An answer to the reading question "What have you lost in reading?"

"Reading, what has been lost?" Reading answer ① Human beings need to read. Thousands of years of creation and reading have become a cultural tradition, a living habit and a spiritual nutrition supplement as important as diet. No matter how developed the times are and how rich our lives are, we still can't live without reading. However, the reality that we can't ignore is that reading is in crisis. Facing the impetuous social mentality, we can't help but reflect on what has been lost in today's reading. We have lost our vanity as scholars. In the past, scholars were admired and respected in people's minds. People are eager to read, love reading and are proud of the books they read. Last year, the champion of liberal arts in Hubei college entrance examination once read Dream of Red Mansions for more than ten times and became the object of admiration. Who is a famous politician, writer and thinker who doesn't like reading? And people who have studied things often pay great attention to reading classics. But now, whether you have books in your hand or read books is not a matter of great concern to people. Traditional paper reading, if it is your own book, will make a lot of marks on the book and write a lot of reading notes. Those yellow papers will record your thoughts and growth. But in today's highly information-based era, we have lost our patience in reading. The "swipe screen" of mobile phone reading speeds up reading, and you can skip what you don't want to see. People can be readers and commentators every day, but in the long run, what they lose is calm thinking and intoxicated reading experience, and what they lose is to be a person with ideological weight and quality of life. Reading in the era of screen-brushing, these residues disappear completely after reading, and reading has no memory. We have lost the ability to appreciate content. Reading should not stop at reading stories, reading stories is just a pastime, and real reading is to increase the weight of life. 6. Take literary works as an example. Hemingway's masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea is a good work. You can read it as an inspirational novel, because there is a famous saying: "A person is not born to be defeated. You can destroy him as much as you can, but you can't beat him. " But looking deeper, it is the loneliness of an old man, the sad song of a failed hero, and that kind of deep loneliness is what the writer wants to express. Looking forward, we can find that the language of the novel is wonderful and warm, with many symbolic metaphors, and we can find many things that people can't figure out. For example, writers often write about the dream of a lion, an old fisherman. The lion is a lonely hero in the desert and grassland. Is this the old man's fear of the sea? Wait a minute. Besides these, you can also read a writer's great humanitarian feelings. The poor and respectable inner monologue of the old fisherman is tantamount to a dialogue with the sea and fate. No violent words, no complaints, no curses, only humble begging and awe, tolerance and understanding. When you read the whole article and read the last sentence, "The old man is a lion in his dream", you feel that forbearance for fate may be the greatest. Therefore, real reading will read more things. We should not give up a great and dignified reading tradition. For today's people, instead of wandering in the wilderness in the confusion of the internet to find the soul, it is better to pick up those works that have been proved by time and read them quietly. Remember, Zeng Guofan once said two words: "A person who likes reading can't be bad in character;" A person with good character can't have bad luck in this life. "
