Lu Xun, a great thinker and writer in China, cherishes time very much. He has a wise saying: time is life, and wasting other people's time for no reason is actually tantamount to killing people for money.

Lu Xun really cherishes his time. He spent all other people's coffee drinking time talking with others about work and study. Lu Xun also urged himself to cherish time, study hard and work hard in various forms.

When he was in Beijing, he hung a couplet in his bedroom and study, which contained two poems by Qu Yuan, a great poet in ancient China. The first part is "Don't worry when the sun goes down", and the second part is "I'm afraid the seagulls will sing first" (I'm afraid the cuckoo will have called when she goes again a year later).

There is also a picture of Mr. Fujino, Lu Xun's most admired Japanese teacher, hanging on the wall of the study. Lu Xun wrote in "Morning Flowers": "Whenever he is tired at night and wants to be lazy, he catches a glimpse of the black and thin face on his back under the light.

As if I were about to say something cadence, I suddenly found my conscience and increased my courage. So I lit a cigarette and continued to write some words that made people like' gentlemen' feel deeply painful. "Lu Xun urged himself to take out this pair of couplets and photos.

It is precisely because of this spirit of regarding time as life that Lu Xun extensively dabbled in many fields of natural and social sciences during his 56-year-old life journey, and translated more than10 million words in his life, leaving a valuable cultural heritage for future generations.

2. Balzac writes diligently.

Balzac, a French writer, cherishes time very much and spends all his time writing. His creative schedule is: "working from midnight to noon, that is, sitting in an round-backed chair for twelve hours, trying to revise and create." Then proofread the proofs from noon to four o'clock, eat at five o'clock, go to bed at half past five, and get up at midnight to work.

3. Dong in "Three Jade"

Dong Yu, with straight words, is dull but studious. He is good at studying and interpreting Laozi. He is also good at Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period, and also uses red and black pens as annotations to distinguish similarities and differences. When someone learned from him, Dong Yu refused to teach him, just saying, "You must read it a hundred times by yourself." He added, "Read it a hundred times, and the truth will be clear." The people who followed him said, "We are also eager to learn, but we just can't squeeze out the time."

Dong Yu said: "We should use trilingualism to learn." Someone asked what "three surpluses" meant, and Dong Yu explained: "Winter is a free time in a year, evening is a free time in a day, and rainy days are free time for farming!"

5. Ji Xianlin's Listening with One Ear

Ji Xianlin, a master of Chinese studies, can learn from a poor farmer's child, cherish time as much as gold, and make up for it with diligence, thus becoming a world-famous scholar. He cherishes time to an almost harsh degree. Ji Xianlin used all the "fragments" of time. He kept thinking about meetings, planes, trains, cars and even bicycles, especially when he was walking.

After becoming a celebrity, Ji Xianlin was often troubled by various conferences that had nothing to do with academics. This is very sad for scholars who cherish time like gold. Ji Xianlin, on the other hand, has his own magic formula. He said that when attending these meetings, he only listened with one ear closed, concentrated on thinking and wrote articles in his head.

Even when he was ill in hospital, Mr. Ji Xianlin held out his left hand and left his right hand to write articles every time he had an intravenous drip. Ji Lao cherished time like gold all his life, worked hard and learned both Chinese and western, which is a model for future generations.
