He Yaomin is currently the assistant to the president of Renmin University of China, deputy director of the academic committee of the w88 casino, editor-in-chief of Renmin University of China Press, professor of economics, and doctoral supervisor.

In this reading exchange meeting, Professor He Yaomin told "The Stories Behind Good Books" to the students of the Field Business University and shared his experiences related to reading. He said that spreading knowledge and civilization are the characteristics of good books, and the history of the development of reading is the history of the development of civilization. The development of culture is the soil for the growth of good books, and the rapid development of contemporary civilization provides a good environment for the development of the book industry. Nowadays, China has become the largest publishing country in the world. Good publishing houses provide the public with a large number of excellent books. Books in various forms such as e-books and paper books are developing hand in hand. There are too many books for us to read. To this end, he called on young people to be prepared to "read more."

Why do we need to read good books? What can reading bring to a person, a country, and a society? Professor He Yaomin talked about his views from three aspects. "Reading can keep us away from the trouble of ‘materialistic disease’.” In today’s world, materialism is rampant, and impetuousness is a common problem in society. “In an impetuous era, an impetuous society, and impetuous people. "Facing the rapidly changing world, young people often fall into unprecedented confusion and must have huge anxiety in their hearts. Reading can help us regain a peaceful mind.

“It’s a joy to learn from great authors and great books.” In reading, we communicate with different people across time and space, increase our knowledge, and enrich our lives. "Teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish." Methodology is the most fundamental thing in learning and is the key to determining whether you can benefit from lifelong learning.Professor He Yaomin recommended method books. For example, the famous Chinese philosopher Li Ruihuan's works such as "Pragmatic Pursuit of Reason", "Remarks on Dialectics", "Views and Statements", "Learn Philosophy, Use Philosophy" and other works. "The various frameworks built in the thinking world all depend on philosophy. Studying philosophy will benefit you throughout your life." In addition, he also recommended "State Affairs Narrative" written by Chen Jinhua, and works by comrades such as Cheng Siwei, Gao Zhanxiang, Zhao Qizheng, Wu Jianmin, and Chen Jian.

In addition to reading methodological books, it is equally important to read theoretical books to shape a healthy worldview and values. Contemporary China has set off an academic trend of "learning from Chinese and foreign Marxist research results and deepening the understanding of China and the world." Western countries are also paying more and more attention to in-depth research on Marxism. For this reason, Professor He recommended Marxist research libraries, such as "The Biography of Marx" by the famous scholar McClellan.

Reading allows us to learn from the rich history and the struggles of our predecessors, and enhance our sense of responsibility and pride. Professor He's recommended books include: Liang Heng's essays, "The Oral History of New China", "The Oral History of Reform and Opening Up", "The Communist Party of China and the Journey of China's Socialist Road", "Choice: China and Global Governance", which is a rare systematic discussion of global governance issues in China in recent years, and the masterpiece "Chinese Virtues and Core Values" edited by Dai Mucai.

Read more professional books, especially books by academic masters, so that you can become the professionals needed by the times." Professional quality comes from studying hard and reading books by authoritative authors, and books build a bridge of communication between readers and academic masters. Professor He recommended the book "Chinese Economics" by the famous economist Professor Li Yining "The Road to Economic Dual Transformation", Chinese Economic Issues Research Series, and Nobel Prize Winners in Economics Series. He suggested that college students should get more access to books by academic masters and understand the academic monuments of human civilization, such as "The Complete Works of Kang Youwei", "The Complete Works of Xie Wuliang", "The Complete Works of Wu Han", "Collected Works of Xiao Gongquan", and "Jao Tsung-i".20Century Academic Collection", "Collected Works of Tang Yijie", "Complete Works of Aristotle", "Complete Works of Kant", "Collected Works of Lévi-Strauss", "Collected Works of Amalia Sen" and "Collected Works of Jameson".

Read widely to enrich your life." In addition to reading professional books, it is also essential to extensively dabble in literature and history books. Professor He said that life requires management. The most important way to enrich our lives is reading. Reading the rich cultural heritage and spiritual wealth left by the ancients, and reading the knowledge and scientific achievements created by countries around the world today are ways to shape our elegant pursuits, noble character and broad mind, and to shape a quality lifestyle. Help us understand our own nature, enrich our hearts, plan our future, and then understand and understand society, and participate in social improvement and transformation of society.

At the end of the exchange meeting, Professor He answered questions from the students present, bringing the book exchange meeting to a successful conclusion. This event is hosted by the Academic Department of the University Student Theoretical Academic Center of the w88 casino.
