💡感想：
Though Chinese students are taught not to question offcial texts, they still keep the ability to appreciate the eternal beauty of literature and feel enraptured by it. This chapter also reminds me of Stoner, who was so fascinated by literary works that he dedicated his whole life to this undertaking. In a sense, the light of literature is something that can beam through cold political documents. I do rejoice more in reading this book day by day :)
