Original text: At the fourteenth hour of his last year in office, he returned to his studies and became a disciple, not afraid of dangers and obstacles. Every word: If people don’t learn, how can they succeed? Or under the trees, weave thatch into a nunnery, cut thorns into pens, and carve tree sap into ink. At night, I read under the stars and moon, and in the dark, I shine by myself under the wormwood. When I look at the book, I find some clues, and I write about his clothes to record his events. The disciples liked his diligent study and often changed his clothes with clean clothes. The last commandment was: "My wife is eager to learn, and she will still exist even after she dies; if she is not a scholar, even though she lives, she will be called a walking corpse!" ) dangerous obstacles. It is often said: If people don’t learn, then how can they achieve success? Sometimes he would lean under the trees and weave white cogongrass into a thatched hut, cut wattle sticks to make a pen, and inscribe the sap as ink. At night, I would read under the stars and moon, and if it was dark (if it was), I would tie up mugwort to illuminate myself. When he reads and understands something, write it on his clothes to remember it. Those who studied with him liked his diligence very much and often exchanged clean clothes for Ren Mo's dirty clothes. When he was about to die, he warned: "People like to study, and even if they die, they will still seem to be alive; those who do not learn, even if they are alive, will be mediocre and incompetent." (now part of Xindu County, Chengdu City), he studied "Qi Shi" at a young age and was very knowledgeable. He traveled to the capital and taught for ten years.
