Lisko’s American Life

216. The Charm of Literature (Thanks to Chenzhou Linyuan for the reward)

Because Zhang Li was sitting relatively far back, she didn't see clearly at first, but following the introduction on the high-definition screen, she also recognized the people on the stage, her mouth opened wide, her eyes glazed over.

Huge surprise hit the heart, but as Lisko bowed, everyone sat down in a tacit understanding, and then waited for him to speak. Zhang Li who was still standing was very conspicuous, and Sunny on the side quickly pulled her. It was only after waking up from a dream that he reacted and sat down.

"Li, it'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 triumphant smile on his handsome face, causing the girls in the front row to scream nympho.

"Hmph, attracting bees and butterflies."

Zhang Li also knew Lisko's intentions now, and he had to say that he was really pleasantly surprised, almost turned into a shock.

"Hello everyone,"

When the screams sounded, Lisko waited for a while, seeing the students who were shouting more and more vigorously, he had to stretch out his gesture and press down.

The scene returned to calm again before Lisko started to continue.

"My name is Lisko, and I am from Garrison Township, Great Schenk District. My father is a farmer here. Thanks to the help of my mentor and everyone, I embarked on the path of literature."

All the students in the audience listened attentively.

He paused, and started his speech and topic today, and the title appeared on the electronic screen behind him, "The Charm of Literature."

"I learned to read when I was five years old, living on the ranch, in the classes of Brother Justiano at Garrison Elementary School. That was the most important moment of my life.

To this day, more than twenty years later, I still vividly remember how I felt when I first experienced the magic of reading.

magic. The words in the book turned into strange images that enriched my life.

Reading turns dreams into life and life into dreams, bringing the universe of literature within reach of that little boy back then. My mentor said that the first things I write are the endings of the stories I read, because I always feel sad because of the ending. "

Zhang Li also devoted all her attention to listening to Lisko's talk about herself. This kind of Lisko was something she had never seen or recognized.

"Writing a story is not an easy task. When I put a pen to put the thoughts in my mind into words, the ideas wither on the paper, and the clues and pictures are unable to move forward.

How can I bring them back to life?"

When Liske said this, he paused for a moment, and the students in the audience also wanted to know the answer.

"Fortunately, I was able to learn from the books I read and follow their example. Some books taught me that genius comes from tenacious self-discipline and long-term patience. Other books taught me that formal writing and structure can make your subject shine. , can also make it dry and barren. Some books have taught me that the scale and ambition of a novel are as important as the technique and layout. Sartre even taught me in his famous saying "word is action" that when a novel, play or article is dedicated to They can change the course of history when they address current issues and suggest better alternatives."

"I have read a lot of books, and I understand a truth. Literature deprived of moral dimensions is non-human literature. Heroes and epics not only exist in ancient Greek mythology, but can also exist in our present day."

Next, Lisko talked about the charm of literature in a fluent speech, and the people in the audience were fascinated by it.

The whole speech was concise but not frivolous, refreshing but elegant, and it 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 ended his speech.

"I want to tell everyone here today that when you go out from the campus, some of your classmates may become entrepreneurs, some of you may become lawyers and financiers. You have various identities, but I beg you, don't Lost 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 to change life. It is useless in the material world.

But I think life would be dull and dull without literature.

For me, literature is the nourishment of the spirit, the support of belief, the weight of ideals, and the best driving force for me to face a rich and colorful life.

As a living individual, most of them can only live a life of less than a hundred years. However, it is literature that allows us to go back to the past and use the role-based reading method to enter the life journey of many people. 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 poetry, poetry, novels and prose and other literary works, we will increase our understanding of the value and meaning of life, and thus resist the philosophical concept of nothingness in life. All in all, through reading excellent literary works, we experience the abundance of life, as well as the happiness and splendor of being human. Therefore, when we are not hungry, we must not let our spirit be hungry. "

After the concluding remarks, there was thunderous applause from the audience again. Principal Joyce was already quite old, and his face was flushed with excitement.

"Writer Lisko is really great. I dream of finding a boyfriend like this."

Tina stood up with the crowd and said jokingly.

"The beauty you think of, he already has a master."

Zhang Li hastily glanced at her coquettishly, and retorted, but then found that Tina was joking, and blushed in the smiles of the two girlfriends.

"Writer Lisko, our principal would like to invite you to have a meal together."

Li Ke got off the stage, took the mineral water Yu Qing handed over, took a sip to moisten his throat that was about to smoke, and the staff reminded him in time.

"Say sorry for me. My girlfriend goes to school here. We made an appointment at noon. I'm really sorry."

Lisko's tone was full of regret and apology, and the staff expressed their understanding after being stunned at the beginning.

Li Ke looked at the text message sent in his hand, followed Yu Qing Charles out of the teaching building, and the car had already parked aside.

"Let's go according to the morning plan."

Lisko sat on the back seat and loosened his tie. Every time he wore this kind of clothes, he felt like he was being tightly bound.

Taking a breath, he dialed the phone number.

"Honey, are you here yet?"

"Hahahahaha, honey."

The voices of several people came from the microphone, and Lisko frowned, but soon eased away.

"Don't make trouble,"

Zhang Li snatched the phone that Tina held up, and turned off the playback function.
