Breaking through the wall to steal light originally meant that Kuang Heng in the Western Han Dynasty cut through the wall to attract his neighbors to study by candlelight. Later, it was used to describe being poor and studying hard. Next, I will share Kuang Heng's classical Chinese and its translation.

Kuang Heng studied hard without a candle, but his neighbor didn't catch a candle, so he crossed the wall to draw its light and read it with a book reflecting its light. The city people's surname is illiterate, and the family is rich and has many books. Therefore, Heng is working with him instead of claiming compensation. The master was surprised, asked Heng, and Heng said, "May the master read all the books." The host sighed, gave books, and became a university. Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there are no candles at home. There was a candle next door, but the light couldn't reach his house. So Kuang Heng cut a hole in the wall to attract the light from his neighbor and let it shine on the book to read.

There is a large family in the county who can't read very well, but the family 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 my host family." Hearing this, the master sighed deeply, so he lent Kuang Heng a book (to help Kuang Heng with the book). So Kuang Heng became a generation of great scholars. Introduction to Kuang Heng
