1. Su Qin, who hangs his head and stabs his buttocks:

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, also named Ji Zi, who was a famous politician at that time. When he was young, he and Zhang Yi studied the art of war under Gui Guzi. After completing his studies, he went to various countries to lobby, but he always got nothing. He made up his mind and studied hard. From then on, he stayed behind closed doors and immersed himself in studying, often studying until late at night. Sometimes he was so tired that he dozed off and wanted to sleep.

He prepared an awl, and as soon as he dozed off, he used the awl to prick his thigh. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, so I woke up and continued reading. After several years of hard study, I mastered a wealth of knowledge, went to lobby again, and finally became a high-profile political strategist.

2. Kuang Heng, who cut through walls to steal light

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a great scholar in Donghai County named Kuang Heng. He read a lot of books and was very knowledgeable. But his success is not because he is a genius, but because of his persistence and diligence. A small hole was dug in the wall. When the neighbor's house was lighting the lamp, the candlelight came through the small hole. He used the light that came through to read a book. Therefore, Kuang Heng cherishes the rare opportunity to study.

Che Yin, whose courtesy name was Wuzi, was from Nanping, Jin Dynasty (today's Anxiang and Jinshi area). Che Yin has been eager to learn since he was a child, but because his family is poor, he has no money to buy lamp oil to study at night. I caught dozens of fireflies and put them inside, and when I put them in the house, it turned out to be a lot brighter. Che Yin studied hard in this way, and finally became a very learned man. He served as the governor of Wuxing, the general of the auxiliary state, and the minister of the Ministry of household affairs.
