When I was young, I liked reading novels about love, detective and so on.Until one day, I attended student union in college. Luckily I was elected the president of student union. Perhaps influenced by the student union climate, I preferred reading official literature.

When I was young, I liked reading romance and detective stories. My preference changed when I attended student union in college. (I was lucky enough to be elected the president of the student union.) Under the influence of the student union, I started to read more official/political literature.

I have been reading a lot of this type of literature. For example, the thing of official, the official notes of Weidong Hou…..
The main ideas about these books are much of a muchness. Most of these are expressed that the dark of official. It’s different from what I known. Maybe these views aren’t exaggerating, but I think it’s existed in real life.

I have been reading a lot of this type of literature. For example, XXX, the thing of official, the official notes of Weidong Hou…..
The main themes about these books are basically/pretty much the same. Most of these books tell us the dark inside of the official world, which is quite different from what I know. Maybe the descriptions in those books are exaggerating, but I think they do exist in real life.

Now I like reading detective novels again. I have been review almost all novels of Higashino Keigo for a long time. During the period, I also have been watching a lot of detective TVs. It’s amazed for me that the director and productor have great rigorous thinking. I was fascinated by progressive plot.

It’s amazing that/It amazes me that the directors and producers of those shows have such great/rigorous/brilliant/genius ideas. I was fascinated by the complex plots.

In fact, I’m prefer watching short videos about all of things. I have some suggestion of app to you. Mabey you know them, like bilibili, youTube…… I know it’s not a good idea to watch short videos, because you can’t understand it by yourself. You don’t have your own perspectives, you just accept the other’s views.

In fact, I prefer watching short videos. I have some APP suggestions for you: Bilibili and YouTube…… I know watching short videos is not so great for you because you can easily waste a lot of your time. Also/In addition to that, you are not likely to form your own opinions/perspectives, instead, you just accept other’s views.

In network developed society, you’d better to develop your own thinking without others. Of course, you also could absorb others thinking. But you must have your own judgement which is correct and witch is wrong. Remembering “select the essence and discard the gross”.

In a society where the Internet is highly-developed, you should have your own opinion on things. Of course, that doesn’t mean you don’t listen to other people’s ideas. The point is you must have the ability to know what’s right and what’s wrong.
