Chapter 29 Introduce a friend to the children

Dear children: I am very happy because today I have this opportunity to introduce to you a very warm, loyal and lovely friend of mine. This friend has been with me for almost fifty years, and I knew him not long after I learned to read.Since then, he has often been with me, telling me all kinds of new and interesting stories, long and short, Chinese or foreign, and fairy tales about the history and geography of various countries in the world. Helping me to speak clearly and vividly, he helped me write lively and beautiful articles.Especially when I am sick, or alone, he is always with me.He always helps me and encourages me, he increases and expands my experience of life, he makes me feel rich and happy in life, and he always takes me on the way to the top.

Children!This friend is not only a good friend of mine alone, but also a good friend of thousands of people in the world who love literary and artistic works, because his name is called literary and artistic works. I know that many children have made good friends with literature and art works. I know that many children have delayed eating and sleeping in order to read literature and art works!Originally, good literary and artistic works are so interesting, whether they are novels, fairy tales, poems, plays, or short essays, they are all extremely lively and vivid, making us reluctant to put them down after reading them. After reading it, we will never forget it. The vivid images of heroes and advanced figures in the book will always remain in our minds, making us love them, envy them, worship them, and try to learn from them.

Children, teenagers born in the Mao Zedong era are really happy!The party and the government try their best to provide you with more good books. You have your own bookstore, children's bookstore, which provide you with various good children's books. You have your own newspapers and magazines, and they often introduce you to good books suitable for you to read. literary works.Unlike when we were young, there were almost no children's books. Most of the books sold in those bookstores and stalls were not to our taste, or not suitable for us to read, or even harmful to us.For example, those absurd stories of fairy swordsmen who spread feudal superstitions lead us to think wildly, make us leave the life in front of us, and even think of Emei Mountain to visit Taoism.However, children, this kind of harmful reading material has not been completely eliminated. We can still see it in individual small bookstores and small book stalls.We just need to remember that any book that we read can inspire us to love the motherland, love the people, love labor, love science, care for public property, and help us stay healthy, study well, and work well, that is a good book.Conversely, a book that turns us into a person who is not strong, lively, courageous, dishonest, and unworthy of new socialists is a bad book, and we should all be careful not to read it.

Children, if we get a good literary work, how should we read it to fully get its benefits?I think a good book is worth reading several times. For example, the first time is to read the stories in the book, and the second time is to pay attention to the description of the heroes in the book, and see what kind of method the author uses to describe these characters. The hero's lovely image and noble quality, the third time is to pay attention to the language used in the book, to see how the author uses the language of the motherland flexibly and vividly, and then read it carefully the fourth time and the fifth time, I believe not only In terms of quality, we have been educated and cultivated, and our writing methods and abilities have also been improved.

Finally, I would like to quote the words of Gorky, a great writer in the Soviet Union. He said: "Love books, it can make your life happy, it teaches you to respect others, and respect yourself. It inspires your thoughts and feelings to love mankind , love peace. Love books, it is the source of your knowledge." Children, these few words, I am willing to keep in mind forever with the children!
