Gorky said that books are the ladder of human progress. Shakespeare said that books are the nourishment of all mankind. Life without books is like life without sunshine. Wisdom without books is like a bird without wings. This shows how important books are to us. A person's growth is inseparable from books; A person's self-improvement is inseparable from books; The revival of the nation and the prosperity of the country are also inseparable from books. The Chinese nation has a long history and splendid culture. We saw the grandeur of the Great Wall, the vastness of the Forbidden City and the vastness of the Terracotta Warriors. At the same time, we can't forget the smoke in Humen, the fire in Yuanmingyuan and the land trampled by Japanese imperialism. 12-year-old Zhou Enlai shouted: Learn for the rise of China. Today, the Chinese nation has stood among the nations of the world, but we still have a long way to go. We should study for the prosperity of our country and the rapid development of our nation. When Lu Xun was a child, he studied in Jiangnan Naval Academy. The school awarded him a gold medal because of his excellent grades. He immediately took the medal to the street and bought some books and a string of red peppers. Whenever he reads a book at night and gets cold and hard, he picks a red pepper and chews it in his mouth. It's so hot that he is sweating, so he has been studying like this. Mr. Lu Xun's diligent study made him a great writer, thinker and revolutionary in China. When Chairman Mao was young, he stayed in the library all day, sitting on the roadside of Xuantao reading books, which made him constantly accept the baptism of new ideas and led the people of China to the road of seeking liberation. These famous examples tell us that the road to success is based on books.
