Introduction Reading is what Mr. Yan Chongnian does everyday. He said: "The development of mankind from barbarism to civilization can be attributed to the invention of writing. The vast sea of books consisting of texts has become the mentor and friend of people for the accumulation of experience and the transformation of society. Books have played an indispensible role in the history of human civilization, and reading good books is a short cut for us to improve our minds"
