w88 casino News Network (Reporter Zhang Yimeng Source: Library)Spring has come and it’s great to read. The sound of reading has penetrated people’s hearts, and it’s already deep in spring before I realize it. On the eve of World Book Day, w88 casino2021The results of the annual "Reading Star" selection are out. w88 casino library2021In the statistical data of 2016, one student borrowed books during the year191本Books, the number of borrowed books ranks first in the w88 casino. He is Jiang Rensi, let’s learn about his story.
[Business Card] Jiang Rensi, studied at the Law w88 casino of the w88 casino with both bachelor's and master's degrees. His undergraduate degree was in the experimental class for outstanding foreign-related economic and w88 legal talents, nowfor20LevelMaster’s degree student in international law will graduate in June this year. A native of Guilin, Guangxi. During the undergraduate period, he served as monitor, and during the graduate period, he won the second-class scholarship for postgraduate studies. Jiang Rensi commented that he was "just a problem solver in a small town." He passed the law examination in about two months, and then passed the preliminary examination for the International Master of Laws in w88 casino in more than two months. He also reviewed the Securities Practitioner Qualification Examination, the Fund Practitioner Qualification Examination, and the Computer Level 2 exam10a smallIt will pass around the hour. "Actually, the fourth and eighth years of junior college also relied on the 'know-how'. Looking back on the six years I was at the University of International w88 and Economics, I was just an ordinary student, nothing special, and no particularly brilliant or unique achievements. I spent my college life in an ordinary way," said Jiang Rensi.
On the occasion of World Book Day, talk to mew88 casino2021YearChampion of borrowing numbers, one year reading191thisWhat is the experience of reading?
Q1：2021Borrowed in year191This book. Have you finished reading every book? Can you talk to us about this?
Answer: In fact, not all borrowed books can be read in full. Most of the reading records were concentrated in last summer vacation7Month sum8month, one month40thisThe book is about, see if you are busy in other months, if you are not too busy, you can have a monthly one10-15Ben left and right. At that time, I stayed in w88 casino for internship and took the public examination. After the internship, I stayed in the library and read all kinds of books from morning to night.
Some of the books I borrowed were taken from my own collection of books that I was interested in. Later, I discovered that there was a small cart next to the self-service book borrowing and returning machine, which was used to put the books returned by the students. When I have nothing to do, or when I borrow or return books, I go to the car to look through them and sort them out. If I find something I am interested in, I take it out and read it by myself. I often get some unexpected results, which is a bit like fate. This sense of surprise like opening a gift is probably one of the sources of motivation for me to keep borrowing books.
In fact, reading volume also has "moisture content". Not every book is a thick tome.1010,000-30Ten thousand words may be the thickness I usually read. Of course, I am also happy to read large series of works, such as Keigo Higashino series, Ken Follett series, Agatha series, Yu Hua series, Liu Cixin series, celebrity biography series, etc.
Q2：2021The annual data report of w88 casino library shows that among undergraduate students, the law w88 casino borrows the most books on average, reaching7.9times; Among master’s students, the law w88 casino borrows the most books on average,Da13.1times. As the personal borrowing champion, you are also a law student. What do you think?
A: I personally feel that the characteristics of the law profession itself have some influence. A true study of law is inseparable from the views and works of senior legal scholars. The broad and subdivided legal direction also determines that there are more and deeper areas that need to be contacted and understood. Take the fourteen main courses of law and the subjects of the legal examination as an example. There should be at least one copy of each. Moreover, paper books are generally expensive, so you can borrow and read them. Coupled with the understanding and research of legal philosophy and the theoretical thoughts of various legal scholars, the extended reading list is extensive and boundless.
As a law student, I am neither typical nor outstanding. I believe that students from all majors in the w88 casino will have a large amount of professional reading to support them. For example, some of the outstanding students I know in law w88 casino sometimes read hundreds of pages of English materials every week for a course. After class, they need to read extensively journal articles and professional books for thesis writing and special seminars. In addition to professional reading, some students may make full use of channels other than the library for reading, such askindle, mobile terminal, self-purchased books, etc. And these may be precisely what the library cannot count. Therefore, I believe that "there are others outside the world", and the reading volume of the law w88 casino and all other outstanding students must be far more than mine, but they are not counted and are not revealed.
Q3: Have you loved reading since you were a child? Or was it that you were touched by something at a certain moment when you were growing up and started reading actively?
Answer: I have loved reading since I was a child. Before coming to University of International w88 and Economics, I had been living in a small town in Guilin. There were only Xinhua Bookstore and two other "book towns" in the town. There happened to be one next door to my house. When I was a kid, I was bored and it was hot in summer. At noon, I would go into the bookstore next door to find a book to read. I still remember the books I liked to read at that time, which were usually adventure stories, such as "Robinson Crusoe", "Treasure Island", "The Adventures of Huck Bailey Finn", "Niels Riding a Goose", "The Flying Classroom", etc., and I spent an entire afternoon reading them. At that time, my biggest dream was to find an uninhabited island with rich resources to "set up camp" and become an "island owner". But to say that reading so many books has cultivated my adventurous character, that’s not true. Instead, I have a relatively quiet temperament, which may have come from the lack of stools in the bookstore and my sore neck and waist.
Q4: How do you decide on a particular book to read?
Answer: I will consciously collect some recommended book lists, which may be public account articles, or Zhihu and Douban lists. The books in the book list will be checked to see if they have electronic versions or are on the shelves of the library. I also followed the courses taught by w88 casino teachers. For example, I followed teacher Hu Shaoqing’s literature class to read modern Chinese literary works, such as "The King of Chess" and "Red Sorghum"; and followed teacher Zheng Haiping's introductory class on constitutional classics to read books related to constitutional law and legal philosophy, such as "Social Contract", "The Spirit of Law", "On Liberty", "A Theory of Justice", "A Theory of Government", etc. I mostly read based on my interests, and then classics. Classic works all have reasons and characteristics to become classics, and time is the best tester and standard.
Q5: Can you read books based on current events?
A: Of course, last year’s centenary party history study and education attracted me to read some books on party history, such as Edgar Snow’s “A Journey to the West” (“Red Star Shines on China”). Through this book, I began to have a new perspective and new understanding of the study of party history, and the party history itself and those great figures began to come alive.
Q6: Can you write reading notes? If you don’t, will you worry that the books you have read will be forgotten?
Answer: I can make excerpts. The habit of copying originated from when I was in junior high w88 casino. The Chinese teacher would ask me to hand it in every week3Excerpts of good words and sentences on the left and right pages are used as materials and expressions for compositions. At first I didn't quite understand it, and I always dealt with it, but when I actually read it myself, I would feel it would be a pity not to excerpt it when I read those passages that touched my heartstrings. I continued this habit after I went to college, but gradually changed from copying by hand to typing on the keyboard. At the beginning, I just used it simplyWordDocuments, now basically use curtains. Will consciously record according to the three parts of "Book Information" - "Table of Contents" - "Excerpts of Notes", and sometimes also attach thoughts and feelings. The objects of excerpts are often sentences and paragraphs that particularly move me and resonate with me.
I don’t think I will forget the books I read, or I don’t care whether I remember them clearly. On the contrary, I feel that what my mother told me when I was a child is quite right. The general idea is: "Every book you read will be integrated into you in some form. Don't worry about forgetting. Reading and the books you read will shape you." Some words and sentences will suddenly become clear in certain situations, so don't worry.
Jiang Rensi’s reading notes
Q7: Where do you like to read and when do you like to read?
Answer: I don’t care where I read. The subway, downtown, bookstore, dormitory, library, or classroom are all fine. As for which environment is best for reading, I would consider three points: sufficient light, comfortable tables and chairs, and low mechanical and electronic noise. I think the human voice is fine, but the fan and current are a bit unbearable, which may be due to my own hearing characteristics.
If you have time to read, you should mainly read in your spare time and take the time to read. Being able to borrow so many books like last year was actually a favorable condition created for me during the summer vacation. At that time, I had internships and public examinations. In order to expand my knowledge, accumulate materials, and other reasons, I could often spend "blocks of time" reading various books in the library. Normally, I can only find time to read, and there is no designated reading time period.
Q8: Do you encounter "difficult" books? Is there a relationship between being difficult to read and being worth reading?
Answer: You will indeed encounter some that are “difficult to read”. I understand that there are two types of "difficult reading". One is that the language itself is obscure, such as older books or translations with limited skills. My reading habits and logic may be quite different from them, making it difficult to read. The other is that it is highly theoretical and may be a new field for me. I do not possess or understand a large number of professional terms and background knowledge, and the internal logic is not smooth. I may lose my ideas while reading and cannot continue.
The judgment of whether a book is worth reading is related to the purpose of reading. Many times, I think a book is easy to read and worth reading just because I have a better reading experience within my own cognitive level. If the purpose of reading is just for a good reading experience, then of course "difficult to read" books are "not worth reading". But sometimes the purpose of reading can also be very utilitarian. For example, academic research, work tasks, career development, improving cognition, and exploring new knowledge require me to read certain books. At this time, whether "difficult to read" or not may not be the first consideration, or even a factor of consideration - whether it is "difficult to read" or not, I have to read it, just because it is "worth it."
Q9: Is there a big difference between paper books and e-books for you? What do you think of the argument that “paper books will eventually be replaced by screens”?
A: The choice between paper books and e-books depends on the reading context for me. For example, in the subwaykindleIt is easier for me to hold and turn pages with one hand. Paper books in the library give me a better and more comfortable experience.
"Complete replacement" is not what I want. Diversified presentation forms should be more suitable for the dissemination and inheritance of knowledge. So I prefer that diverse forms exist at the same time. Paper books allow knowledge to exist in a form that is not only visible, but also measurable and tangible. Each book has different designs and characteristics, such as appearance, paper quality, thickness, etc., which seem to give quality and texture to the content. Therefore, when it is convenient, I will prefer paper books to get the desired reading experience.
Q10: What are the similarities and differences for you between obtaining information from books and obtaining information from the Internet? Do you also read online novels?
A: The information in books may be better in systematization, especially some professional books. But the Internet may update faster when it comes to cutting-edge research. There are also differences between the two in terms of the credibility and richness of information. My reading experience is relatively new, and I am still at the stage of reading classics, and I rarely touch on cutting-edge works.
Of course I can read online articles, there are quite a few. I have read several popular online works, such as "Douluo Dalu", "Fight to Break the Sky", "Fighting Swordsman in the Snow", etc. After all, there are some fantasy, science fiction, and martial arts dreams.
Q11: The time of contemporary college students is fragmented by mobile phones and other entertainment products, which has also brought about a generally "impetuous" mentality. Everyone finds it difficult to calm down and read books. What do you think?
A: Encouraging everyone to read more is actually to let everyone calm down and think more. Although long-term thinking and imagination require delayed gratification, the sense of satisfaction and fulfillment is far stronger than the sense of emptiness and nothingness brought by fragmented entertainment. But I don’t really agree with “ennobling” the matter of reading, to the point where “everything is inferior but reading is high.” I would rather regard reading as an ordinary part of daily life, not to emphasize it deliberately but to be influenced by it all the time and truly integrated into my life. Reading is also a very personal thing, and the joy in it may only be experienced by you. I recommend everyone to explore it on their own.
Q12: Have you ever volunteered in the w88 casino library?
Answer: I did spend several hours organizing the bookshelf. I organized a bookshelf like this. In fact, I chose to do this volunteer for a small "selfish" reason - I hope to gain a deeper understanding of the rules of book placement and find the books I want to read more quickly. Of course, this is an important job that requires patience and physical strength. The sense of accomplishment brought by order coexists with the sense of powerlessness brought by chaos, which is a bit like Sisyphus pushing a boulder. Help as much as you can and avoid causing more trouble.
Q13: Already have a career plan?
Answer: I tried to pass the civil service exam last year, but unfortunately I failed. Now I am more inclined to try to stay in Beijing as a litigation lawyer. After all, I have studied law for six years. Lawyers also often deal with documents, so they will inevitably read and write more in the future. I also hope to publish one or two booklets in the future to share my feelings and experiences, which can be regarded as a longing from readers to authors.
Q14: You are truly a senior reader of w88 casino library. We look forward to hearing your opinions and suggestions for w88 casino libraries and helping them become better.
Answer: I have stayed in the library for a long time. Although I don’t read much, I still hope that our library can be bigger. I feel that the library should be the largest building in the w88 casino with the best supporting facilities. It has a larger and richer collection of books, and can expand more classic works in other fields on the basis of the complete collection of books in the characteristic professional fields of w88 casino. There is more space for self-study and reading, and better facilities. It can be equipped with sufficient sockets and bathrooms, which can create a better self-study environment.
Q15：2022Will you read more books? Will there be baggage of being a champion idol?^_^
A: Reading will definitely continue, but I can’t predict the quantity. Graduation is coming soon, so I still focus on working hard to intern and find a job. I don’t dare to be the champion, it’s just a coincidence. I like reading. Being with books and being a librarian is also a life I yearn for. If possible, is there a library card that students of this w88 casino can apply for who can borrow books after graduation? It would be best if they could continue to borrow books from w88 casino library as alumni.
"World Book Day"4month23The day is coming. Times have changed, and the carrier of reading has changed from traditional paper to the coexistence of digital and paper, and the meaning of reading has become more diverse. The only thing that remains unchanged is that you gain stability from reading, seek nourishment from reading, and discover yourself from reading. Opening a book is beneficial, let’s have an encounter between books and yourself!
