Sun Xu from Sino-US program shared the famous Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, telling the students of all grades about the habits of successful people. This book, which is second only to the Bible in sales in the United States, has been widely praised. At the same time, Sun Xu talked about the power of thinking patterns in the form of a small game, and actively encouraged everyone to jump out of thinking patterns, go out of their own world, and dare to open up a new world.
Yang Jiyuchen from Sino-UK program shared the book Jin Zhiying Born in 82. This book shows the low social status of Korean women in the form of a novel, which extends to the unhealthy phenomenon of modern society and makes people deeply reflect. “Feminism is not hatred of men. All people who believe in equal rights are feminists” – Emma Watson. The sharing of Yang Jiyuchen made everyone remember deeply. We hope that in the near future, everyone can live in this world equally.
Fan Feier from Sino-UK program shared the book Monman’s Comments on the Most Beautiful Tang Poems, and appreciated it with a pun on the Tang poem “The Last Trial of Zhang Shuibu”, which combines the second of the four happy events in life – “Wedding Night” and “When the Golden List was Named”. “The bridal chamber stopped red candles last night, and I paid my respects to my aunt in front of the Xiaotang. After making up, I asked my husband in a low voice. The thrush was as deep as ever.” It seems that he is writing about the happiness of newlyweds, but actually he is writing about his own imperial examination. He hoped that students could not forget the essence of Chinese culture even if they went abroad to study in the future.
Cao Yaqin from Sino-UK program shared the classic Red and Black. Cao Yaqin briefly described the background, writer and cover of Red and Black, and also discussed the benefits of books and films. Cao Yaqin thinks that although the film has gorgeous special effects, high face value protagonists and beautiful music, it may lack some beauty of words. Why is reading meaningful? Because reading has spaces for imagination, as a saying goes: “10000 readers have 10000 different Hamlets in their hearts”. The greatest charm of reading is to add bricks and tiles with their own imagination.
Zhang Yutao from Sino-Australian program shared the book Educated (you should fly to your mountain like a bird), which tells the story of Tara, the author, about the process of a little girl born in a Mormon family growing up and entering a normal society. As the English name of this book is “educated”, what is the meaning of education to us? Zhang Yutao summarized three points according to the book: Education can broaden our horizons and distinguish between facts and lies. Education can improve people’s quality. Education can make life better.
Jiang Yiwen from Sino-Australian program shared the classic The Little Prince, which was described in a combination of Chinese and English. This is a story about a lonely and sad child. The little prince left his planet and began his journey to the earth. He met people full of vanity and people who were dissatisfied with their lives. The book shows the emptiness, blindness and ignorance of the adult world with the eyes of little prince and child. Finally, the sharer concluded that everyone has his own star. If you don’t forget your original intention, people’s biggest problem is not to grow up but to forget.
