I noticed this book first because of its name: Only time and ideals cannot be disappointed. When I saw this sentence, I couldn't help but recite it silently in my heart. It felt a bit complicated. There are many things in the world that are worth guarding, such as family, love, friendship, and for me, a "foodie", of course, food, time and Where can ideals be ranked in life? Then I thought about it, only time is irreversible, and the past is the past. Each of us uses time to protect family, love, and friendship, and these are all included in our ideals. After thinking about it this way, this sentence immediately took on warmth and heart-warming warmth.

This book is a youth interview with Han Chunli, the chief reporter of "China Youth" magazine. Looking through the author's profile, I found that the author is an "old" reporter who has been on the frontline of news reporting for 28 years, and the book also contains exactly 28 characters she interviewed. Is this a coincidence? The 28 characters have many professions, including scientists, writers, scholars, entrepreneurs, Buddhist masters, publishers, architectural designers, hosts, athletes, college student village officials, famous actors, etc. It may seem a bit complicated, but they are all us. The "Gundam"s of this era. Some of their names are nationally famous, and some are not, but each of them is a star in his or her own industry, and their experiences are enough to give each of us young people the nutrition to improve their growth.

More than thirty years ago, a 12- or 13-year-old boy who grew up in a small village near Maiji Mountain in Tianshui, Gansu Province dreamed of being a train driver and driving a train through a cave in front of his home. Head east and go to the outside world. The specific goal is to see Tiananmen one day. After graduating from university, his first job was the Economic Reform Research Office of the Pipeline Bureau of the Petroleum Ministry in Langfang, Hebei Province. A new female colleague in the office raised eyebrows at the desk and chair assigned to her. He also advised her that it would only take a few years to get the things from the government. The female colleague said very seriously: This set of desks and chairs may last me a lifetime. It was this sentence that stimulated him. Could it be that he would spend his whole life with this set of tables and chairs? Later, he resigned decisively and started his own business. His name is Pan Shiyi, the current chairman of SOHO China.

The book also writes about the famous singer Han Hong. In 1989, when she was still working in the army, she went to perform in Hainan and accidentally got poisoned by eating clams. She took a lot of hormonal drugs to treat her illness. As a result, she gained weight as if she was being flattered, and there was no way she could lose weight in the future. Her obesity has become a huge obstacle to her singing career. Some competition judges even directly said: If you are Na Ying or Li Na, go back and wait for us to carry you in an eight-carat sedan! If you are not them, go back and lose weight quickly! It was the repeated failures that made Han Hong full of confidence and firmly believed that as long as one is persistent and strong, nothing can be accomplished. We have witnessed Han Hong now. She not only carries her personal reputation on her shoulders, but also has a strong sense of social responsibility. From the preface, we learned that in order to conduct an exclusive interview with Han Hong, the author of the book, Han Chunli, personally went to Han Hong’s grandma’s house, met Han Hong’s uncle and aunt, and also met the little girl that grandma’s house had always reserved for Han Hong. In the room, there is a piano that Han Hong used, as well as beautiful photos of Han Hong wearing a skirt-style military uniform. At that time, Han Hong had not gained weight. From these home visits, Han Chunli learned about Han Hong's life experience and realized the reason for Han Hong's deep love for her grandmother's family. Later, I went to watch Han Hong's performances live several times, which deepened my understanding of Han Hong's singing level and singing style. It can be said that Han Hong achieved her singing dream with persistence, and Han Chunli completed her writing at a high level with her seriousness in her work.

He and his co-workers developed "Dong Gang Software". Three years later, at the age of 30, he became a "National Model Worker." ...The characters in the book are all successful. Although "success" cannot be accurately defined, it is undeniable that they are all characters we all want to copy. So how to copy it? Like them, work hard and do not let down the gift of time. There are illustrations for 28 characters in the book. Although they are of different ages, everyone has so bright eyes and full of energy. When you see the static photos, you can imagine their high spirits and feelings. to their youthful vitality. Each of them lived up to their ideals, and time did not live up to them, right?
