Must be
Harry Potter
!!! Really love this magic series. From books to movies, I've read and watched them over and over again. I think the reason for its incredible influence upon me and so many young generations is that Harry Potter accompanied me during my most innocent childhood and became a part of my life which I can never forget. Even now I've grown up into my twenties, I still enjoy reading them from time to time both Chinese and English versions. Just like the famous words in the book: " After all this time?" "Always."
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
@ 💪MIAN (米亚)💪
I have read many books but the most influential book I ever read was
7 Habits of Highly Effective People
by Stephen R. Covey. In this book he writes how to manage yourself and how to interact with others in your social life... highly recommended.

is one of the best books I've read. It's life-changing. Trust me. Read it.

Bridge to Terabithia
by Katharine Paterson. Touching book about the power of imagination. I read it in the fifth grade and cried so hard!
@ 猫子🐰
Les Miserables
has been my lifetime love. I cried my eyes out countless times for the love, faith, real decency and loyalty in the book. That's what a masterpiece should be.
@ lowly
Sense and Sensibility
, by Jane Austen. Before I read this book, I wasn't a big fan of reading, but now that I've read it, I am crazy about western literature. I have since read all of Jane Austen's books and at least 50 other works of western literature. I learned a lot from them and there is no denying that
Sense and Sensibility
changed my life.
@ Tele
Pride and Prejudice
taught me not to judge a person if you don't know him well. Well, actually it's the love story that attracts me, and I've read it many times. Everything you read can influence you even if you never notice it.
@ 胖花猪
A Dream of Red Mansions
occupies an important place in the history of world literature. Chairman Mao said that of China's contributions to the world, one is tea and the other is the book. Because of this book, I am proud of being Chinese!
@ 英子
The primary school textbook
Chinese Geography
had the greatest impact on my life. I was born in a rural area in the north and I studied hard. It was this book and the course built around it that made me realize the outside world is so big and wonderful, arousing my curiosity and motivation. It constantly encouraged me to study hard and pursue my dreams. So it is this book that opened the gates of the world for me.
@ JO
Recently, I have been reading
The Kite Runner
and one sentence really struck me: "For you, a thousand times over." In terms of the hero, at first, many of us would definitely criticize him for what he has done to his "brother". However, we ALSO forgive such actions, because he is just a kid, desiring the love and care of his father. Then as the plot evolves, step-by-step, I am moved by him. He is really a "normal" man. Nobody is perfect and we all have our imperfections. This is certainly a marvelous book, that requires the reader to think and reflect on life.
