parents, Lin Zhiying quickly registered her child. As soon as the prescribed time came, Xiao Zhi and many other children received the books to be read under the arrangement of the city library staff.
Xiao Zhi was very hard-working and gave up all his activities. A week later, after city library staff assessment, Xiaozhi read three books, the other French children did not complete one.
Lin Zhiying watched the child by far ahead of the very happy, encourage the child frequently, let him continue to encourage, seize the rest of the week, strive for a record for the father to honor!
At this time, the city library staff came, with a first-place gift to Lin Zhiying, said: "I hope your child give up this reading activity, the gift can be sent to you first."
Lin Zhiying asked in surprise: "there is another week, why give gifts ahead of time?" Why let my child out? "
The staff member said: "because your child reads for reading, only wants to compete first, does not understand the content, does not feel the reading pleasure." Reading is not a game, it is not utilitarian. He reads so frantically that, if he wins the first place, he will set a bad example for the other children. Therefore, we send you a gift in advance, he quit, the other children do not have a sense of anxiety, will be heart to feel the joy of reading. "
Lin Zhiying was a little angry, but after listening to the staff members' words, she nodded and did not even ask for gifts. She sincerely took the initiative to get her son out of the activity.
The incident touched Lin Zhiying very much, he said to friends: "We teach our children to read, the purpose is not pure, set goals, as if to complete the task. This trip to France made me understand that reading is to relax, that is to enjoy, children reading just because they are happy, it is so simple. "
As a child, Chinese people who are regulated or even forced to read books continue to read very rarely when they grow up. People write text messages, browse Weibo or play games on the phone without making phone calls, or hustle and bustle, or get busy alone. There is only a lack of peace of satisfaction.
And these, enjoy reading the French people from childhood, but keep the habit of reading for life. On the train, in the subway, at the airport. A Frenchman with a vision, each holding a book, a newspaper, or a kindle, read as if no one had paid attention to it.
Real reading means that you forget the world around you, with the author, in another world, happy, sad, angry, peaceful. It is an irreplaceable, complete life experience. It is not the message of those fragments and exaggerated videos that can be replaced.
Of course, the internet erodes reading is a globalized phenomenon; people now lack the space to be alone and not lonely, to talk to another person-their own soul. Life is always tiring, we all need a short "turn off" time, let ourselves only get along with themselves, reading, writing, dazed, paranoid. Liberate the soul and put it back in your heart. Perhaps we should not be overcritical-too busy is pressure, not a fault. But just worry, if it alienates our souls because we are busy, we may pay for it in the future, so we would rather slow down and relax.
A child is a piece of white paper, grown-up environment and education will shape his character.
Finally, to parents, the famous thinker Roman Roland's famous saying: no one has ever read for reading, only to read in the book, find themselves in the book, or examine themselves.
