When Lu Xun was studying in Nanjing Jiangnan Naval Academy, he was awarded a gold medal by the school because of his excellent examination results. He didn't wear this medal as a proof of showing off, but sold it on Gulou Street and bought back some beloved books and a bunch of red peppers.

Whenever he reads until the dead of night and it is cold and sleepy, he picks a pepper, divides it into several pieces and chews it in his mouth until his forehead sweats and tears come to his eyes, and his mouth makes a "hum" sound. Suddenly, his whole body warmed up and his drowsiness disappeared, so he picked up a book to study.

Huang Kan mistook ink for a side dish.

19 15, a famous scholar Huang Kan gave a lecture on Chinese studies in Peking University. He lives in Datong apartment in Baimiao Hutong, Beijing. He devoted himself to studying "Chinese studies" all day. Sometimes he doesn't go out to eat. He prepared steamed bread, peppers, soy sauce and other condiments and put them on his desk. Eat steamed bread when you are hungry, watch it while eating, and don't eat it. When he saw the beautiful scenery, he shouted, "Great!"

Once, I was fascinated by reading, so I put the steamed bread in the inkstone cinnabar box. After eating for a long time, I painted a red face and didn't notice it. A friend came to visit and smiled. What else does he know to laugh at him?

3. Cao took a vacation to take a bath in the study.

During the Anti-Japanese War, Cao Yu taught at Jiang 'an National Theatre in Sichuan. One summer, Cao Yu's family had prepared a bathtub and hot water for him to take a bath. Cao Yu was reading a book at this time, and he couldn't put it down. He pushed again and again. Finally, under the repeated urging of his family, he walked into the back room with a towel in one hand and a book in the other.

An hour passed and no one came out. There was a faint sound of running water from time to time in the room. After another hour, the situation is still the same. Cao Yu's family was puzzled. They opened the door and saw Cao Yu sitting in the bathtub, reading a book in one hand and patting the water intentionally or unintentionally with a towel in the other.

4. Dig the wall and steal the light

Kuang Heng, whose real name is Gui Zhi, was born in the East China Sea in the Western Han Dynasty (the name of Han County, east of Pixian County in Jiangsu Province and east of Ziyang County in Lianshan East Province). He was born in a peasant family, and his grandfather and father were farmers for generations. To Kuang Heng, but I like reading. When he was young, his family was poor. He makes a living as an employee during the day and only has time to study at night.

But the family is too poor to light candles. The lights and candles next door are on, but they can't shine. Kuang Heng came up with an idea. He chiseled a hole in the wall next door and "stole" a little light from it to let the light from next door shine in. He is reading with a book in his hand, reflecting the light in front of the hole.

Li Bai was very playful when he was a child and often played truant. Once, he ran out of school and went to play by the river. He saw an old woman grinding an iron bar on a stone. Li Bai was surprised and asked her why she was grinding an iron bar.

The old woman said, "I am grinding the needle." Li Bai asked again, "When can such a thick iron bar be ground into a needle?"

From then on, he studied hard and studied hard, and finally became a great poet.

7. Reading on a snowy night

Sun Kang loved studying when he was a child, and often felt that time was not enough. He wants to study day and night, but his family is poor and has no money to buy lamp oil. You can't study when it's dark.

One night, when he woke up, he suddenly found some white light coming in from the window. I saw a heavy snow when I opened the door. His heart suddenly moved: can you study under the snow light? He hurried back to the house, took out his book and looked at the reflection of snow. Sure enough, his handwriting is clear. Since then, he has been studying day and night, neither afraid of cold nor tired. He often reads until the cock crows. Sun Kang made great efforts and made great academic achievements, and finally became a very prestigious scholar.
