How many words can flow across the brain in a young student?

I was a crazy reader when I was young.

I remember when I was in primary five, I borrowed the Monte Cristo story from the library.

It was a book in three large volumes. I can only borrow one book each day.  The first day I borrowed volume one. And returned it the next day to borrow volume two.   And then volume three.   If Alexandre Dumas was alive,  he will be amazed that the attraction of his story is so strong,  that a young student like me cannot stop reading.

It was a  Chinese translation.  I can still remember some of the scenes after so many years.  

And then it came some very cheap swordsmen stories.   I used to read them when I was walking home. Macao is a quite small city,  and it was safe reading on the road.

I read a lot when I was young.  And I cherished the experience.  Later I tried reading English novels. I remember my painful experience in reading War and Peace by Tolstoy the Russian writer.  It was an English translation.  It was so difficult for me and I need to look up many words with a dictionary.  

And I don't like reading simplified Chinese words.

It seemed the prints were blurred.  

I don't know how the Chinese young people read  simplified prints.

It occurred to me if  I have read a million words in my brain, and if the words were all simplified,  how frustrating it could be in reading.

How many blurred low resolution images could stop you from reading?

It is the smooth flowing images created a culture of the future.  

To delay reading speed is to delay civilization.

This is the reason why I am against the simplified Chinese words.

And my question is not -

"How many words can flow across the brain in a young student?"

Because it can change the feeling and make things emotional.

If Taiwan is to return to China, this emotional problem is utterly important not to be neglected.

But Taiwan issue is still a minor problem.  It is no big deal in the grand history of China.

The major problem is in a free flowing future for a Chinese reading habit.   It is not a minor case.
