No one's transformation is easy, and the same goes for the male protagonist.

you are stupid? You are very smart!

A black child, a single parent, poor, at the bottom of the society, poor in school - such characteristics are typical, especially for a black man who can never get up, he is like this, there is no other way to live, he is a learner The worst idiot. But his mother kept telling him: You are not a fool, you are smart, and you can do what others can do. Does brainwashing work like this? There must be steps and means. The first step is to wear glasses. The second step is to cut off low-level entertainment, stop watching TV, and go to the library to read books. The third step, encouragement, the mother's heartfelt belief. The mother is also the key. If the mother does not have this determination, or abandons herself in her heart, the son will not succeed. The mother is not brainwashing the son, the mother is sincerely expecting the son to be good.

read

No matter how the times change, I believe that reading can bring depth and strength. Reading makes a difference in a black child. The beauty of the book "Beauty or a Tiger" is enough to resist the temptation of TV shows. The book has more connotation and depth. The book can turn a black child into a person who is better than a white child. I believe that the hero has found the direction of his own efforts. When he encountered learning bottlenecks in college, he still relied on reading to solve problems. When he became a doctor, it was still his habit to read various books. There is an essential difference between those who read some books every year and those who never read.

not only reading

Reading can make him good grades, but to change from a tyrannical black man to a skilled doctor with top technology requires not only the spirit of perseverance in reading, but also the epiphany of the soul. It is impossible for a boring soul to climb to the peak of science, even at the peak, he is still humble, because he is full of praise and awe of life. How could he have such a pious experience? Because reading allowed him to see the wisdom of the world, and art allowed him to see the divine light. All good things in this world are interlinked. If you touch and feel good things every day, how can you be lacking in creativity?

Therefore, it is not only reading that changes people, but also the epiphany of the soul.
