When you see your father holding his child high and laughing heartily, do you particularly hope that you are the happy child?
When you see a middle-aged couple interlocking with each other on the street, do you really hope that you can meet a beautiful person in this life and stay together forever?
In real life, we are tired of running around for daily necessities, and when we are annoyed by our children’s feces and farts, we wish that our children could grow ten years old in a day and money could grow from the ground. It is best for us to master the fast-forward button of life and live it as fast as we want. Just like a pregnant woman who has been given paralysis, she lives her life in ignorance.
We are so busy that we have no time or mind to feel love. Our hearts are like a desert, dry and lifeless.
At this time, "The Reader" appeared. It was like a clear spring flowing through our dry and chapped hearts, allowing us to enjoy the joy of love.
As the producer of "The Reader", Dong Qing said: "The word "reading" in "The Reader" emphasizes words, and the word "person" emphasizes people. We want to show the emotions of real characters with flesh and blood, and move them. Because they allow us to meet the whole world. ”

As Dong Qing said, this program mainly uses the mode of “real story telling + reading articles”. The readers come from various fields: actors, models, doctors, businessmen... The articles they read are also all kinds of: prose, poetry, family letters... The stories they tell, although very ordinary, are more interesting because of their positive energy. Vivid; we can encounter the articles they read at any time, but because every sentence is full of blessings and love, it is even more touching.
In the first issue of "The Reader", five readers shared the people and things they "encountered" in the past. Among them, the stories told by Liu Chuanzhi, the founder of Lenovo, Zhou Xiaolin and Yin Jie, the owners of "Flower Valley", and Xu Yuanchong, the winner of the Northern Lights Literature Award, moved me the most.
①The happiness of children is the happiness of parents
If you invite a successful person in the business world, he will definitely write a lot about his achievements, right?
However, Lenovo founder Liu Chuanzhi is different. Whether it is his success or failure, he always speaks calmly. Only when he talked about his son Liu Lin, Liu Chuanzhi's eyes and eyebrows smiled: It's a good thing he didn't become a pilot, otherwise, his son Liu Lin would not have been born!
Because Liu Chuanzhi was influenced by his father, he never became discouraged when dealing with setbacks. He hopes that his son can stick to what he thinks is right when facing challenges in life - "As long as you are an upright person, no matter what industry you are in, you will be my good boy."
Regarding his son's marriage, he strongly supports Liu Lin's choice - "What can parents be happier than having their children live a happy life?"
Parents are happy only when their children are happy. This is a father's tender confession to his son, and it is also a deep blessing for his son's future life.

②True love should start with marriage
There is a 1,200-acre flower valley in Chengdu, Sichuan, where flowers bloom all year round. This is Zhou Xiaolin's gift to his wife Yin Jie.
Zhou Guoping said: "True love begins when a family is formed. Everything in the beginning is just the prelude to love. The rich and exciting content will be in the following chapters." Zhou Xiaolin understands He silently remembered this truth and said "I want a small garden" in his heart, and used ten years of actions to fulfill a love promise.
"You may not believe it, but I often imagine how beautiful and lovely you are."
"Don't worry about old age, you will be very cute when you are old. ”
After 26 years of marriage, Zhou Xiaolin and Yin Jie love each other like first love every day. Some people say: Treat one person well for a while, and many people can do it. But it is not easy to persist in being good to someone for a lifetime.
In the fast-paced modern society, we are always in a hurry. Looking at the poetic life between Zhou Xiaolin and Yin Jie, I suddenly realized: Have we not expressed our love for too long?

③There is beauty in failure, and it should be appreciated every day
Xu Yuanchong, the first Asian winner of the Northern Lights Literature Award, has been 96 years old.
Talking about his maiden work, the 1939 translation of Lin Huiyin's "Don't Throw It Away", Mr. Xu said shyly: He translated this poem because he fell in love with a female classmate. "Don't Throw It Away" was written by Lin Huiyin in memory of Xu Zhimo after his death. She loves Xu Zhimo, but she married Xu Zhimo.
When he read "It's the same bright moon, the same is the lights across the mountain, only no one is seen, hanging like a dream." Mr. Xu Yuanchong was emotional, his voice trembled, tears filled his eyes, and he choked several times.
A 96-year-old man still sheds tears when talking about the woman he likes. This is a true display of temperament. If we were ourselves, would we dare to admit who we have missed in our lives? Perhaps most people can do nothing but remain silent.
"I translated this poem and wrote it to her. When I wrote to her, I didn't know that she already had someone.
Mr. Xu smiled slightly and said, "She replied to me fifty years later." ”
“At that time, I was also married, and she was also married. ”

“But looking back on the past, life is full of appreciation every day. Sometimes there is beauty in failure. ”
“I didn’t succeed, but when I think back, it was still very beautiful. ”
“Love is necessary even to the death, if it is not full and heartfelt, it will not be smooth” - it is a kind of love that goes all out and has no reservations. It’s just that most people in this world long for love, but at the same time they are ready to leave at any time to escape harm. .
Liao Yimei said it well: "We live and we love each other. We can't be afraid of being hurt. All love is sad, but even though it is sad, it is still the most beautiful thing we know. "
Looking back at Liu Chuanzhi, Zhou Xiaolin, Yin Jie, and Xu Yuanchong, why do we always feel tears filling our eyes when listening to their stories?
Because they care about the people around them , always give your most sincere love: you are only happy when your children are happy; you are happy when your wife is happy; you are only happy when your lover is happy.
This kind of love is great because of its selflessness, and touching because of its ordinaryness. .
Love can only be obtained by giving.
