When I was young, because of the lack of knowledge, I went to many places to do things and was not taken seriously. After returning home, his family was also very cold and looked down on him. This is a great stimulus to him. So, he made up his mind to study hard. He often studies late into the night, is very tired, often takes a nap and wants to sleep.

He often worries about it. That night, Kuang Heng was surprised to find that there seemed to be some lights on his own wall. When he got up, he saw the wall cracked and the neighbor's candle was sticking out of the crack.
Kuang Heng saw this and immediately came up with a solution. He found a chisel and made a small hole in the crack in the wall. Immediately, a candlelight rose, and Kuang Heng read the book carefully under this candlelight. From then on, every night, Kuang Heng would lean against the wall and read by the neighbor's candlelight. He has been studious since he was a child.

When Lu Xun was studying in Nanjing Jiangnan Naval Academy, the school awarded him a gold medal with excellent examination results. He didn't wear this medal as a proof of showing off, but sold it on Gulou Street and bought back some beloved books and a bunch of red peppers.
Whenever he reads until the dead of night and it is cold and sleepy, he picks a pepper, divides it into several pieces and chews it in his mouth until his forehead sweats and tears come to his eyes, and his mouth makes a "hum" sound. Suddenly, his whole body warmed up and his drowsiness disappeared, so he picked up a book to study.
