◎Lu Xun chewed chili peppers to ward off the cold. Mr. Lu Xun studied hard since he was a child. When he was a boy, he studied at the Jiangnan Naval Academy. He had excellent grades in the first semester and was awarded a gold medal by the school. He immediately took them to the streets of Nanjing's Drum Tower to sell them, then bought a few books and a bunch of red peppers. Whenever it was cold at night and he couldn't bear to read at night, he would pick off a chili pepper, put it in his mouth and chew it, which made him sweat on his forehead. He used this method to keep away the cold and insist on studying. As a result of studying hard, he finally became a famous litterateur in our country. ◎Wang Yanan studied hard and became a talent. Wang Yanan slept on a three-legged bed. When Wang Yanan was a child, he had great ambitions and loved reading. When he was in middle school, in order to gain more time to study, he cut off one leg of the wooden bed he slept on by half a foot to make it a three-legged bed. He read late at night every day. When he was tired, he went to bed and took a nap. Then he turned over in a daze and the bed tilted towards the short leg. He was suddenly awakened, and immediately got out of bed and sat down at his desk to read at night. This happens every day, without interruption. As a result, he achieved excellent results every year and was known as one of the three heroes in his class. Because he studied diligently when he was young, he finally became an outstanding economist in our country. ◎Su Dongpo, one of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, thought he had no more books to read when he was young, so he wrote a couplet: "Know all the characters in the world; read all the books in the world." Later, after an old man pointed out, he changed it to: "Work hard. Know all the words in the world; be determined to read all the books in the world." ◎Guo Moruo once wrote a reading couplet: "If you don't read at midnight, you will be exposed to the cold." This means that reading requires daily effort. You can’t just work overtime to achieve excellence on a whim. If you want to succeed, you must persevere and persevere. You must not be diligent sometimes and slack off sometimes, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. ◎Hua Luogeng summarized the reading process into two stages: "from thick to thin" and "from thin to thick". When you truly have a thorough understanding of the content of the book, grasp the main points of the book, and master the spiritual essence of the book, reading will change from thick to thin. The more thoroughly you understand, the thinner it will feel. If during the reading process, you conduct an in-depth discussion of each chapter, add annotations and supplement reference materials on each page, then the book will become thicker and thicker as you read it. Therefore, reading is a two-way process from thick to thin, and from thin to thick. Hou Baolin, the master of copying books and cross talk language, only went to elementary school for three years. Because of his diligence and studious, his artistic level reached the level of proficiency and he became Famous language expert. Once, in order to buy a Ming Dynasty joke book "Jian Lang" that he wanted to buy, he visited all the used bookstalls in Beijing but failed. Later, he learned that the Beijing Library had this book and decided to copy it back. It was winter, and he braved the strong wind and heavy snow and ran to the library for eighteen days to copy books. Finally, he copied a book with more than 100,000 words. Zhang Guanghou eats books Mathematician Zhang Guanghou once saw a paper on loss value and thought it was useful for his research work, so he read it over and over again. This paper lasted more than 20 pages, and he read it over and over again for more than half a year. Because of repeated flipping, an obvious black mark was left on the white pages. His wife joked to him that this was not studying, it was just eating books. Gorky saves books. Gorky, the world's literary giant, has a deep affection for books and loves books as much as his life. Once, there was a fire in his room. The first thing he picked up were books, and he didn't consider anything else. He was almost burned to death trying to save the books. He said: "On the one hand, books enlighten my wisdom and soul, and on the other hand, they help me stand up in a muddy pond. If it were not for books, I would sink in this muddy pond, and I would be drowned by stupidity and obscenity."
