Young Tao Xingzhi was forced by the pressure of life and could not concentrate on his studies. He must often take part in labor. Sometimes he helps his father pick melons and firewood to sell in the city, and sometimes he helps his mother pick water and wash vegetables. Seeing that Tao Xingzhi was diligent and eager to learn, President Chongyitang allowed him to enter school for free. In this way, 15-year-old Tao Xingzhi entered Chongyi School.

Because of the solid foundation, I was directly included in the second grade as soon as I entered school, and I ranked first when I graduated. While studying in Chongyi School, Tao Xingzhi not only learned modern scientific knowledge, but also did not leave behind classical literature.

Because of his poor family, he borrowed an anthology of Tang poetry from his classmates in Chongyi School, and copied it neatly after reciting it. When returning the book, the classmate's father asked Tao Xingzhi who he admired most in the Tang Dynasty.

2. Su Xun

Su Xun was a famous litterateur in Song Dynasty, and one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. He was very playful when he was a child, and he didn't realize the importance of reading until he was 27. From then on, he began to study angrily and seized all the time to study. One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, Su Xun got up in the morning and plunged into his study. His wife brought a plate of zongzi and a plate of sugar to the study.

Near noon, when the lady tidied up the dishes and chopsticks, she found that the zongzi had been finished, but the sugar in the dish was intact, and there were many glutinous rice grains on the inkstone next to it. It turned out that Su Xun was absorbed in reading and mistook the inkstone for a sugar dish. It is with this spirit of earnest efforts that Su Xun became a master of literature.
