Lisco's American Life
216. The charm of literature (thanks to Chenzhou Linyuan's
Because Zhang Li was sitting relatively far back, she couldn't see clearly at first. With the introduction on the high-definition screen, she also recognized the people on the stage, her mouth opened wide and her eyes were dull.
The huge surprise shocked the soul, but as Lisko bowed, everyone sat down in tacit understanding, and then waited for him to speak. Zhang Li, who was still standing now, was very conspicuous. Sunny on the side quickly pulled her, and she
Only then did he react as if he had just woken up from a dream, and sat down.
"Li, he's actually your boyfriend," Tina exclaimed in a low voice.
"I saw it!" Zhang Li glanced at her angrily.
Of course, Li Ke saw the silly Zhang Li, with a successful smile on his handsome face, causing the girls in the front row to scream.
"Hmph, it attracts bees and butterflies."
Zhang Li now also knows Lisko's intentions, and I have to say that he is indeed surprised and almost turned into a fright.
"Hello everyone,"
Screams rang out, and Lisko waited for a while. Looking at the students who were shouting more and more vigorously, he had no choice but to hold out his hand and press down.
The scene returned to calm again, and Lisko began to continue.
"My name is Lisko. I am from Garrison Town, Greater Schenck District. My father is a farmer here. Thanks to the help of my mentors and everyone, I have embarked on the path of literature."
All the students in the audience listened attentively.
He paused and began his speech and theme today. The title also appeared on the electronic screen behind him, "The Charm of Literature."
"I learned to read when I was five years old. I was living on a ranch and learned to read and write in Brother Justiniano's class at Garrison Elementary School. That was the most important moment in my life.
To this day, more than twenty years later, I still clearly remember how much I felt when I first experienced the magic of reading.
Magical. The words in the book turn into strange images, which enrich my life.
Reading turns dreams into life and life into dreams, bringing the literary universe within reach of that little boy. My tutor said that the first thing I wrote was to continue the ending of the story I read, because I
I’m always sad because of the ending of the story.”
Zhang Li also devoted all her attention to listening to Lisko talking about herself. She had never seen or recognized Lisko like this.
"Writing stories is not easy. When I put the thoughts in my mind into words, the ideas wither on the paper, and the clues and pictures cannot move forward.
How can I bring them back to life?"
When Lisko said this, he paused, and the students in the audience also wanted to know the answer.
"Fortunately, I can learn from reading books and follow their examples. Some books taught me that genius comes from tenacious self-discipline and long-term patience. Some books taught me that formal writing and structure can make your subject shine.
, can also make it dry and barren. Some books
Taught me that the scale and ambition of a novel are as important as technique and layout. Sartre even used his famous saying "Words are actions" to tell me that when novels, plays or articles are dedicated to exploring current issues and proposing better choices
, they can change the course of history.”
"I read a lot of books and understood a truth. Literature deprived of moral dimensions is inhuman literature. Heroes and epics not only exist in ancient Greek mythology, but can also exist in our present day."
Next, Lisko spoke eloquently about the charm of literature in a fluent speech, and the people in the audience were mesmerized.
The whole speech was concise but not frivolous, refreshing but elegant, and firmly caught everyone's ears.
By the time he picked up the water that had been added three times on the podium and drank it, an hour and a half had passed.
Looking at the timer next to him, Lisko finished his speech.
"I want to tell everyone here today that when you leave campus in the future, some of your classmates may become entrepreneurs, and some may become lawyers and financiers. You have various identities, but I pray that you will not
Lost my love for literature.
Many people now think that literature is useless. In a purely practical sense, it can neither fill the stomach nor make a lot of money and change lives. It is useless in the material world.
But I think that without literature, life would be boring and dull.
For me, literature is spiritual nourishment, belief support, ideal weight, and the best driving force that enables me to face a rich and colorful life.
As an individual, most people can only live a life of less than a hundred years. However, it is literature that allows us to trace back to the past and present, and enter the life journey of many people through role-substitution reading. This is also one of the important pleasures of reading literary works.
Literature also enables us to understand life and life itself more deeply, because literature itself is considerate of people.
By reading various literary works such as poems, songs, novels and prose, we will increase our understanding of the value and meaning of life, and can resist the philosophical concept of the emptiness of life. In short, through reading excellent literary works, we can
We have experienced the abundance of life, as well as the happiness and splendor of being born. Therefore, when our stomachs are not hungry, we must not let ourselves be mentally hungry."
After finishing the concluding remarks, the audience burst into thunderous applause again. Principal Joyce was already quite old, and his face was flushed with excitement.
"Writer Liske is really great. I have always dreamed of finding a boyfriend like this."
Tina stood up with the crowd and said jokingly.
"As you may think, he already has a master."
Zhang Li glanced at her hastily and retorted, but then he realized that Tina was joking, and his cheeks turned red with embarrassment amid the smiles of his two best friends.
"Writer Lisko, our principal would like to invite you to have dinner with us."
Li Ke came off the stage, took the mineral water handed over by Yu Qing, and took a sip to moisten his throat that was about to smoke. The staff reminded him promptly.
"I'm sorry. My girlfriend goes to school here and we made an appointment to meet up at noon. I'm really sorry."
Liske's tone was full of regret and apologies. After the initial shock, the staff also expressed understanding later on.
Lisko looked at the text message sent in his hand, followed Yu Qing and Charles out of the teaching building, and the car was already parked aside.
"Let's go according to the morning plan."
Lisko sat in the back seat and loosened his tie. Every time he wore this kind of clothes, he felt like he was being tightly bound.
After taking a deep breath, he dialed the phone number.
"Dear, are you here?"
"Hahahahaha, dear."
Several people's voice came from the microphone, Lisco frowned, and quickly relieved.
"Don't make trouble,"
Zhang Li grabbed the mobile phone raised by Tina and closed the external release function.
