1. Teenagers work hard to lay the foundation for life.
Fan Zhongyan grew up in a poor family and his father died at the age of two. His mother took him, remarried to Changshan Zhu, and lived in a house with a sponsor. Zhu's children often laughed at him. Therefore, when he was very young, he secretly made up his mind that he must stand on his own feet and get ahead in the future. At that time, for him, the only way to change his fate was reading. Fan Zhongyan studied hard at Liquan Temple first. He only cooks two liters of millet porridge every day. After the porridge cooled and solidified, he divided it into four parts and ate two pieces of pickles in the morning and evening to satisfy his hunger. Sleepy in reading, no matter how cold it is, he washes his face with cold water, hangs his head and ties his legs. He didn't get up until midnight every day, and he spent almost his whole teenage life like this.
2, youth is fearless, it is the age of despair.
For further study, he tried to be admitted to Yingtian College at that time. He gets up early every morning to dance sword and study during the day. Although the conditions in the academy were good at that time, Fan Zhongyan still ate porridge every day. Seeing that he studied so hard and lived so hard, his classmates specially sent him some delicious food, but he refused. Fan Zhongyan knows that the purpose of his coming to the academy is to study, not to have fun.
3, fight morality in middle age and be a good person.
Fan Zhongyan reached middle age and finally survived the most difficult days in his life. He lives in a temple and wants to be the first. But when a person stands higher, he must see farther. He often teaches his son that ordinary people should take the overall situation as the most important thing, and don't bring great disaster because of taking a nickname for personal gain, so as not to regret it. While doing so, he always reminds himself: don't disregard his conduct and integrity because of immediate interests.
4. Work hard in his later years and adopt his son Sun Zhifu.
In his later years, Fan Zhongyan came to Dengzhou, known as the "Holy Land for the Aged", to enjoy his later years. For so many years, he has been working hard for the country and the people and separated from his family. From then on, he can finally enjoy his family and support himself. Of course, his greatest pleasure is to educate children. Under his careful guidance, all his four sons learned to be successful. Everyone's life has a time limit. When he was young, he was full of blood and vitality. Of course, he has to work hard, but as he grows older, his blood gas gradually declines, so there is no need to make trouble by all means.
