One of the most prolific people I know in my friend Ling. I first met her in high school and I still remember it clearly. She was sitting in the corner of the library, completely absorbed in a thick novel, awfully fierce to chatter at the student around her. It’s cool as if they didn’t exist to her. Watched her record my attention were not the face that she was reading but also the content of her book. It was a deep philosophy that I wouldn’t have 30 pcs at her age over the year. I have watched her explore a wide range of genres. Seamlessly changing from fiction to non-fiction, she has never confided herself to one category. One moment she would be engrossed in her book. When my history and the next she would dive into a sociological thriller. What fascinates me is that it’s never just about the act of reading for her. Each time she finished a book she emerged with fresh insight or thought provoking question. I believe her love for reading is driven by curiosity. Ling seeks not only to escape reality but also to deepen her understanding of the world. Her book serves as a window into new cultural and perspective.

One of the most prolific people I know is my friend Ling. I first met her in high school, and I still remember it clearly. She was sitting in the corner of the library, completely absorbed in a thick novel, almost oblivious to the students around her. It was as if they didn't exist to her. What captured my attention was not just the fact that she was reading but also the content of her book. It was deep philosophy that I wouldn't have understood at her age. I have watched her explore a wide range of genres. Seamlessly changing from fiction to non-fiction, she has never confined herself to one category. One moment she would be engrossed in a historical novel, and the next she would dive into a sociological thriller. What fascinates me is that it's never just about the act of reading for her. Each time she finishes a book, she emerges with fresh insights or thought-provoking questions. I believe her love for reading is driven by curiosity.
