During the Han Dynasty, there was a young man named Kuang Heng who was very diligent and studious.

Because his family was very poor, he had to do a lot of work during the day to make a living.

Only at night can he sit down and read peacefully

But he couldn't afford candles, so he couldn't read when it got dark.

Kuang Heng felt sorry for the wasted time and was in great pain.

His neighbor's family was very rich. At night, they would light candles in several rooms, making the house bright.

One day, Kuang Heng mustered up the courage to walk to his neighbor's door, knocked on the door and said:

I want to read at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I borrow a space in your house?

The neighbors always looked down on those who were poorer than them, so they said maliciously:If you are too poor to buy candles, why read books?

Kuang Heng was very angry after hearing this, but he was more determined to study hard.

Kuang Heng returned home and quietly chiseled a small hole in the wall, through which the candlelight from the neighbor's house came in.

With the light from the next door, Kuang Heng read all the books eagerly, but he still felt that these books were far from enough.

There is a wealthy family nearby with a large collection of books.

One day, Kuang Heng came to the door of a wealthy family with his bedding rolled up.

He said to his master:Please take me in, I will work for you without any reward, just let me read all your books.

The owner was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow the book.

Kuang Heng studied diligently.

Later, he became the prime minister of Emperor Yuan of Han and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.

Kuang Heng studied diligently and learned knowledge diligently in such a difficult environment. Since we live in such a good material environment, shouldn't we study even harder? No matter what our circumstances, we should study diligently. Knowledge is power, knowledge is the source, and it can make the world more perfect.
