Interesting stories of celebrity childhood

Washington cut down trees

Washington was the first president of the United States. When he was young, he cut down his father's two cherry trees. His father came back and was very angry. He thought to himself, "If I find out who cut down my tree, I will give him a good beating." His father asked everywhere. When he asked his son, Washington began to cry. "I cut down your tree!" Washington confessed. The father picked up his son and said, "I am a clever boy." I would rather lose a hundred trees than listen to your lies. "

Lenin is still a child.

Lenin was a child who studied hard when he was a child. Lenin did well in every subject at school. The teacher gave a lecture and he listened carefully. He did the homework left by the teacher carefully. Lenin finished his studies and read many extracurricular books. He often tells stories in books to others. He loves the hardworking and brave people in the book and follows their example. Lenin took great care of books. He never gets his books dirty or litters them. This is how Lenin studied when he was a child.

Turgenev and His Childhood Life

Turgenev (18 18- 1883) occupies an important position in Russian realistic literature in the19th century. He wrote poetry in his early years, and wrote plays, essays and other genres in his 40 s and 50 s. He completed many excellent novels, novellas and short stories in his life. He is good at observing new thoughts in social life, caring about major social issues and striving for the truth of life. In his nearly half-century creative career, through a series of works, he keenly reflected a series of important events in the development of Russian liberation movement and social thought. His achievements in art are outstanding. For example, he has made his own contributions to the expression of characters' inner feelings, the description of natural scenery, the structure of novels and the development of Russian literary language, which has promoted the development of Russian and even world literary circles. He is one of the representative writers of Russian realistic generalized literature. Ivan sergeevich turgeneve was born on 18 18 1 1 9/month in L 'Oré al province in central Russia. He spent his childhood in his mother's manor, Koye-Lutovino Hot Springs. Some of his works were also completed here. The beautiful natural scenery of oriole province had a far-reaching influence on Turgenev and promoted the growth of his outstanding talent in describing natural scenery. Turgenev's mother, varvara Petrovna Tourgenev, was a very headstrong and bossy landlady, and the prejudice and bad habits of the nobles were very prominent in her. She is cruel and often punishes servants. Sometimes, because of a small mistake, she does not exile serfs to Siberia. Varvara Petrovna's temperament is also reflected in his attitude towards his son. She thinks that children can't succeed without struggle. Turgenev later recalled: "When I was growing up, hitting people, screwing people, hitting them, slapping them in the face and so on became commonplace." The cruelty of serf owners was intolerable to Turgenev. Turgenev hated the atrocities of serf owners in his childhood.

A "moron" who likes to ask strange questions

The physicist Einstein (1879— 1955) was born in Germany. 1900 graduated from Zurich University of Technology and became a Swiss citizen. 1940 became an American citizen. He has made great contributions in many fields of physics, the most important of which is the establishment of special relativity and its extension to general relativity. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 192 1 for his contribution to physics, especially the discovery of the law of photoelectric effect. Einstein was one of the greatest scientific giants in the 20th century. The concept and method of relativity he founded had a far-reaching impact on the development of theoretical physics, and even had the great significance of "changing the world". So how did such a giant of science spend his childhood? 1882, Einstein came to this world for three years, but he was not as naive and lively as other children, who loved to talk and laugh. He always likes to sit quietly in the living room, cocked his head and listened carefully to the beautiful and moving music flowing from his mother's fingers. Mother looked at him intently and said with a happy smile, "Look at your serious appearance, just like a professor! Hey, my little baby, why don't you talk? " Einstein moved his lips and didn't answer his mother's question, but his sparkling eyes kept blinking, revealing the light of happiness. His heart has realized the beauty and fluency of music, but he can't say it. Einstein's father likes outing and often takes his whole family to the wild happily. Little Einstein likes this activity very much. Beautiful lakes and mountains, towering trees, singing pine trees and golden sunshine all intoxicated him. However, he doesn't like to talk and can't express himself in words. And his sister is like a lark, singing and laughing all the way. The children in the neighborhood often play games together, and the little ones sing, jump and scream heartily together, but there is no Einstein in it. He likes to sit quietly in the corner of the living room and play with building blocks for a long time, and then sit quietly and admire his masterpieces. In this way, little Einstein is four or five years old and still can't speak. At this time, his parents were a little worried: "Is he an imbecile or a fool?" His parents called a doctor for him at once, but nothing was wrong. In the eyes of ordinary people, Einstein Jr. is not a clever boy, on the one hand, because he can't speak well, on the other hand, because he always asks some strange questions, which makes people feel a little silly, and adults even doubt whether his IQ is disabled. People can't understand that the seemingly ridiculous and ignorant questions raised by this young child originally came from a strong thirst for knowledge in the unknown world. Einstein's little brain, which is mistaken for mediocrity and low energy, is full of incomprehension and almost restless in this strange world. One day when Einstein was four or five years old, his father gave him a small toy-a compass. Little Einstein, who was curious about new things, was in high spirits and immediately put it down. There is a compass needle in the middle, the tip of which is painted red, trembling and always stubbornly pointing to the north. Einstein carefully turned the plate, trying to secretly change the direction of the pointer, but no matter how he turned it, the pointer didn't listen to the command, and the red end still pointed firmly to the north. Little Einstein was in a hurry and suddenly turned from north to south, thinking, "Is this compass going to follow me all the time?" But when he looked intently, he was surprised: the red end still pointed to the north! "That's strange ..." Einstein muttered at a loss. "Why on earth is this?" He wanted to ask his father, but he had a brainwave and immediately replied, "Yes, there must be something pushing it next to this needle, so it can keep one direction forever." So he studied the compass again and again, trying to find something mysterious around the pointer. But to his great disappointment, he found nothing. The mystery of childhood is deeply engraved in his memory. Perhaps Einstein's in-depth study of electromagnetic fields in the future was inspired by the mysterious little toy compass in his childhood. Einstein's childhood was reserved and he didn't like to talk. Now that he has an interesting companion, the compass, he has been in a daze all day, and his parents think that he is really ill this time. This childhood story about the compass left a deep impression on Einstein, and even after many years, he often recalled it with relish. At school age, compared with children of the same age, little Einstein still looks very slow and slow. In class, his academic performance is very poor. Every time the teacher asks him to recite the text, he can't read a word. The students laughed at him privately and thought he was a "poor underachiever". Einstein began his study career in this way. Although he is stupid, he is kind and pious, and his classmates call him an honest man. At the age of six, Einstein became fascinated with music and began to learn the violin. The beautiful music played by the violin brought him into a wonderful realm, and the music once fascinated him. But when practicing the violin, it is boring to mechanically repeat the bow-pulling fingering. In this way, Einstein's primary school life began in dullness and ended in dullness. At this time, compared with his peers, Einstein was not too long, but a little clumsy. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, Einstein left primary school and became a middle school student. At this time, German militarism was rampant everywhere like a scourge. Schools are no exception. Those teachers crammed Greek and Latin into students' minds like soldiers, and students' duty was to recite, recite and recite all day. Tired of this way of learning, little Einstein intentionally or unintentionally shifted his interest to teaching himself mathematics, which became his greatest hobby in middle school. Einstein's uncle is an engineer and likes math very much. On one occasion, he drew a right triangle on the paper, and wrote that AB2+BC2=AD2. Einstein said mysteriously, "This is the famous Pythagorean theorem, which was proved by people more than 2,000 years ago. Come and have a try. " Einstein, 12 years old, didn't know what geometry was yet, but he was fascinated by this theorem and decided to give it a try. He struggled for several weeks to find a way to prove it, and on the last day of the third week, he proved it. The first time he realized the joy of creation, his creativity sprouted. With the growth of age, Einstein's vision gradually broadened, and the things that interested him became more and more complicated. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, Einstein got a hardcover geometry textbook. He opened the book with excitement, mystery and a trace of fear and awe. From the first page of Euclid's theorem, he became fascinated as he read it. He even read it in one breath and was deeply impressed by the accuracy, clarity and rigor of geometric theorems. For some theorems, he pondered and pondered repeatedly, and sometimes tried to put aside the existing argumentation methods and find another way to prove them again. Einstein was always ecstatic, and he deeply realized the great joy of discovering the truth for the first time. Einstein's curiosity was further developed in his childhood, and his self-confidence was gradually enhanced. Soon, he taught himself advanced mathematics, and the teachers in middle school were no match for him. While his classmates were still trekking in congruent triangles, Einstein Jr. had roamed the world of calculus. Einstein made outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics, but little Einstein was not interested in other subjects and his grades were poor. Many teachers don't like his learning attitude and scold him many times. Once, Einstein's father asked the dean of the school what his son could do in the future. The teacher bluntly said, "It doesn't matter what you do, your son will accomplish nothing." The teacher had a deep prejudice against little Einstein, thinking that he was a rotten piece of wood with no carving value, and ordered him to drop out of school. In this way, Einstein dropped out of school at the age of 15 and didn't even get his diploma. Einstein developed a good habit of reading and thinking from an early age. Once, he was fascinated by the popular science reading "Popular Science Physics Series" and took it with him everywhere. It is this book that not only broke Einstein's superstition of religious authority, but also made him set up his great ambition to explore the mysteries of nature. At the young Einstein's side, he always carries a small notebook to write down the spark of inspiration at any time. At the age of 16, another challenging question occupied his mind: what would happen if some kind of light receiver, such as human eyes or cameras, followed the light and flew at the speed of light? He caught the problem and wrote it down in his notebook. But where to find the right answer? He was confused and set himself a new problem and challenge. It was this difficult problem that made Einstein think day and night, which gave birth to the magical bud of future relativity. Perhaps, this can be regarded as Einstein Jr.' s first brave attack on the science fortress. Little Einstein's brilliant achievements in the future are inseparable from his family. He grew up in a carefree family environment, and his parents were very tolerant of him. The role of parents in his growth path is to protect his temperament and character from adverse factors. When Einstein's "genius" was all thumbs, his mother was very anxious and worried that her children would accomplish nothing in the future, while his father said, "Don't worry, children just can't adapt to the rules of the school and the mechanical teaching in the school. When he grows up and knows everything around him, he can adapt smoothly. " His parents did not regard him as a "mentally retarded child", nor did they punish him for being expelled from school for his poor homework. On the contrary, they gave him a very relaxed environment to help him grow and develop. 1In the autumn of 895, 16-year-old Einstein left his relatives and boarded the train to Zurich alone, starting a new milestone in his life.

Bill Gates Jr.' s "Computer Dream"

Bill Gates (C? ) I have been a "computer geek" since I was a child. He was born on 19551October 28th in Seattle, Washington. He was cheerful and lively when he was a child, and he was an energetic child. Whenever, he swings back and forth in the cradle. When I grow up, I will spend a lot of time riding horses. Later, he brought this swaying habit to adulthood, to Microsoft, and shocked the whole world. Bill Gates loved math and computers in middle school. Paul allen is his best alumnus. They often play three consecutive games of chess on the computer of Hubin Middle School. The computer at that time was a PDP8 minicomputer. Students can play games on some connected terminals through paper tape typewriters, and they can also write some small software, such as seat arrangement. Bill Gates Jr. plays with ease. 1972 One summer, Paul, who is three years older than him, brought a magazine "Electronics", pointing to an article with only a natural paragraph of 10, and told Bill that a newly established company named Intel had introduced a microprocessor chip (XΟ N) called 8008. They quickly got the chip and fiddled with a machine that can analyze the information on the city traffic monitor, so they wanted to set up a company called "Traffic Data Company". 1973, Bill went to Harvard University, and Paul got a job as a programmer in a computer company named Sweet Well in Boston. The two partners often meet to discuss computers. Just as Apple inspired Newton, the personal computer broke into Bill's mind with an external enlightener. This is 1975 magazine "Popular Electronics". The picture of Altair8080 computer on the cover suddenly ignited Bill Gates' computer dream. He and his good friend Paul worked around the clock in the Akon Computer Center of Harvard for eight weeks to make it match the Basic language, which opened up a new road for the pc software industry and laid the foundation for the standardized production of software. Today, Microsoft has become an "empire" in the industry, which has something to do with Bill Gates' childhood "computer dream".

Confucius riddles.

There is a sentence in the San Zi Jing: "Once upon a time, Zhongni studied under Xiang Tuo." Everyone knows that Zhong Ni is Confucius. Who is this "Xiang Tuo"? According to the author's introduction, Xiang Tuo is a teenager in Yan State. One day, Xiang Tuo met Confucius and said, "I heard that Confucius is very knowledgeable, so I came to ask for advice." Confucius smiled and said, "Go ahead-"Xiang Tuo bowed his hand to Confucius and said, "What water has no fish? What fire has no smoke? What tree has no leaves? What flower has no branches? " Confucius said, "That's a strange question you asked. There are fish in all rivers, lakes and oceans. No matter what firewood, lamp, candle, any fire has smoke; As for plants, trees cannot be formed without leaves; It is difficult to blossom without branches. " Xiang Tuo giggled and shook his head and said, "No, there are no fish in well water, no smoke in fireflies, no leaves in dead trees and no branches in snowflakes." From the above "Confucius conjecture", we should have two inspirations: first, knowledge is infinite; The second is to be good at observation, analysis and accumulation. If you just sit with existing knowledge and don't learn, you will be eliminated by society. Why else would Confucius be defeated by a teenager?

Don't eat bread for reading.

Before the bookstore opened, a skinny child was already waiting at the bookstore gate. He has a thick head of hair and a pair of big eyes shining with wisdom. His pale face shows malnutrition. He was shivering in the cold wind in thin clothes. There is a row of steps in front of the bookstore. In order to increase the heat, he jumped down the steps and jumped up step by step. Slowly, he felt a little warm. Passers-by looked at the child strangely when they saw him jumping on the steps. The little boy's name is Heinrich B?ll. He is the eighth child of Boer carpenter's family in a small town. He is a frequent visitor to this bookstore. Every day after school, he runs to the bookstore. On holidays, after finishing the work assigned by his father, he spent almost the whole day in the bookstore. But he just looks at it and doesn't buy it. All the clerks in the bookstore know him. They know that his family is poor and can't afford books, and they never stop him from swimming in the ocean of books. When the new book comes, the bookstore clerk will introduce it to him. Finally, the door opened, and Little Burr walked into the bookstore first. He politely said hello to the assistant aunt in the bookstore. Aunt asked him enthusiastically, "Little Burr, what book do you want to read today?" "I haven't finished reading Grimm's fairy tales." Little burr went to the front of the bookshelf, picked up the book Grimm's Fairy Tales and looked through it eagerly. Small burr eyes shine, tightly staring at the book, watching with rapt attention. He was completely immersed in the story. The funny life of the seven dwarfs in Snow White made him laugh softly. He thought to himself: The seven dwarfs feed themselves by their own labor, never go hungry, and no one bullies them. I wish I were like them! He saw the seven dwarfs save Snow White and was deeply moved by their kind behavior. His eyes were wet, and he hurriedly wiped away the tears that were about to flow out with his hand for fear of being seen by others. Little burr was fascinated by the book and forgot the time, but his stomach didn't forget the time. At this time, he cried "goo goo". Little Burr remembers that his father asked him to send a statue to the church after lunch. He reluctantly put down his book and ran home. Little Boer's father is a carpenter, who specializes in carving some handicrafts for the local church. Every day, my father asked Little Boer to send a statue to the church, and then brought the money back for the family to eat. Every time, my father left some change for Little Burr so that he could buy bread on his way to school the next day. Uncle cherishes his poor money very much. He buys the smallest loaf of bread to eat every day, carefully puts the saved money into the tin can, and then hides the tin can in a place where others don't know. After little burr decided to save enough money, he went to buy his favorite book. However, this plan of Little Burr had to be changed. At school on Monday, the teacher announced that in order to broaden students' horizons and read more extracurricular books, he would carry out an activity among students, asking each student to take out several extracurricular books and exchange reading. Little burr is in a hurry. He doesn't even have an extracurricular book of his own. At that time, all students had books to hand in, but he didn't. That's a real pity. But the money he saved in the tin can is not enough to buy a book. What shall we do? You can't ask Dad for money. Dad works from morning till night every day, earning only enough money for a family of 10 people. It is impossible to have extra money to buy books for him. If he can save a little more money every day, he can buy a book soon. If all the money is saved, he can buy a book in two or three days. Yes, why not save all the money for bread, so that a brand-new book will be his in two or three days. The thought that he will have a new book of his own in a few days makes little burr excited. In the afternoon, after the delivery, dad gave him some change. He took out the small tin can, put the money in one by one and hid it carefully. At night, he lies in bed, silently calculating how much money he has and how much money he needs to buy a book. Slowly, he fell asleep. He had a beautiful dream: in the dream, he had many new books. He looked at this for a while and touched that for a while. He doesn't know which one to read. In his dream, he thought, How can I read so many books? Let those who have no books come here to read. So many children came to him to read books. The children were holding new books, and everyone was laughing happily ... When they woke up the next morning, Xiao Bo looked around the room: "Where is my book? Where is my book? " The room is empty and there are no new books. Only then did he know that he had a good dream. He thought, one day, I will have so many books in my dream. On his way to school, he passed the bakery again. The smell of bread and butter came straight to the nose, and he swallowed hard. The teacher in the bakery saw him coming and greeted him kindly: "Little Burr, what kind of bread do you want to eat today? I have cream bread, ham bread and new grape sandwich bread here. " Little burr really wants to eat a delicious bread, but his favorite new book is waving to him. He hurriedly told a lie: "thank you, I have already eaten." Say that finish, he began to run. He wants to leave here quickly and escape the great temptation brought by the fragrance. The teacher is talking about math problems on the podium, but Xiao Bo's stomach is singing "Empty City Plan". I didn't eat bread in the morning, and now my stomach is empty. Little burr said to himself, "belly, stop screaming." I want to buy a new book. " I'll feed you when I buy a new book. "After three days of persistence, he finally saved enough money to buy new books. He emptied the money out of the tin can and counted it carefully over and over again. " Enough to buy a new book. "He said to himself. He put the money back in the tin can and walked to the bookstore with the small tin can in his arms. When he came to the bookstore, he said loudly to the clerk in the bookstore, "Aunt, I want to buy a new book. The clerk looked at him strangely and said, "Son, do you have that much money?" "Yes, aunt. Look at that. "As he spoke, he held the small tin can high and shook it, and the coins in the tin can made a crisp sound." Where did you get so much money? "The clerk asked him suspiciously." What about the bread money I saved? "The clerk sighed and said," Poor boy. " Say that finish, she went to the front of the bookshelf and took out little burr's favorite grimm's fairy tale. Bought a new book, little burr don't mention how happy. He held the new book tightly to his chest for fear that it would run away and skipped all the way home. When he got home, he found a piece of brown paper and carefully packed his schoolbag. He put the new book under his nose and smelled the ink in the pages for a long time. "This book is mine. I have a new book. "He muttered something doubtfully. In the evening, he put the new book under his pillow and fell asleep beautifully. When he grew up, little Bohr, who loves books, finally became a book writer and won the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Lu Xun in childhood

When Lu Xun was a child, he often lived with his mother at his grandmother's house in Anqiaotou, Shaoxing, and later at his uncle's house in Huangfuzhuang. Anqiaotou and Huangfuzhuang are both in the water town outside Chang 'an Gate in Shaoxing, and the wide and narrow rivers flow quietly through the village. Lu Xun likes to go to the countryside. He regards it as a free world, a brand-new world. Because here, you can not only avoid reading the profound Four Books and Five Classics, but also live freely with farmers' children, boating, catching fish and shrimps on the cobweb-covered river, enjoying the night view of the water with a little fishing fire, or going to the shore to put geese, herd cattle and pick arhat beans and breathe fresh air ... Whenever there is a social drama in the village, Lu Xun and Mix. Sometimes, he also learns acting and plays imp with the children of farmers. They drew some colorful pictures on their faces, jumped onto the stage with steel forks in their hands and played happily. The countryside was very attractive to Lu Xun as a teenager. In this free world, Lu Xun not only learned a lot of social knowledge and production knowledge, but also established a deep friendship with the children of peasant families, gradually understood the industrious and simple character of peasants, and also saw the bloody facts of oppression and class exploitation in the old society. In a fishing song often recited by Lu Xun and farmers' children, there is such a solemn and stirring sentence: "Seven liters a day, eight liters a day, and if you don't fall for two days (you don't go fishing in the river for two days), you are white with hunger; Seven liters a day, eight liters a day, and if you don't fall for two days, you will cry. " These have had a far-reaching impact on the development of Lu Xun's thought, making Lu Xun know that farmers are "oppressed all their lives and suffer a lot, which is different from flowers and birds."

Madame Curie's childhood story

A few decades ago, there was a little girl named Manya in Poland. She was very absorbed in her studies. No amount of noise around can distract her. Once, Manya was doing her homework, and her sister and classmates sang, danced and played games in front of her. Manya didn't seem to see it, so she was absorbed in reading. My sister and classmates want to test her. They quietly set up some stools behind Manya, and whenever Manya moved, the stools would fall down. As time went by, Manya finished reading a book and the stool was still standing there. Since then, my sister and classmates have never made fun of her, and like Manya, they concentrate on reading and study hard. Manya became a great scientist when she grew up. She is Madame Curie.

Van Gogh's childhood

Van Gogh walked past the children without saying a word. He walked out of the garden gate, across the field and along the grass path. He was going to the stream, and the children saw it from the glass bottle and fishing net he carried with him. But no one dared to ask behind him, "Brother, can I go with you?" However, they know very well how clever he is to catch insects in the water. When he comes back, he always shows them all kinds of beetles: they have shiny brown shells, big round eyes, and bent legs stretch nervously after coming out of the water ... The children talk about him with respect, without any ridicule, but dare not ask to go to the fresh and cool stream, where the most beautiful forget-me-not and rose-colored water lilies are open, with their hands in the sparkling white sand, without any dust. Children instinctively feel that their brother likes to be alone. If the boarding school his father sent him to has a holiday, he is not looking for companionship, but loneliness. He knows where the most precious flowers grow. He avoided villages with neat huts and straight streets and found his way through hills and valleys. Every time, he can always find amazing things and catch a glimpse of rare animals and birds in natural habitats. For birds, he knows where they nest or live. If he sees a pair of larks falling in the wheat field, he knows how to get close to them without breaking the surrounding leaves. At that time, he left no sketches of pens or pencils. Future painters didn't want to paint at that time, but meditated. When he was a little boy, he was curious to check the figurine made of clay by a sculptor's assistant. At the age of eight, he drew a picture: in the winter garden, a cat flew wildly on the bare apple tree. This surprised my mother. The natural expression of the child's artistic sense is so amazing that she can't believe it is true. It took a long time for this matter to be mentioned by parents.
