Celebrity reading story 1 Fan Zhongyan, a great writer in Song Dynasty, lost his father since childhood. In order to keep herself and her son alive, the mother had to remarry to Zhujiajian Island's home in Changshan.
When Fan Zhongyan grew up as a teenager, he realized that this father was not his own. Xiao Zhongyan felt that he was a seven-foot man and it was shameful to change someone else's surname. He said that he would restore the original "Fan" surname, so there was a contradiction with health care. He came out from home and lived in a monk's room on Liquan Temple Hill. He has been studying hard day and night and persevering.
Life in the temple is very hard. Fan Zhongyan, who is only a teenager, is growing up and eating a lot. Every time he eats, he picks up the bowl and only peels off a few mouthfuls. Before the next meal, he is so hungry that he can't concentrate on reading. Thinking about what we should do, he came up with a way to cook a pot of porridge every morning. When the porridge cools and condenses into porridge, he cuts it with a knife, cuts it into four pieces, and eats two pieces for breakfast and dinner. As for the next meal, it's even simpler. Just cut some pickles.
During his stay in Liquan Temple, Fan Zhongyan read a lot of books, learned a lot of truth and learned a lot. In order to broaden his horizons and increase his knowledge, three years later, he came to Yingtianfu (now Shangqiu, Henan Province), a famous academy at that time, not far from Wan Li, and worshipped Wei as a teacher. At first, he had gruel to eat every morning and evening, just like when he was in Liquan Temple. Later, even gruel could not be supplied. Whenever the sun goes down, he just eats something casually, which is a day's meal. However, he has never been distracted by the problem of eating, but he is working harder and harder in his studies. He made a strict study plan for himself, and he didn't sleep until he finished it every day. On a cold winter night, whenever he feels tired from studying, he washes his face with cold water to boost his spirits. Although the learning environment is so hard, Fan Zhongyan has never complained about suffering.
It is with such a firm belief that Fan Zhongyan studied hard every day and became a famous politician, strategist and writer in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty.

There were kerosene lamps in the countryside at that time, but there were no lampshades. There is only one lamp, which is inserted in a tin pipe sleeve and lit with kerosene in a bottle. This kind of lamp has a red flame and black and smelly soot; Its sparks are flickering. If the time is longer, it will leave a layer of black on people's nostrils and teeth, and their heads will hurt and their eyes will be tired. The father was afraid that his son would smoke, so he specially cleaned the oil lamp for the child.
The advantages of clear oil lamps are much stronger than kerosene lamps. The light is clear, smokeless and odorless. In the evening, Li Siguang sat at a table. Instead of opening his schoolbag, he looked at the wick in the oil lamp first. Mother put two wicks in it, and Li Siguang gently took one with a dial lamp, leaving only one.
"Just light two wicks, son." Mother said lovingly, "Your father took care of this."
"That's not what I mean, mom. I can learn twice as long by lighting a wick. " Li Siguang said.
Mom will not be forced again. Li Siguang read and wrote silently until the oil in the lamp ran out, and no one bothered anyone. Mother sat at their table and shook the spinning wheel with the light from the wick. Spinning some yarn at night can also get some change to buy some matches, oil and salt, and also buy some pen, ink and paper to show the children.

Every time he borrows a book, he tells others the date of returning it, returns it on time, and never breaks the contract. People are happy to lend them to him.
Once, he borrowed a book, and the more he read it, the more he couldn't put it down, so he decided to copy it. But the deadline for returning the book is coming. He had to copy books overnight. It's the middle of winter and the twelfth month, dripping into ice. His mother said, "Son, it's midnight. It's cold. Copy it at dawn. People are not waiting for this book to read. " Song Lian said, "No matter how many people are waiting to read this book, it must be returned before the deadline. This is a question of credit and a sign of respect for others.

Celebrity reading story 5 Sun Jing of Han Dynasty is diligent and studious. He gets up early every morning and studies late into the night. Because of fatigue and drowsiness, I often doze off unconsciously. Sun Jing hung one end of the rope on the beam and tied his hair at the other end. In this way, when you take a nap, your scalp will hurt. Later, Sun Jing finally became a master of Confucianism.
During the Warring States Period, Su Qin failed in lobbying Qin, and his family ignored Sun Jing, so he became angry from embarrassment and taught himself to become useful. Whenever I doze off, I stab my thigh with an awl until I bleed profusely. Later, Sun Jing became a famous scholar.
Later generations combined their deeds and used "hanging the beam and stabbing the stock" to describe hard work.
Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there is no candle lighting at home.

The host was surprised and asked him why. He said, "I hope I can get your book and read it through." Hearing this, the master sighed deeply and lent him the book. Therefore, Kuang Heng became a great scholar.

At that time, there was a man named Che Yin who, like Sun Kang, had no money to buy lamp oil. On summer nights, he caught many fireflies, put them in gauze bags, and studied them day and night with fluorescent lamps. My family was poor when I was a child. In order to make a living, he has to go up the mountain to cut wood every day and has no time to study. But he is tireless in learning, and often walks with firewood on his back when reading.

Edison in the United States is a world-famous invention king. Throughout his life, he invented 1328 kinds of things, such as incandescent lamp, phonograph, film, automatic telegraph and sketch machine, and there was an invention every eleven days on average (of course, this also included the credit of his assistant). 1882 was the heyday of his invention, and he invented one thing every three days on average. People can't help asking: How did this great inventor get on the road to success?
When he first entered primary school, his teacher hated him very much, because Edison was not as obedient as other children, but liked to ask strange questions to embarrass the teacher. One day, the teacher was angered by him. He went to Edison's mother and said, Your child is really strange, and kept asking me why two plus two equals four. It's difficult to teach in class, and it's even worse if it spreads to other children. I can't teach him. You can find another way.
Edison's mother understood children. She took the children home and taught them by herself. In this way, Edison mastered more knowledge than children studying at school through hard self-study.
In order to make a living and earn some money to do experiments, Edison began to sell newspapers. Leave at six in the morning and go home at half past nine in the evening. In his spare time, he drills into the library, reads books and thinks about problems. This library is located in Detroit, where Edison sold newspapers by train.
One day, Edison was absorbed in reading when a gentleman came up to him: "I often meet my husband here." How many books have you read? " "Well, I read a book fifteen feet high." Edison looked at this very strange gentleman and answered seriously. "Ha ha ha ha", the gentleman smiled, which surprised Edison a little. After a while, Mr. Wang became serious again: "Oh, fifteen feet is admirable. Is there a clear purpose when studying? " According to my observation, the books you read in the past are different in nature from the books you read today. Are you just looking? "
Little Edison blinked his bright eyes. "no! I read it in order, and I am determined to read all the books in this library. " After saying this confident words, Edison stared straight at the gentleman, expecting him to say something critical-no, it was a compliment. Unexpectedly, the gentleman said, "Ah! You must read all the books in this library. It's amazing! But reading like this will waste your energy. The economical and effective reading method is to have a certain purpose first, and then choose a book to read. From now on, you should make a policy and plan. With policies and plans, you can step by step! "
Words pass through the mind like a ray of sunshine, and shoot into Edison's heart with a strong thirst for knowledge. He firmly remembered this gentleman's advice and began to study more consciously and systematically.
When developing and improving a part of the typewriter, he borrowed all the books about the typewriter and read them systematically, which quickly solved the problem. In the days when the electric light was invented, he often got into the library, read relevant articles in various magazines, books and newspapers, and then extracted some paragraphs as needed. According to statistics, in order to research and invent electric light, Edison used 200 notebooks in the library, accounting for more than 40 thousand pages. This purposeful and planned method of learning and reading accumulated knowledge brought great benefits to Edison.
To say "the secret of reading", this should also be regarded as an important one.
