Tao Shiliang said that only reading is free, and only one person can. Unlike looking for companions when climbing high and overlooking, boating and swimming, and visiting places of interest; Unlike drinking and playing chess, you need to find an opponent. He also pointed out that reading time can be freely controlled. You can study all day, one year or even your whole life.
Reading space is also free. Sitting in the study, you can travel all over the world, see all the beautiful scenery on earth, know all the wonders on earth and read all the saints on earth. Thousands of years later, you can still meet and talk with the ancients. Unfortunately, reading is the most beautiful thing in the world! The world doesn't know yet.

Looking around the world, thousands of years later, for the ancients, the happiness on earth is nothing more than this. Unfortunately, the world doesn't know. " "
