Rampant and Unrestrained

Decisive Heroes, Eastern Fantasy, Cultivation, and Martial Arts: No Goody-Two-Shoes

Works I've read and still remember vividly after twenty years as a veteran reader. I have a personal preference for eastern fantasy, xianxia, and wuxia, and I like transmigration and rebirth stories. Transmigration makes it easy to put yourself in the protagonist's shoes, while reborn protagonists are usually mature, level-headed, and good at planning ahead. At the very least, they can keep their composure in a crisis. Most don't have to start from zero and slowly grow into their personalities.

Books I've Always Loved

Books are time machines that take us back to the ancient past. Even if we can’t live in those times, studying history lets us understand them inside and out. Books are also tunnels that lead us into the future. Through scientific research, we can glimpse what lies ahead, to a certain extent. That’s the power of reading!

AnKing's Reading List

“Within books are golden houses; within books are beauties like jade.” The world of books is enchanting, drawing us into a dream of poetry and picturesque scenes. Maple leaves carry our longing for those we miss. As the autumn wind sighs and the leaves drift down to your fingertips, do you think of the line, “I stop my carriage to admire the maple grove at dusk; frost-red leaves outshine the flowers of February”?

They're All Classics

I once read this passage in a book: Reading can cure ignorance and poverty, heal illness, strengthen resolve, broaden one's horizons, teach us how to get along in the world, make us wiser, and show us how to make friends, understand people, speak, act, and live.

Reading Is a Hobby

For those who love reading, books are a pleasure. The ideas within them are an invisible force that shapes your thoughts and outlook. Spend enough time immersed in books, and your mind becomes clear and your horizons broaden. Your words take on depth, and your bearing grows refined. That's the mark of a well-read person.

Reading Is a Habit

Reading is a lifelong habit. It brings the soul many stirring joys and becomes a window into a happy life.

Spring Is Deepening

“In the end, we read to understand more generously just how complex the world is.” Face the complexity of the world with an open heart. The beautiful feelings we find in books accumulate over time like seeds of wisdom, take root in our hearts, and help us live gently alongside the world.
