No matter "Boundless Books", "Book Drift" or "Collection of Books on the Subway", the purpose is to connect people through books. Maybe you and I are strangers to each other, but the book I read in my hand one second will be given to you the next, which is a transfer of knowledge and goodwill.
From a vertical perspective, reading is a spiritual exchange and dialogue with the author, and from another perspective, it is also a connection between people. Cang Kejia said, "Reading a good book is like making a good friend." When you can calm down and immerse yourself between the lines, you can hear many stories and feelings of the writer in this world.
Reading with expanded materials can save people from complicated daily life and establish an individual spiritual paradise.
"Wise people through the ages have found that the happiness of acquiring knowledge is the most satisfying and the most lasting. So it is very good to keep reading habits. After the golden years of your life, you will find that there are very few activities that you can participate in happily. Cultivating the habit of reading can build a shelter for you and let you escape from almost all the sadness in the world. " -Mao Mu's reading is a portable refuge.
Mao Mu's words explain why we advocate lifelong learning, because no matter what age, reading is always the most cost-effective investment. You can start reading at any time or close the book at any time. It doesn't cost much to buy a book, and you can even borrow books from the library without spending money. However, the pleasure, spiritual satiety, improvement of inner temperament and cultivation of intelligence brought by reading are immeasurable.
Mao Mu's The Shelter is a sharp weapon to save our protagonist Juliet from the tedious daily life. She is just a small staff member of a real estate agency, playing with many folders in the office and various apartments that show customers around every day. Reading is like a diver suddenly floating on the water, breathing the free air outside and building his own spiritual paradise in the space above the water.
