Confucius, surnamed Kong, named Qiu, was a famous thinker, educator and politician in the Spring and Autumn Period in China, and also the founder of Confucianism in China. The reason why he became a saint with 3,000 disciples and became famous in the world is inseparable from his efforts as a child. Some people say that "genius comes from hard work".
According to historical records, Confucius' mother taught him to read and write when he was just three years old. By the time he was four years old, he could already read more than 100 words.
One day, his mother said, "Can you recite the words I taught you yesterday?"
Kong Qiu said, "I remember everything."
Mother said, "well, I'll test you tomorrow morning."
Kong Qiu sleeps with his brother. That night, after he went to bed, he said to his brother, "Brother, do you remember everything your mother taught you?"
My brother said, "I remember everything. What about you? "
Kong Qiu said, "I practiced many times and probably memorized them, but I didn't shake hands. My mother will test me tomorrow morning. If she doesn't, she will be very sad. " No, I have to get up and practice more. "
The younger brother was moved by his spirit of studying hard and being filial to his mother. He said with distress, "It's cold. If you don't get up to practice, just write it on your stomach." I can feel right and wrong, so I can check what you wrote! "
So little Kong Qiu wrote on his brother's chest. Whenever you write a word, read it out loud. But the voice grew louder and louder, and when he finished writing the last word, the voice could not be heard. After checking the last sentence, my brother listened to his even breathing and watched him smile sweetly and lovingly.
The next morning, when his mother took the exam, he passed again. The mother was surprised and said, "This child is really amazing. He taught him so many words the day before yesterday, and only one day later, he knew everything. He will surely do great things in the future! "
Kong Qiu looked at her mother's happy face and smiled happily. However, in this smile, there are two lines of tears.
My brother standing by knows him well and knows that behind his superhuman talent, more is my brother's perseverance and hard work.
