Examples are as follows:

1. Gou Jian, the King of Yue

, succumbed to peace, humbled himself to serve Wu, and tasted courage. After "ten years of reunion and ten years of training", he finally turned weak into strong, rose up and destroyed Wu, becoming the overlord of a generation. This is the result of the humiliation of national subjugation, which made him angry and urged him to rise. This shows that when there are many difficulties and there is no way to retreat, people often exert their unexpected potential, desperate for deus ex and open up a way out.

2. Edison

Edison made great contributions to mankind, but when he was a child, his family was poor. Therefore, he saved money, bought instruments and accessories, and created more than 1,3 inventions, so that great changes took place in human society. What is the reason for this? It is not just his wisdom and hard-working spirit. Where does this spirit come from? The indomitable spirit is the result of hardship.

3. Fu Shuo

Fu Shuo (about 1335-1246 BC) was the supreme power minister and prime minister of Wu Ding, the king of the Shang Dynasty (that is, the first in the three public offices). Legend has it that Fu Yan is a slave to building walls. Wu Dingmeng is a sage, whose name is called "Seeking for the Wild". It was obtained by Fu Yan, and it was thought that it was a phase and a national governance. According to official historical classics, archaeological discoveries in recent years and the early genealogy of Fu's family, he is the ancestor of Fu's family of Han nationality in China.

4. Adou is happy and doesn't think about Shu

Liu Chan is fatuous and incompetent, and Shu was captured by Si Mazhao after it was destroyed. At a banquet, Si Mazhao deliberately arranged to perform the songs and dances of Shu in front of Liu Chan. Liu Chan said to Si Mazhao: "I am happy here, but I don't think about Shu."

5. Guan Zhong

Guan Zhong (about 723 BC or 716 BC-645 BC) was named Yiwu, nicknamed "Jingzhong", Han nationality, a native of Yingshang (now Anhui), and was called Guan Zi in history. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi was a famous politician and strategist and a descendant of Zhou Muwang.

Guan Zhong lost his father when he was young, his mother was in the hospital, and he lived in poverty. He had to shoulder the burden of his family early, and to make a living, he went into business with Bao Shuya. After joining the army, he went to Qi, and after many twists and turns, he was recommended by Bao Shuya as an official of Qi (that is, the prime minister). He was called "the first phase in the Spring and Autumn Period" and assisted Qi Huangong to become the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period, so he also said that "Guan Yi was a scholar".
