More than three hundred years ago, architect Stowe Leian was commissioned to design the Wenzel City Hall in the UK. He used his knowledge of engineering mechanics and his many years of practice to skillfully design the ceiling of the hall supported by only one pillar. A year later, when the city government organized relevant personnel to inspect the project, they all said that it was too dangerous to support the ceiling with only one pillar and asked Leian to add a few more pillars.

Lean was confident that a strong pillar would be enough to ensure the safety of the hall. His stubbornness angered city officials and almost brought him to court. Leian was very troubled. If he insisted on his original idea, the city officials would definitely find someone else to modify the design; if he did not insist on it, this was not his code of conduct. After some thinking, Leian finally came up with a clever idea: he added four pillars in the hall, but the upper ends of these pillars were not in direct contact with the ceiling, but were disguised as a pretense.

More than three hundred years have passed, and this secret has never been discovered. It was not until a few years ago, when the city government was preparing to repair the ceiling of the hall, that Leian's "fraud" was discovered. After the news came out, architectural experts and tourists from all over the world immediately gathered here. The local government made no secret of this and deliberately opened the hall as a tourist attraction to guide people to advocate and believe in science.

As an architect, Leian may not be the best. But as a person, he is undoubtedly very successful because he always sticks to his principles and finds ways to succeed even when he encounters the greatest difficulties and resistance. During the actual struggle against hunger and civil war, he suffered from serious stomach problems, but he still signed the "Declaration of Protesting the U.S. Support for Japan and Refuse to Receive U.S. Aid Flour" and told his family not to buy allotment flour. He always maintained an upright attitude. The noble integrity and valuable sentiments of the patriotic intellectuals. On August 24, 1948, Mr. Zhu Ziqing died of severe gastric disease (gastric perforation caused by severe gastric ulcer) at the age of only 50. Before his death, Mr. Zhu Ziqing grabbed his wife Chen Zhuyin with trembling hands and said intermittently: "Remember, I signed the document rejecting US flour aid. Our family will not buy American flour from the Kuomintang in the future." Mr. Zhu Ziqing's weight had dropped to 77.6 pounds before signing. He was in urgent need of nutrition and treatment, but He still refuses this kind of charity that "buys souls", which shows the dignity and integrity of an outstanding intellectual of the Chinese nation
