Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there are no candles at home. There are candles next door, but the light can't reach his house. Therefore, Kuang Heng dug a hole in the wall to attract the light from his neighbors, so that it could be read in a book. There is a big family in the county, which is famous for its literary knowledge, but it is rich and has many books. Kuang Heng went to his house as an employee, but he didn't want to be paid.
The host was surprised and asked him why. He said, "I hope to read all the books of the host family." Hearing this, the master sighed deeply, so he lent Kuang Heng a book (to help Kuang Heng read it). So Kuang Heng became a great scholar.

Kuang Heng was a famous figure in Han Dynasty, and he was proficient in Confucian classics and history. He is knowledgeable, loyal to the monarch and loves the people, honest and upright, and lost all his glory when he was a child. The story of young people's hard work is legendary through the ages, and it is also the source of the word "borrowing light" in Changchuan language.
It is said that Kuang Heng used to live in Yang Xia Village in Zouxian County, and later moved to Bandit Village. When I was a child, my family was poor, and I had no money to buy lamp oil or read books. Neighbors often turn on the lights until late at night.
Then, with the consent of Yang's mother, she opened a hole in her wall and read by the light of her neighbor's house. Later, I heard that there was a rich man named Wen in the neighboring village with a large collection of books. He went to the literature house to help, and made an agreement with the literature house, asking for nothing in return, just to finish reading the book.
He worked very hard as a helper and eventually became a great scholar. Wit, respected, was promoted as a dutiful son in the village, recommended to the court as an official, and achieved outstanding achievements, and was promoted to the high position of the right prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
