A touching story about poor children studying hard.

A hole was drilled in the wall to get light from the neighbor's house.

This is about Kuang Heng, a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng, who was born in a peasant family and lived in poverty. He was eager to study since he was a child, but his parents couldn't afford his schooling or even books, so Kuang Heng had to borrow books from others.

One night, Kuang Heng wanted to read a book before going to bed, but because his family was so poor, he didn't even have lamp oil, so he couldn't read with a lamp. Just when Kuang Heng was worried, he suddenly found that the light came through the gap in the wall, which turned out to be the neighbor's lamp. Kuang Heng had a plan, so he dug a small crack into a small hole with a chisel, and then leaned against the wall with a book in his hand, reading by the faint light. From then on, Kuang Heng borrowed his neighbor's lamp every night and studied hard, finally becoming a famous scholar.

Hold your head high! Pierced his thigh!

It's about Su Qin, a native of Luoyang in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty during the Warring States Period. Su Qin is from Luoyang. Although he was born in a poor family, he has great ambitions. After years of lobbying with Guiguzi, he said goodbye to his teacher, Yi Cheung, when he saw his classmates Pang Juan and Sun Bin coming down the mountain to seek fame. Zhang Yi defected to Wei, while Su Qin traveled in other countries for several years, but achieved nothing, so he had to go home in a mess.

When Su Qin came home, his brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, younger sister and wife all laughed at him for doing nothing but gossiping. Su Qin was ashamed to hear these sarcastic words, but he always wanted to lobby the world and seek fame, so he asked his mother to sell her property and then travel around the world.

Su Qin's mother discouraged him, saying, "You don't like our local crops to support our families. Why go out and talk about wealth? " ? Isn't that to lose your real job and pursue something hopeless? If there is no livelihood in the end, don't you regret it? "Su Qin's brothers and sisters laughed at him for never changing his mind.

Su Qin knows that he has been very sorry for his family for so many years. He was ashamed and sad, and he didn't feel tears. However, Su Qin's ambition to become famous in the world remained unchanged, so he stayed at home, took out Jiang Ziya's "Yin Fu" that Master gave him when he went down the mountain, and studied at his desk day and night.

Su Qin often said to himself: "Scholars decided to take the road of seeking fame by reading. If you can't get a noble and glorious position by what you have learned, what's the use of reading more! " Thinking of this, Su Qin learned more selflessly.

In order to seize the time to study, Su Qin also came up with a good idea. When he was studying, he tied his hair with a rope and hung it on the beam. If he dozes off, his hair will wake him up. Late at night, if you feel sleepy, stab yourself in the thigh with an awl, so that you can stay awake. This is the origin of the idiom "the head hangs on the beam, and the awl pricks the stock".
