  As the new anchor-woman at Phoenix TV, Zen Zimo established a unique style because of her quick mind, sharp perspectives and cool appearance. When we investigate her reading background, another of her many dimensions is made apparent.
  From a wall streeter to an anchor-woman of Phoenix TV, Zen’s reading world is as complex as may be imagined. As a matter of fact, when listing the books she has read, it is impossible to outline a clear skeleton of her reading range. She has read romantic fiction to Buddhist masterpieces and also historical records as her change in profession was so abrupt and so significant. She now says that reading is a way to enjoy life.
  Books play an important role in her childhood memories, as they affected her deeply. Both of her parents are professors in the Chinese language department. Consequently, her house has always been full of many different books. Like many other children, Green fairy tale and Anderson fairy tale were her favorite. She can also remember the story of the Princess and the Pea. Different from other children, she liked to choose the books which she was interested in from the bookshelf on her own. She finished reading Jean Eyre, the novel she loves best, when she was grade six in the primary school. During high school she began to read the works of Qiong Yao(琼瑶), especially I am a piece of cloud. Zen says that as someone born in the 1970s, she couldn’t resist the temptation of Qiong Yao’s novel. At that time, she also liked the novels of Ba Jin and the plays of Cao Yu. And she continued to appreciate the snow city by Liang Xiao Sheng.
  Zen always chooses what she likes to read and her parents never limited the range of her reading. Her mother also told her that she should be independent rather than a man’s accessory.
  During her time in the USA Zen seldom read books. Although some courses taught famous works like those of Nietzsche, she was not interested. Rather, she began to read Zhang Ailing’s novels and was interested in themes of exquisite desolation. She couldn’t adapt herself to the life of white’s and Zhang’s novel serves as a portraiture of her loneliness.
  She joined in the Morgan Stanley after graduation and took part in the coalition of BP and Amoco. This life was very exciting, but she had to do a lot of jobs related to large numbers data, which eventually made her decide to leave. She hesitated for a long time until she read a book named Sugar which made her decide to pursue the life she wanted and leave Morgan.
  
  作为凤凰卫视的新女主播,曾子墨以其快速的反应、尖锐的视角和冷峻的外表展现出了一个独特的风格。当我们调查她的学历时,弄清了她多方面的经历的另一面。
  从一个华尔街人变成了凤凰卫视的女主播,曾子墨的阅读范围你想有多杂就有多杂。实际上,当把她读过的书列成清单后,却无法勾画出一个清晰的阅读范围的轮廓。随着她的职业非常突然而重大的改变她曾阅读过浪漫主义的小说、佛教经典,还读过历史记载。现在她说,阅读是享受生活的途径。
  在她的童年记忆里,书籍起着重大作用,因为书籍对她的影响很深刻。她的父母都是中文系教授,因此她的房子充满许多各种不同的书籍。和其他许多孩子一样,《格林童话》、《安徒生童话》一度是她的最爱。她依然记得《豌豆公主》的情节。和其他的孩子不一样是,她喜欢从自己书架上拿爱读的书读。小学六年级时,她就读完了最爱的小说——《简爱》。高中期间,她开始阅读琼瑶的著作,特别是《我是一片云》。她说,作为生于70年代的人她无法抗拒琼瑶小说的诱惑。在那个时候,她也喜欢读巴金先生的小说和曹禺先生的戏剧,接着欣赏梁晓声的《雪城》。
  曾子墨总是会选出自己喜欢的书,而她的父母也从未限制她的阅读范围。她的母亲告诉她,不要做男人的附庸,要独立。
  在美国期间,曾子墨很少读书,虽然有一些课程讲授像尼采的著作那样的著名著作,但她并不感兴趣,反而开始阅读张爱玲的小说,对其异常孤寂的主题感兴趣。她无法适应白人的生活,张爱玲的小说从侧面反映了她当时内心的寂寞。
  毕业后,她受聘于摩根斯坦利并参与了英国石油和阿莫科的合并案。那是一个非常令人兴奋的年代,不过由于她的工作性质大多与数据有关,最终她还是决定离开。而在漫长的踌躇之后促使她决意离开摩根,投入自己所向往的生活的原因,也是一本书——《糖》。
