I just came home when i was in Colleage and happened to meet my mother watching Andersen's Fairy Tale. She likes reading when she is idle, especially reading famous works, but reading Andersen's Fairy Tales really makes me feel strange. I asked her why she was still reading this kind of book. Fairy tales, she replies, are not just for children, but for people of different age to read such different stories. Especially classics, turn over a few more times each time feel different.

I thought at that time that what she said was too mysterious, not just a book, read it.

I saw a funny joke online that night:

Once upon a time there was an ugly duckling, and although people didn't like it, it never gave up its dream. In the end, through unremitting efforts, it became a noble and beautiful white swan. Excited ugly duckling first came home, and mom and dad shared its happiness. The next day, his parents divorced.

After laughing for a moment, I felt very strange, I found out the Ugly Duckling again to read again. The ugly duckling turned into a swan was not his own effort, just because he was born. What if he was born an ugly duck?

I ran over and asked my mother what the fairy tale writer was trying to say. My mother told me, why should I take care of what the author wants to say? A novel is just a story. A story different people hear feel naturally different ah. Reading a novel is not what the author wants to express, reading a novel is actually his own ah. Read a story, think about it, think about why you think so. Read it again and look back and think about what you thought before. It feels very different.

During that time I carefully reread Andersen's Fairy Tales. Think carefully about the pea under the princess bed in "Princess Peas", and think about the little girl's fantasy and reality in "The Little Girl Selling Matches"... One story after another slowly read the past, once feel happy novel now feel a little gloomy. The beauty I saw before seems to be slowly being less now.

I went to see anna Karenina's musical with someone some time ago. Go back and take the original out and read it again. Junior high school felt that Anna's tragedy ended because of her childish love, now read more feel just a woman's helplessness.

I used to think I read a lot of books, but now I just feel like I read them too fast. Now I want to find out these books again to read, but I always feel like I don't have that much time.
