Zeng Guofan's Reading Story (Folklore)
Zeng Guofan is one of the most influential figures in the history of China, but his talent was not high since he was a child.
One day when I was studying at home, I repeated an article many times and was still reading it aloud because he hadn't memorized it yet. At this time, a thief came to his house and lurked under his eaves, hoping to get some benefits after the scholar went to bed. But wait and wait, just don't see him sleeping, or read the article over and over again. The thief was furious and jumped out and said, "What books do you read at this level?" Then finish reciting the article and walk away.
The thief is very clever, at least smarter than Mr. Zeng, but he can only be a thief, and Mr. Zeng has become a respected person: "the richest man in modern times." "Diligence is a good training, and one point is hard work."
The thief has a good memory. He was brave enough to recite the article after listening to it several times. He can jump out of "great anger" when he sees others not sleeping. Teach Ceng Laoshi a lesson, so we have to endorse and walk away. But unfortunately, the name is unknown, and Mr. Zeng later used a lot of talents. It is said that the thief and Mr. Zeng have known each other for a short time and can be used for one or two things. Unfortunately, his talent was not coupled with diligence, and he became ignorant.
