Kuang Heng, the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty in the Han Dynasty, liked reading since childhood. But the family is so poor that they can't even eat enough. How can they afford to go to school? He had to work during the day and study by himself at night. What should I do if I have no money to buy lamp oil at home?

Kuang Heng didn't give in to the difficulties, so he came up with an idea: he cut a small hole in the wall and studied by the dim light of his neighbor's house. He worked hard and learned a lot, and later became prime minister.

2. Su Qin

During the Warring States Period, Su Qin was so tired that he studied day and night that he stabbed himself in the leg with an awl to clear his head. Sun Jing of the Han Dynasty tied his hair to the beam with a rope to prevent him from falling asleep while studying. If he dozes off, he will be awakened. This is the story of "stabbing the stock and hanging the beam" in history.

3. Qu Yuan

When Qu Yuan was a child, he hid in a cave to read the Book of Songs, regardless of the opposition of his elders and the freezing weather. Three years later, he familiarized himself with 305 Poems of Poetry, and absorbed rich nutrition from these folk songs, and finally became a great poet.

4. Wang Xizhi

Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, practiced calligraphy hard since childhood. Every time he finishes writing, he goes to the pond in front of his house to wash his brush. After a long time, a pool of clear water turned into a pool of ink. Later, people called this pond "Mo Chi". Through diligent study and hard practice, Wang Xizhi finally became a famous calligrapher and a "book saint".

5. Flour mill owner

Miller is a famous French writer in the19th century. Born in a peasant family, he studied painting with others when he was young. He left his teacher because he was dissatisfied with his flashy artistic style. Later, he made a living by painting nude pictures in Paris. Gradually, he got tired of this art, but paintings with other themes could not be sold. Therefore, he once fell into the abyss of poverty, distress and despair.

Forced by life, he had to leave Paris to live in the country. In the countryside, he still failed to get rid of poverty, but the beautiful nature, simple farmers and farm life aroused the painter's creative passion. He endured all difficulties and persisted in his creation, resulting in many famous works, such as The Sower.
