When he was young, he learned about the existence of cities and was full of yearning for them. Until I went to college, my poor self-esteem and vanity still drove me to constantly search for various classics in the library.

serve the people wholeheartedly. Only by truly understanding the sufferings of the people can we have the direction and goal of serving. Only by going deep among the people can you see the most real hopes and needs. Reading some books about them can also make your thoughts more vivid and profound. Once you understand them, you will understand them, and you can even find many interesting people. Difficult work, the source of problems. Lu Xun's articles are "daggers" and "throwing guns", aiming to criticize the bad nature of the people and make people wake up; while rural books with an "earthy flavor" are more evocative and allow people to understand the sufferings of rural people. Then you have empathy, go on the road with empathy, and devote yourself to rural revitalization. It is a road to revitalization full of human touch. The road is long and difficult, but at the end it is full of flowers and beautiful scenery!
