In today’s increasingly fast-paced society, people hurry through life, struggling for survival while their inner world grows ever more barren. We seem to have forgotten the nourishment, joy, and inspiration that books can offer. Faced with an overwhelming flood of entertainment, quiet and selfless reading has become a rarity. At such a moment, a program devoted to rediscovering the beauty of reading has appeared. Dong Qing, the CCTV host who delivered an outstanding performance on the latest season of The Chinese Poetry Competition, has created a new program after years of preparation — The Reader. The show invites well-known figures like Zheng Yuanjie, Liu Chuanzhi, Pu Cunxin, Wang Qianyuan, Xu Jinglei, Cao Wenxuan, and Li Liqun, along with ordinary people from all walks of life, to read aloud words that touch the deepest parts of the human heart, both on camera and on stage. Through them, we discover that even the simplest words can awaken a long-slumbering soul. (Source: Chinese = Douban || Translation = kisskh) Edit Translation
