General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to reading for all, pointing out that "we should advocate reading more, build a society that loves reading, and continuously improve people's ideological level and enhance their spiritual strength, so that the spiritual world of the Chinese nation can become more profound and rich."

To foster a positive reading atmosphere and promote a culture of "loving to read, reading good books, and reading effectively," the Wujiang District Federation of Trade Unions launched the "Wujiang Workers' Benefits, Happiness Gathering" reading activity. Recently, the Pingwang Federation of Trade Unions, in conjunction with the Aosheng Trade Union, jointly held a summer book club sharing and exchange activity themed "Reading with Ingenuity, Sharing the Charm of Books," where participants shared their reading experiences and appreciated the beauty of reading.

The atmosphere at the book club was lively, with participants freely sharing their thoughts, feelings, and insights from different perspectives, and fully expressing the gains and joy that reading brought them. The speakers' passionate delivery deeply moved the listeners, creating a connection between minds and emotions, and inspiring everyone present.

Let's take a look at the books and insights shared by everyone!

The Five Love Languages (recommended by Song Silong)

I'm grateful to the company for organizing this book-sharing event, which gave me the opportunity to read *The Five Love Languages* in its entirety.

This book is primarily aimed at married couples, but the methodologies it conveys are also applicable to lovers, best friends, buddies, and colleagues. The author likens love to a "love tank," which requires the joint effort of both partners. Each person needs to continuously seek out their partner's needs and effectively utilize the "five love languages" over the years to "fuel" the relationship and maintain its vitality. This book uses vivid examples to explain these five languages in a simple and easy-to-understand way: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. We interactively identify our partner's "love languages" and skillfully use them to keep the "love tank" full.

Interestingly, the last two chapters use a questionnaire based on social practice to help us determine which language we and our partners prefer, which was very helpful.

The Five Love Languages (recommended by Liu Xiaoting)

The biggest takeaway from the book *The Five Love Languages* is that although we all love each other, we express and receive love differently. I prefer to express love through actions. Since everyone has a unique love language, we need to understand each other's love languages to reduce communication and relationship barriers.

Regardless of our love language, the key is to make the other person feel valued and loved. When their love tank is overflowing, they will be more likely to love others, leading to a win-win situation and a more harmonious relationship

Nonviolent Communication (recommended by Zheng Ailin)

*Nonviolent Communication* is not a traditional tool book that provides communication techniques and templates; rather, it's more like a wise guide teaching you how to speak well, treat yourself with peace, and be tolerant of others.

Reading *Nonviolent Communication*, I realized that it's not only harsh words that can cause hurt; many small details in life, often unintentionally uttered, can easily lead to displeasure in others. Everyone is an independent individual, and the prerequisite for communication between people is "mutual respect and understanding." In interpersonal interactions, we should always keep this premise in mind, otherwise, many unnecessary conflicts will arise.

*Nonviolent Communication* presents us with four elements of communication—observation, feelings, needs, and requests. First, "observation" means maintaining objectivity when describing events, without judgment or criticism. Similarly, when others confide in us, we should also maintain a "non-judgmental, non-critical" attitude and listen attentively. Second, "feelings" means fully expressing our emotions without blaming others. Third, "needs" means expressing our own needs, but remember, in this process, we cannot demand that others meet our expectations. Fourth, a "request" refers to asking others to take action, but it should not be expressed in a commanding or demanding tone.

In daily life, conflicts often arise when we try to change others. This violates the premise of communication—mutual respect and understanding. When we try to adjust our tone and wording before communicating with others, we achieve better results.

Reading enriches one's life, and learning illuminates the path to ideals. In the future, Aosheng Technology will continue to promote in-depth and practical reading and exchange activities, further enriching the reading experience and spiritual and cultural life of its employees, and building a broad platform for reading and exchange for more employees. We encourage all employees to learn from books, from practice, and from role models around them, striving to create a positive atmosphere of a book-loving union and nationwide reading.
