1. Collect several stories of celebrities who seized opportunities (must be from ancient times)
Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was born in the common class. During the Qin Dynasty, he served as the pavilion chief of Surabaya and raised troops in Pei (now Jiangsu Pei County), called Peigong. After the death of Qin, he was named King of Han. Later, he defeated Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, in the Chu-Han War and became the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty).
When Zhu Yuanzhang was 25 years old, he joined the Red Scarf Army led by Guo Zixing to resist the tyranny of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. In the seventh year of Dragon and Phoenix (1361), he was granted the title of Duke of Wu, and in the tenth year he called himself King of Wu. In the twenty-eighth year of Yuan Zhizheng (1368), after basically defeating all peasant uprising armies and wiping out the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty, he proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing.
Napoléon Bonaparte (1769-1821), the all-powerful Emperor of the West, recognized as the God of War, was one of the four greatest military commanders in European history (Alexander the Great, Caesar The Great, Hannibal, Napoleon), commanded more than 60 battles of various sizes in his lifetime, which is more than the sum of the battles commanded by famous generals such as Alexander the Great, Caesar, Hannibal, and Suvorov in history. Even more, Napoleon became the unbeatable overlord of Europe, becoming Napoleon the Great as famous as Caesar and Alexander.
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng was born in a poor peasant family, but he had few ambitions. In 210 BC, Qin Shihuang died of illness. The eunuch Zhao Gao forged Qin Shihuang's last edict and established Qin Shihuang's youngest son Hu Hai as the puppet emperor. Zhao Gao usurped power and carried out more cruel oppression and exploitation of the people. The Qin Dynasty conscripted poor peasants on a large scale to guard the border for military service, build palaces, carry out water and land transportation, and engage in various hard labor, which caused great disasters to the people. In July 209 BC, 900 poor farmers including Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were conscripted to guard Yuyang. Due to heavy rain on the road, the road collapsed and they were unable to arrive on time. According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, they were executed as scheduled. Seeing his situation and the hatred of the people across the country for the violent Qin, Chen Sheng decided to seize this opportunity to mobilize the border guards to kill the Qin officers who were escorting them. He raised a pole as a flag, used wooden sticks and hoes as weapons, and led this 900-strong peasant armed force to resist the violent Qin Dynasty. After the uprising, it immediately received support from the broad masses of the people. The majority of farmers brought their own dry food and joined the insurrectionary army one after another. The insurrectionary army expanded rapidly, attacking cities and plundering territory with overwhelming force. Finally overthrew the rule of Qin Dynasty.
Mr. Pingyuan wants to select 20 retainers to go with him to the Chu Kingdom to sign a contract. Nineteen people were selected, and there was still one vacancy, so Mao Sui took the initiative to request to go. Lord Pingyuan saw that he was unknown, so he felt contempt for him and asked, "How many years have you been here, sir?" Mao Sui said, "Three years." Lord Pingyuan said, "I heard that if a cone is in a bag, it will You will stand out. You have been here for three years, why are you still not famous? "Mao Sui said: "The problem is that you have not kept me in your pocket. As long as you give me this opportunity, I will stand out." Pingyuan Jun listened. He thought it was reasonable, so he took Mao Sui as an envoy. Sure enough, Mao Sui lived up to expectations and made the first contribution to the Chu-Zhao Alliance.
2. Examples of successful celebrities who learned from the strengths of others
Meng Changjun "went to the Qin Dynasty for a dangerous trip, and the chickens crowed and the dogs robbed" is a typical story of learning the strengths of others to help oneself succeed: < /p>
At that time, King Zhao of Qin was thirsty for talents. Hearing about Lord Mengchang's reputation, he wanted to recruit him to Qin. But when Lord Mengchang heard that he had an official position, he was moved, and his retainers refused to listen no matter how much they tried to persuade him. King Qin Zhaoxiang finally managed to invite Lord Mengchang to Qin and appointed him as the prime minister.
This move was opposed by Qin ministers. They believed that Lord Mengchang was from Qi and would definitely "come to Qi first and then Qin." King Qin Zhaoxiang had no choice but to depose Lord Mengchang and put him under house arrest.
Lord Mengchang asked someone to find King Qin Zhaoxiang’s beloved concubine, hoping that she would persuade King Qin Zhaoxiang to let him return to Qi. The concubine heard that Lord Mengchang had a fox-white fur worth thousands of gold, so she offered to exchange it for the fox-white fur.
But when Lord Mengchang arrived in Qin, he had already dedicated this fox white fur coat to King Zhaoxiang of Qin. At this time, a retainer volunteered to "solve your problem", imitating a dog to dig holes, got into the treasure house of King Qin Zhaoxiang, and stole the fox white fur. Finally, King Qin Zhaoxiang listened to his concubine's persuasion and agreed to let Lord Mengchang return to his country.
After Mengchang was released, he was worried that King Qin Zhaoxiang would regret it, so he went out of seclusion incognito and under the stars at night. When we arrived at Hangu Pass, it was already midnight. According to the customs regulations at that time, only when the rooster crows can the gate be opened to let people in and out. At this time, one of Mengchangjun's disciples imitated the crow of a chicken, causing all the chickens nearby to crow.
When the officials guarding the pass heard the rooster crow, they opened the door and Mengchangjun and others took the opportunity to rush out. By the time the pursuers arrived, Lord Mengchang and his party had already gone away. This story of "cocks crowing and dogs stealing" vividly demonstrates Mengchangjun's characteristics of raising scholars.

Tian Wen (? - 279 BC), namely Lord Mengchang. Gui's surname is Tian, ??and she is one of the "Four Lords of the Warring States Period" (note: the Four Lords of the Warring States Period are also called the Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period). During the Warring States Period, she was a nobleman of Qi State, the grandson of Qi Wei King Tian Yinqi, the son of Jingguo Lord Tian Ying, and the King of Qi Xuan Tian Bijiang's nephew. Because he was granted the title of Duke of Xue (today's Guanqiao Town, Tengzhou City, Shandong Province), his father was also called Duke Xue and named Lord Mengchang.
Relying on the rich assets left by his father, Mengchangjun recruited talents from all over the world in the fiefdom of Xue Yi, and had thousands of diners under his family. King Zhao of Qin was thirsty for talents. Hearing about Lord Mengchang's reputation, he wanted to recruit him to Qin and make him prime minister. He soon fled back.
Later he became King Min of Qi and Prime Minister. He once united Han and Wei to defeat Chu and Qin. In the seventh year of King Min of Qi (294 BC), due to the rebellion of the noble Tian Jia, King Min was suspicious of him. He returned to Xue due to illness, and soon fled to Wei to serve as the prime minister. Zeng Xi united with Qin, Zhao and Yan to defeat Qi.
After King Xiang of Qi was established, Tian Wensui remained neutral and soon joined forces with Mo to join the Qin Dynasty. After his death, all the disciples fought to establish themselves, and the territories Xue Weiqi and Wei Dao attacked and destroyed them together. The grandsons Tian Ling and Tian Guo were renamed the Xue family when Liu Bang pacified the world and settled in Zhuyi, Pei County.

4. I am eager to learn about the success of famous people. Five examples will be given today. Note that they are not worthy of our reference, so that they can learn from other people's examples.
Examples:
1. The German Helmholtz studied flying animals. , it was found that the weight of a flying animal is proportional to the cube of the line of its body. Helmholtz's research pointed out the limitations of the body size of flying objects.
By drawing on Helmholtz’s research results, people conducted detailed research and careful imitation of bird flight organs, and based on the principles of bird flight mechanisms, they finally created a glider capable of manned flight.
2. "If I have seen far, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants." Newton drew on the exploration experience of many predecessors in the 16th century, and based on his own hard thinking and exploration , established the classical mechanics system.
3. There was a man named Han Zhihe in the Tang Dynasty who was "good at carving wood in the shape of luan, crane, crow, and magpie. The movement and stillness of drinking and pecking were indistinguishable from the real thing. He kept the violence in his belly and released it." The flying clouds can reach a height of three feet to one or two hundred steps before descending. "During the Western Han Dynasty, some people used bird feathers to make wings and flew down from high platforms in an attempt to imitate the flight of birds.
4. Jia Yi borrowed the history of the Qin Dynasty and wrote "On the Passage of Qin" to admonish Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
5. Du Mu drew lessons from the story of Afang Palace and wrote "Ode to Afang Palace". (4) Extended reading of celebrity stories for reference:
Successful reference:
Being good at learning from others is an essential quality for individuals to succeed. Especially in scientific exploration, it is even more important to be good at summarizing and drawing on the achievements of predecessors. The great scientist Newton once said frankly: “If I can see far, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants.
"Newton drew on the exploration experience of many predecessors in the 16th century. On this basis, through his own hard thinking and exploration, he established a system of classical mechanics, which became a dazzling pearl in the treasure house of modern natural science. Just imagine if it had not been for the success of his ancestors. How could Newton achieve such brilliant achievements? It can be seen that if a person wants to succeed, he cannot do without learning from others.
5. Learn the benefits of learning and famous examples
In life, experience and experience go hand in hand. The more experience you have, the more life experience you will have. The more experience you have, the more intelligent and rational you will be. However, due to the limitations of many factors, people’s experience is not unlimited. Therefore, the experience we have accumulated is limited. If we want to continuously enrich and accumulate our life experience and improve the quality of life, we must learn to learn from it
In life, we are already inadvertently learning from others. We learn from others. For example, if we want to buy a house, we will visit people who have just bought a house or have more experience in buying a house. If we want to decorate, we will visit the decorators who have just lived in a new house, etc.; I usually go to I asked my shopkeeper who was a Chinese teacher. When I have a problem with numbers, I won’t go to him, because people who study literature usually get confused when they hear numbers. I go to my sister, who is a well-known big company. The accountant in charge has been obsessed with numbers since she was a child. In the past, she used to buy cloth in cents to a foot, and how many feet and inches of cloth she needed to buy. At a very young age, she could figure it out in one go. I was so impressed; if If I want to know life tips and frugal strategies, my mother is my best teacher. This is a lifelong research topic, and she studies it deeply and never tires of it. She is definitely a mentor. I also have two good friends, one of whom is emotionally sensitive. She is good at thinking and summarizing. When I encounter something that I have never understood, I will talk to her, and she often suddenly becomes enlightened. The other person is cheerful and sensible, and is also the leader of the unit. She has experienced a lot of things in the scene. When I encounter problems at work, Or he will unconsciously tell her about the frustrating things that he has not handled well in life. Generally, within three sentences, he can point out a bright road for you; generally men are more humorous, and there are a few classmates and colleagues who fall into this category. For this type, the sun shines brightly every day, and whenever I feel depressed, I will call them or go to their office to sit there. A few witty and appropriate remarks will make you feel happy and suddenly enlightened. All of the above are unconscious. I do it casually. I think if I am not stupid, it has something to do with my ability to learn from others. From this, I thought that if we transition from inadvertently learning to learning in a planned, purposeful and conscious manner, we will be able to learn from others. We are very close to "wisdom".
With sincerity, learn to learn from each other, become wise, and gain friendship.

7. Novel celebrity stories
Balzac, who took pleasure in suffering
Balzac is a representative of French realist writers. Balzac completed ninety novels in his lifetime, working an average of more than twelve hours a day. Every night at twelve o'clock, the servant would wake him up. He would put on his white monastic clothes and write quickly. Usually he would write for five or six hours continuously, and would not leave the table to rest until he was extremely tired.
Balzac is universally recognized as a master of observing and analyzing human nature, but in real life, he is not very shrewd. When he was young, he failed in business and owed a debt of 60,000 francs. After he became famous, although he earned a lot of money, he ended up being unable to make ends meet due to extravagance and waste. During this period, an interesting thing happened.
One night Balzac woke up and found a thief looking through his drawers. He couldn't help laughing. The thief asked: "Why are you laughing?"
Balzac said: "It's so funny. I searched for a long time during the day and couldn't even find a cent. What else can you find in the dark? What?”
The thief turned around and left because he was asking for trouble. Balzac smiled and said: "Please close the door."
The thief said: "Your house has four walls, why are you closing the door?"
Balzac said humorously: " It is not used to prevent theft, but to block the wind."
Balzac once boasted that he could surpass Napoleon, "What his sword cannot do, my pen can do it." He did. He did it, but unfortunately he only lived to be fifty years old, leaving behind many unfinished works and becoming a huge loss to all mankind.
Thoughts: Balzac once boasted that he wanted to surpass Napoleon, "What his sword couldn't do, my pen can do." He did it.
Balzac's example once again vividly illustrates that life is a state of mind.

All the property Colonel Sanders owned after retirement was a small restaurant next to the highway. Although the hotel is small, it is unique and unique. But the most popular dish, which is also the favorite dish of his guests, is the crispy and delicious fried chicken he invented and cooked, which alone brought him a considerable fortune. His customers have praised his fried chicken for years. But what he never expected was that because the highway was diverted elsewhere, the restaurant's business suddenly plummeted, and he had to close down. Forced into desperation, Colonel Sanders decided to sell his fried chicken recipe to other restaurants in exchange for a meager return.
During the promotion process, no restaurant was willing to buy his formula, and they laughed at him from time to time.

Not only was he ridiculed but also rejected one after another, which shows how much these experiences had a huge impact on him. But he never gave up. Before he found a buyer, he drove all over the country, with food and accommodation in the car. Only after being rejected 1,009 times did someone finally agree to adopt his idea and buy his car. formula. Since then, his chain stores have spread all over the world; he has also been recorded in the annals of business history. This is the origin of KFC.
In order to commemorate Colonel Sanders, people set up a statue of him in front of all KFC stores as the image brand of KFC. As the saying goes: "A sharpshooter is shot one shot at a time!"

If you can hold on to your goals and persevere, you'll outperform most people in no time. Remember, you are in control of your life. If you set your mind to a goal, you will find a way to succeed.
The story of Gates’ childhood - Be an oak tree, not a grass
Bill Gates has many “bests in the world”, for example: he is the first person to rely on ideas, A person who gets rich through intelligence and thinking; he is the richest man in the world, with a fortune of US$16 billion in 1996; he is the youngest richest man in history; he is the first person to start from scratch and create a fortune of 100,000 yuan in just 20 years. A genius with 13.9 billion US dollars; he is the first pioneer in human history to accumulate billions of wealth by relying on computer software; he is the first example of developing and utilizing high technology and high IQ to create huge wealth... Therefore, in the 1990s, A powerful Bill Gates whirlwind blew on the earth. So what kind of person is Gates? His deeds have been introduced in detail in many thick books. Let me tell you a few stories about him when he was a child!
Bill Gates spent his childhood in Seattle, Washington State, USA. Seattle is the base of Boeing Company. Nearly half of the employees in the city work for this company, so people also call Seattle " "Boeing City". It is one of the three gateways to the West Coast of the United States along with San Francisco and Los Angeles. Gates, a 7-year-old boy with sandy hair, likes to read the World Book Online Encyclopedia the most. He often read this big book, which was almost 1/3 of his weight, for several hours, reading it from beginning to end, word for word.
He often fell into deep thought, and seemed to feel strongly that what a magical and magical world was hidden in the small words and huge books! The symbols of words can actually record and spread countless interesting things about our predecessors and people from all over the world. He also thought that human history will become longer and longer...then won't the online encyclopedias in the future become larger and bulkier? Is there any good way to create a magic box, which is as big as a small cigarette box and can contain a large online book all-inclusively? How convenient it would be.
This wonderful spark of thought was later realized for him, and it was smaller than a cigarette box and only needed a small chip.
Gates is reading more and more books and thinking about more and more questions. One time, he suddenly said to his fourth-grade classmate Carl Ed: "It is better to be an oak tree standing on a bald hill than to be a grass in the lawn. The grass is the same over and over again, without individuality. The oak tree is tall and straight, holding its head high in the sky." He insisted on keeping a diary and jotting down his thoughts at any time. He was often as thoughtful as an adult at a young age.
He realized very early that human life is hard-won and he should cherish the precious opportunity of coming to this world. He wrote in his diary: "Life is a grand appointment. For a person, the most important thing in life is to keep the supreme promise made by the accumulated reason of mankind..." Then " What is "promise"? Just want to do something earth-shattering.
He wrote in another diary: "Perhaps, human life is a burning "fire", and all a person can do is to try his best to get out of this "fire"." To rescue something from a fire." This kind of awareness of "chasing life" is very rare among children of the same age.
Whether it is the "promise" that Gates thinks about or the "things" that he needs to save in life, they are reflected in Gates' daily actions, including any homework in school and assignments assigned by teachers. Whether he is playing a musical instrument, writing a composition, or competing in sports, he will devote all his time to completing it to the best of his ability.
Once, the teacher gave his fourth-grade students a composition about the special functions of the human body. Four or five pages are required. As a result, Gates used the Internet encyclopedia and other medical, physiological, and psychological books in his father's study to write more than 30 pages in one breath. Another time, the teacher asked his classmates to write a story of no more than 20 pages. Gates thought about it and wrote a 100-page magical and twists and turns story, which surprised both the teacher and classmates! Everyone said about him: "No matter what Gates does, he always likes to reach the top, and he will do it without making a sound. If he makes a surprise, he will not be willing to do it."
Gates in sports and society This spirit of not falling behind others is also reflected in activities.
Once during the summer vacation, the Boy Scouts went on an 80-kilometer walking march, which lasted for a week. He wore a pair of brand-new high boots. Obviously, the new shoes did not fit well. The 13-kilometer walking march every day also involved mountain climbing. , and walking through the forest made him suffer a lot; on the first night, his heels were worn out and there were many blisters on his toes. He gritted his teeth and kept going. The next night, his feet were extremely red and swollen, and the cracked skin was bleeding. His companions advised him to stop moving forward, but he shook his head and asked the team doctor for some cotton wool and gauze bandage, as well as some painkillers, and continued on his way. In this way, he persisted until a checkpoint on the way. The team found that his feet were seriously inflamed and ordered medical treatment before suspending the march. Gates' mother came from Seattle. When she saw the ulcers on his feet, she cried sadly and complained about why her son didn't stop marching earlier. Gates said calmly: "It's a pity that I didn't reach the destination this time."
"Cowboy King" Levi's
"Cowboy King" Levi's history of western success has this A legend: Like many young people, he went to the West with dreams to chase the gold rush.
One day, he suddenly found a big river blocking his way to the west. After waiting for several days, more and more pedestrians were blocked, but they were unable to cross the river. As a result, some people took detours upstream and downstream, while others returned home, and even more complained. As Levi's mood gradually calmed down, he remembered a magic weapon for "thinking to win" that someone once taught him. It was a passage: "It's great. Such a thing happened to me, and it gave me a way to grow." Opportunity. Everything happens for a reason and will help me." So he came to the river and kept repeating to himself "very excitedly": "It's great that the river is blocking my way. Give me a chance to grow, and everything that happens must have its cause and effect, and it will definitely help me." Sure enough, he really had a brilliant business idea - Ferry. No one was stingy with a small amount of money to take his ferry across the river. Soon, his first wealth was obtained because the river was in the way.
After a while, the ferry business began to slow down. He decided to give up and continue his journey west to find gold. When he came to the west, there were people everywhere. He found a suitable empty place, bought tools, and started to pan for gold. Not long after, several villains surrounded him and told him to get out of his way and not infringe on their territory. As soon as he reasoned a few words, the group lost their patience and started punching and kicking him. In desperation, he had no choice but to leave in despair. He finally found another suitable place, but not long after, the same tragedy happened again, and he was kicked out again. When he first arrived in the West, he was bullied many times. Finally, after being beaten for the last time, looking at the backs of those people walking away, he once again thought of his "magic weapon": It's great, such a thing happened to me, and it was given to me again. Opportunities for growth, everything that happens must have its cause and effect, and it will definitely help me. He said it to himself repeatedly and earnestly, and finally, he came up with another brilliant idea - selling water.
There is no shortage of gold in the West, but it seems that it is unable to compete with others; there is a shortage of water in the West, but no one seems to be able to think of it. Soon his business selling water was booming. Slowly, some people also participated in his new industry, and later, more and more people were in the same industry. Finally one day, a strong man selling water next to him issued an ultimatum to him: "Little man, don't come here to sell water anymore. Starting from tomorrow morning, the territory of selling water here belongs to me." He thought that the man was I was joking, but he still came the next day. Unexpectedly, the guy came up immediately, beat him up without any explanation, and finally demolished his water tanker too. Levi's once again had to accept the reality helplessly. However, when this guy walked away, he immediately began to adjust his mentality, forced himself to be excited again, and kept saying to himself: Great, such a thing happened to me, and it gave me another chance to grow. Opportunities, everything that happens must have its cause and effect, and it will definitely help me. He began to adjust the focus of his attention.
He found that the clothes of people who came to the West to prospect for gold were easily worn out. At the same time, he also found that there were abandoned tents everywhere in the West, so he had an excellent idea - to collect those abandoned tents and wash them clean. , and just like that, he sewed the world's first pair of jeans! From then on, he was out of control and eventually became the world-famous "Cowboy King".
Thoughts: If we only know how to say that sentence, we will become an out-and-out Ah Q; if We take that sentence as an aphorism for us to get out of depression, change our mentality in the face of failure, think and act from a different angle, and the one who succeeds may be you, me, or him!
The story of Yu Qiuyu studying while hungry
In 1946, Yu Qiuyu was born in an ordinary family in Yuyao. His father is a dedicated grassroots civil servant, while his mother is a young lady from a declining family. On the day he was born, it was raining lightly, so he was named Qiu Yu.
Yu Qiuyu spent his childhood in Qiaotou Town, Yuyao County (now part of Cixi City). Life in the countryside was simple, poor and happy. The mother from Shanghai is almost the only educated person in the village and runs a free literacy class in the village. When Yu Qiuyu was a child, she played with her mother and actually learned a lot of words.
When she was 4 years old, Yu Qiuyu put on her schoolbag and walked into a rural primary school. There is a library in the elementary school with dozens of fairy tales and folk tales, which are very tempting. But how can dozens of books satisfy hundreds of students? The teacher came up with a way to borrow a book by writing 100 calligraphy characters in calligraphy. The foundation of Yu Qiuyu's calligraphy was laid at that time. When he recalled those days, he once said: "It was with my writing in the morning and dusk that I exchanged the right to enjoy "Andersen's Fairy Tales", "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Aesop's Fables". To this day, any book I read is very satisfying. Respect, that is a habit developed since childhood."
When Yu Qiuyu was 11 years old, in order to give him a better future, his family moved to live in downtown Shanghai. Yu Qiuyu attended high school in Shanghai.
The library in the middle school is not small, but there is a long queue to borrow books every day, and the books I want to borrow are checked out nine times out of ten. Later, Yu Qiuyu asked around and finally found out that there was a place called "Shanghai Youth Palace Library" where it was more convenient to borrow books, so he immediately applied for a library card. The Youth Palace is at No. 200 Jiangxi Middle Road, close to the Bund. It was a difficult time and people did not have enough to eat every day. Yu Qiuyu had to walk for more than an hour to reach the Youth Palace after dinner, and he got hungry halfway through. When he walked to the library, it was less than an hour before it closed. It was not easy to borrow books from the Youth Palace Library, so Yu Qiuyu could only read them there. It takes less than an hour. When I find the book, I only have more than half an hour left. How many pages can I read? However, just for these few pages, a boy of thirteen or fourteen endured hunger and walked for more than an hour every day, and then walked home for more than an hour after reading it. How can we not be moved by this eager reading spirit?
It was the arduous reading time in his youth that laid a solid foundation for his future cultural journey. In Yu Qiuyu's article "The Elder", we also saw the scene of Yu Qiuyu studying vigorously when he was young. In 1975, when the world was in turmoil, 29-year-old Yu Qiuyu returned to the countryside to recuperate due to hepatitis. With the help of his mentor, Mr. Sheng Zhongjian, he was assigned to Chiang Ching-kuo's library in the mountains of Fenghua, where he concentrated on reading the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" which was difficult to find at the time. Books such as "Twenty-Four Histories" and "Four Bu Series". This is simply an intentional fulfillment from God, and it also makes Yu Qiuyu like a character in Jin Yong's works. Only the guidance of an expert is not enough, but also allows him to obtain some kind of "martial arts secrets" in a certain cave in a certain mountain. This reading has no doubt made Yu Qiuyu is important because it complements the guidance of Zhang Ke, his teacher at the Shanghai Theater Academy, forming two wings: Zhang Ke guided him to contact Western culture, but this time he walked into the vast Chinese history.
