Former American President Lincoln was born in a poor family, and his father was a shoemaker. Because of the poor family environment and forced livelihood, his father couldn't afford his education, and he didn't even graduate from the first grade.

Working with my father in the western wasteland every day. Lincoln studied hard since he was a child and asked others for advice whenever he had the chance. Because he has no money to buy books, he runs around every day and borrows books from wealthy families.

He always holds a book in his arms when herding cattle, chopping wood and digging the ground. During the break, he ate hard and cold bread and read with relish. I often read until late at night and refuse to sleep.

Lincoln kept reading and absorbing the essence of the book, and eventually became the sixteenth president of the United States, which was deeply loved and respected by people.
