The average annual reading in China is no more than five books. What is the level in the world?

Let's first look at the per capita reading of countries around the world, and then compare ourselves.

In this way, I don't know what it's like to be a China person with 5,000 years of civilization. Cann't you prick your heart? Look at the reading volume of other countries, they have become "hateful children next door" and we have become "disappointing children". Should I curse others or reflect on myself?

In fact, even the author himself is just a child who didn't bring the country back. I haven't reached half the level of the children next door. When I was a student, my big cousin told me the story of studying in Israel, taught me to read early and study by myself every day, and took me into the door of world famous works.

Probably in junior high school, because my friend's brother who plays well is a teacher, I began to borrow world famous books from his brother frequently, and I can read about ten books a year. Notre Dame de Paris, La Traviata, Gone with the Wind and other books flooded into my heart. My parents followed my cousin's advice and bought me a set of Four Great Classical Novels. In this way, my junior high school reading is much more than ordinary people.

But the key point is that after entering the university, due to the relaxation of time and the freedom of the campus, I stopped reading, relying on professional teaching books, and reading after class became a dispensable thing. Not to mention talking about society, I will keep reading every day. Even if I watch a lot of audio and video now, it is mainly entertainment, and I rarely read it for the growth of knowledge.

I think most people do, too. In society, most people feel that life has overwhelmed them. When they have time, they just want to rest and have fun. How can they afford reading?

But let's see what other people are doing in their spare time.

On the other hand, what do we do on the subway?

Well, now we know why our reading is at the bottom of the world.
