When he got up and looked, it turned out that the wall was cracked, and the neighbor's candlelight shone through the crack. After watching it, Kuang Heng immediately came up with a way. He found a chisel and made a small hole in the crack in the wall. Immediately, a candlelight came over, and Kuang Heng read the book seriously according to this candlelight. Every night from now on, Kuang Heng would lean against the wall and read by the neighbor's candlelight. Because he was diligent and studious since childhood, Kuang Heng later became a knowledgeable Confucian scholar.
