Reading is my wish

Reading is just a luxury for Chang Baohua. Chang Baohua was born in a poor family in Tianjin. His mother was in poor health, had no milk, and the family could not afford to buy milk powder. So he put the paste on the fire, heated it, put some sugar on it, and put it in Chang Baohua's mouth with his fingers. After eating it, he ate it for two years. Family life is so poor that it is impossible to go to school.

When he was a child, Chang Baohua's neighbors were relatively wealthy. The children of that family were one or two years older than Chang Baohua. They carried their schoolbags to school every day. They were so bookish that Chang Baohua envied them. "That kid sometimes plays with me and teaches me chess. Once he opened his schoolbag and showed me his textbooks and stationery. I fell in love with his pencil box at once. When I saw him put the pencil into the pencil sharpener and cut it two or three times, I felt very magical. " Even the words written by that child left a deep impression on Chang Baohua, who was illiterate at that time. Since then, "learning" has become Chang Baohua's biggest wish.

As the elder brother has been talking with his father since childhood and going out to perform, the family's condition has gradually improved, and gradually has some surplus. One day, the elder brother asked Chang Baohua, who was six or seven years old, what he wanted to learn. Chang Baohua said he wanted to go to school, so he introduced Chang Baohua to a private primary school in Tianjin through his good friend. At that time, the school just taught some Chinese, mathematics, physical education and other courses, which was very monotonous, but Chang Baohua was very interested. He even wrote bigger characters better than other students. He was not only used as a model by the teacher, but also often helped the teacher score other students. At that time, Chang Baohua fell in love with learning and cherished the pen and paper. Until now, he does not pay attention to money, but is very stingy with paper.
