In the bitter cold wind of the plateau, the children who were about to go on vacation slapsticked through the small playground and got into a reading room.

There are a lot of books donated by public welfare, and they read them with gusto.

　　On December 23, Pinduoduo's "Reading for You" public welfare action entered Bijie City, Guizhou Province for the first time, bringing 5,000 high-quality books to the children of Bijie Minority Middle School, and invited writers and young people from the "Voice Creators Program" Historian Zhang Mingyang teaches online.

　　The classroom bell is long gone.

Yan Guilan from Class 7 (Grade 3) is still in the reading and sharing class of "Digesting".

In particular, the phrase "Read a lot, there will always be an answer" made her remember deeply.

Pinduoduo's "Reading for You" public welfare action entered Bijie Minzu Middle School in Guizhou Province and delivered 5,000 selected books to more than 3,000 students here.

light to read

　　Students studying in Bijie Minority Middle School include Yi, Miao, Bai, Hui, Buyi, Gelao and other ethnic minorities, accounting for nearly half of the total.

The customs are different and the dialects are different.

　　Yang Zhangyi, the head teacher of Class 7, Senior Three, recalled that when he first came into contact with the children, they habitually avoided their eyes and were reluctant to communicate with others.

Since "Poems for Children" opened the "hidden door" between teachers and students, he gradually found a way to get close to children - reading.

　　In the past two years, reading has transformed the children far beyond Yang Zhangyi's expectations.

　　Xu Zhonghang, a classmate in the class, left a "treasure" in his notes.

He wrote: "When I am at a loss at the intersection of life, reading always allows me to see the dawn of persistence, see the scenery of different roads, and bring me endless hope." Maybe this seventeen or eighteen-year-old child I still can't understand the deep meaning of "the willows and flowers brighten another village" in "You Shanxi Village", but Yang Zhangyi knows that reading gives confidence and strength to thinking children.

　　"From now on, there will be no whiteheads in the world, but only a garden full of flowers and a house full of stars." In his reading notes, Huang Jiafu of Class 3 (9) in senior high school is full of love and gratitude to his parents and relatives.

　　"The afterglow of dusk falls through the window and falls on the tip of the pen, and the paper is full of golden light." In Yan Guilan's view, reading is a dialogue and interaction between her and the author. She not only enjoys reading in life, but also learns from reading. Life.

　　The accumulation of long-term reading has given children emotion, new ideas, and fun in their expressions.

But in some remote areas, small towns and villages, there are still children who cannot get a good book for reading.

In 2020, when Pinduoduo staff were working in three districts and three prefectures to help fight poverty, they found that the young reading groups in remote areas had an urgent need for affordable and high-quality genuine books.

　　Since the children of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Sichuan Province received the first donated book in April 2021, the footprints of the Pinduoduo "Reading for You" public welfare project group have spread all over Tibet, Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai, Guizhou, Shaanxi, and Anhui , Yunnan, Hubei, Jiangxi and other mountainous primary and secondary schools, special schools.

As of December 2022, more than 300,000 books have been donated.

　　The batch of books brought by the "Reading for You" public welfare project group lit up the eyes of the children.

Yang Zhangyi's face was full of joy and gratitude: "These good books can sow the seeds of wisdom for their life paths, allowing them to see the world with brighter eyes."

All the books donated to Bijie Minzu Middle School have been classified and put on shelves, and are open to all teachers and students in the school.

classic charm

　　"For 36 years, they have been looking forward to returning to the pinnacle of Aztec glory. This is also the mission of Messi. The Argentine poet Borquez once said: Any fate, no matter how complicated and long, is actually only reflected in a moment. That’s the moment when people fully realize who they really are.”

　　As soon as the show started, Zhang Mingyang firmly grabbed the attention of all the students in Class 7 (Grade 3) with the thrilling World Cup final and He Wei's poetic commentary.

　　The conversation changed.

"Many people think that as long as they don't engage in cultural-related industries in the future, they don't need to read so many books. But we can see from He Wei's gorgeous commentary that he has read many books, such as Romain Rolland, Maupassant, Fu Lou Bait’s wonderful quotations from these literary masters have all been accompanied by his voice, and he has become well-known through major football matches..." Zhang Mingyang said that people need to read classics to extend the real world they live in and release the possibilities in their lives Sexuality remains open to the world.

　　Not limited to traditional donations, every time the "Reading for You" public welfare donation landing activity is launched, the project team will invite writers and scholars to remote areas, and by increasing scene-based knowledge dissemination, such as reading a poem or an article, After taking a class, I hope to help the development of public reading in primary and secondary schools in remote areas in a richer and more three-dimensional form.

　　In this special reading sharing class, Zhang Mingyang talked about "why to read classics" and "how to read classics", aiming to get rid of children's fear of classics. exist in our lives."

　　"How should I read "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

　　During the question and answer session, Zhang Mingyang told the children about the vast world and brilliant stars in the classics.

Not only knowledge sharing, but also experience and spiritual sharing.

Zhang Mingyang, a writer and young historian of the "Voices of Creators Project", gave online lectures, and the students actively expressed their doubts when reading.

voice outside the mountain

　　Bijie Minority Middle School is located in the hinterland of Wumeng Mountain - the front mountain connects the back mountain, the distant mountain connects the near mountain, and the mountains are the only ones that cannot be seen.

For the vast majority of children here, studying hard is the way out of the mountains.

　　"Never underestimate the thirst for knowledge and curiosity of these children. Even if they come from remote mountainous areas, when they have the opportunity to get in touch with the outside world and get in touch with some new knowledge, the sudden burst of curiosity will make The people who participated in it were very touched." Although this is the second time to join hands in the "Reading for You" public welfare action, Zhang Mingyang is still deeply touched.

　　Classes are limited, but reading is unlimited.

Among the donated titles of "Reading for You" this time, there are inspirational books like "Red Star Shines on China", which convey the extraordinary power of red belief through the moving deeds of revolutionary ancestors; some, such as "A Brief History of Time", want to guide Children break through the limitations of reality, open the wings of imagination, and embrace a higher vision and pattern; another example is "Cultural Journey", which brings children into the long river of history and culture, seeing what ordinary people have never seen, thinking what ordinary people have never thought, Excavate the aesthetic value contained in the contemporary world civilization...

　　These books sent across mountains and mountains to Bijie Minority Middle School are recommended by experts in the education and cultural industry, as well as carefully selected by the teaching and project teams. They cover different topics and are convenient for teachers to guide students to read according to different teaching contents and actual needs.

　　"I hope that children in remote areas can see the wider world outside and open up a broader picture of life through reading and learning."

The relevant person in charge of Pinduoduo said that in April 2021, Pinduoduo put forward the long-term concept of knowledge inclusiveness, and the public welfare donation action of "reading for you" will continue.

　　On the high mountain, the sound of children reading books echoed.

They grew up in the mountains, but they will not be "trapped" in the mountains forever.
