Tell me, what is the biggest gain from reading?

I have been listening to stories from my parents since I was very young. At that time, I just thought the contents in the book were funny and didn't care at all, but since then, I have loved books because I can learn a lot from them. When I went to primary school, I began to study by myself. In the first and second grades, I didn't know many words, so I marked Pinyin one by one, only glanced at it briefly, but didn't notice the touching plot and special environment. I didn't find the protagonist's distinctive personality and perseverance. I don't even understand the joys and sorrows in the book. As I get older, I find reading is also a pleasure. I don't read it roughly, but I carefully taste the words and understand the deeper meaning. Because I like reading, I have more than 100 books, including literary masterpieces, stories and novels, as well as periodicals and magazines. These books help me study, enrich my knowledge, tell me some truths, teach me how to face life, study and setbacks, and encourage me to face difficulties and overcome them bravely.
