1. Edison

In 1854, an event that had a great influence on Edison's development happened. The southern bank of Lake Erie was opened to traffic along the lake railway, which greatly reduced the merchant ship business of the Milan Canal, and Edison's father's business could no longer be maintained.

Because the family's life was getting more and more difficult, in order to seek another development, Edison's family moved here and left Milan to start in Otterborg, Grati, the northern suburb of Port Huron, Michigan.

In 1855, Edison began to go to school. There was only one class in that school, and both the principal and the teacher were Mr. Engel.

Because Edison has an inquisitive nature, he often asks the teacher some unusual questions in class (for example, how the wind is generated; Why one plus one equals two instead of four), in just three months, the teacher kicked him out of school in the name of "imbecile".

after all kinds of tempering, I finally achieved myself.

2. Sima Qian

Sima Qian wrote China's first biographical Historical Records.

Before Historical Records was written, Sima Qian was imprisoned, which should be a great shame for a man, but it can't stop the idea of writing Historical Records, on the contrary, it stimulates the desire to write Historical Records.

I spent most of my time in prison writing a book. In order to write a book, I endured humiliation and hardships, and finally achieved a masterpiece.

Because of this, Sima Qian was admired by later generations.
