"There are some books that we are misreading or not fully understanding what the author meant." Liang Xiaosheng said, "For example, people overemphasize the struggle between the old man and the sea in "The Old Man and the Sea", and ignore the warm side between the old man and the child in the text. "If the reader can capture a lot of the nuanced descriptions and reinterpret the work, they will discover a different life for the characters in the work. Sun Xiaoya, who is known for her poetry, believes that the reason for the current misreading problem lies in whether contemporary readers still have the ability to "perceive happiness" from literary works. "Reading allows us to live with light," she said. Reading is an endogenous motivation. The perception of reading is particularly important, and today's readers should understand the details of the text and open up the richness of literature. ”
Writer Zhou Xiaofeng believes that "good writing can have multiple interpretations, just as there is no standard answer to good writing." Writer Jiang Jianwei said: "Today we focus more on happy and pleasant experiences, and forget to focus on pain. He believes that in fact, life is a mixture of joy and sorrow, and reading is more important for us to learn to "turn suffering into happiness".
