Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there are no candles at home. There are candles next door, but the light can't reach his house. Therefore, Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall to attract the light from his neighbors, so that it could be read in a book.

There is a large family in the county, which is not very literate, but it is rich and has many books. Kuang Heng went to his house as an employee, but he didn't want to be paid.

The host was surprised and asked him why. He said, "I hope to read all the books of the host family." Hearing this, the master sighed deeply, so he lent Kuang Heng a book (to help Kuang Heng read it). So Kuang Heng became a great scholar.

2. Sun Kang

Sun Kang loved studying when he was a child, and often felt that time was not enough. He wants to study day and night, but his family is poor and has no money to buy lamp oil. You can't study when it's dark. Especially in winter, when the nights are long, he sometimes toss and turn for a long time, making it difficult to sleep. There's really no choice but to read more books during the day and sleep in bed at night. He felt it a pity to let time pass in vain.

One night, when Sun Kang woke up from his sleep and turned his head to the window, he found several white lights coming in through the window. I saw a heavy snow when I opened the door.

The roof is white, the ground is white, and the trees are white. The whole earth was covered with a layer of silver, shining and dazzling. He was standing in the yard enjoying the beautiful scenery behind the snow, and suddenly his heart moved: Can you study under the snow? He hurried back to the house, took out his book and looked at the reflection of snow. Sure enough, the handwriting is clear, much brighter than the dim little oil lamp!

Sun Kang made great efforts to make progress in his studies, and finally became a prestigious scholar (ancient scholar).

3. Zu Ti and Liu Kun

Zu Ti in Jin Dynasty was an open-minded and ambitious person. But he was a naughty boy when he was a child and didn't like reading. When he entered his youth, he realized his lack of knowledge and felt that he could not serve his country without studying, so he began to study hard. He read widely and studied history carefully, from which he learned a wealth of knowledge and made great progress.

He has been in and out of Luoyang, Kyoto for many times, and people who have contacted him say that Zu Ti is a talented person who can assist the emperor in governing the country. When Zu Ti was 24 years old, he was recommended to be an official, but he didn't agree. He still studies tirelessly.

Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend Liu Kunyi became the main book of Sizhou. He and Liu Kun have deep feelings. They not only share the same bed, but also share the same lofty ideal: to make contributions, revitalize the state of Jin and become a pillar of the country.

Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the cock crow in his sleep. He kicked Liu Kun awake and said to him, "Did you hear the cock crow?" Liu Kun said, "It's unlucky to hear chickens crow in the middle of the night." Zu Ti said, "I don't think so. How about we get up and practice swords when we hear chickens crow in the future? " Liu Kun readily agreed. So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up to practice his sword, and the light of the sword flies and the sound of the sword is sonorous. Spring goes to winter, cold goes to summer, and it never stops.

Many things happen. After long and arduous study and training, they finally became generalists who can write good articles and lead troops to win the battle. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi, realizing his desire to serve the country. Liu Kun, a corps commander in the north, was in charge of the military affairs of Bing, Hebei and Youzhou, and also gave full play to his literary talent and military talents.

4. Sun Jing

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a young man named Sun Jing, who was diligent and studious. He studies behind closed doors from morning till night, with little rest. Sometimes it is easy to take a nap in the middle of the night.

In order not to affect her study, Sun Jing came up with a way. He found a rope, one end of which was tied to his hair, and the other end was tied to the beam of the house, so that when he was tired of studying and dozed off, as long as he kept his head down and the rope caught his hair and hurt his scalp, he would wake up from the pain and continue to study. Later, he finally became a famous politician.

5. Bin Sun

Sun Bin was a classmate of Pang Juan, and Pang Juan later became an official of Wei. He thought his talent was inferior to that of Sun Bin, so he secretly sent someone to invite Sun Bin to Wei to spy on him.

After Sun Bin arrived in Wei, Pang Juan fabricated charges, sentenced Sun Bin to flogging, cut off Sun Bin's feet, and tattooed his face in an attempt to bury him in the world.

Soon, an emissary from Qi came to Wei, secretly visited Sun Bin and took him back to Qi with a car. In a horse race of princes and ministers, General Tian Ji recommended resourceful Sun Bin to Qi Weiwang.

Sun Bin talked about the art of war in front of him, told what he had learned all his life, was appreciated, and was appointed as the strategist of Qi State. Later, in the battle of Ma Ling in the Qi and Wei Dynasties, Pang Juan was defeated by Sun Bin, ashamed to see the world, and committed suicide. Sun Bin is famous all over the world.
