Zhang Guanghou eats books.

Mathematician Zhang Guanghou once saw a paper about deficient value, and thought it was very useful for his research work, so he read it again and again. This paper has more than 20 pages, and he has read it repeatedly for more than half a year. Because of repeated groping, clear black marks were left on the white pages. His wife joked with him that it was not reading, but eating books.

Gorky kept the book.

Gorky, a world writer, has a deep affection for books and loves them like life. Once, his room caught fire. The first thing he picked up was a book, and nothing else was considered. He almost burned to death to save the book. He said: "Books enlighten my wisdom and soul and help me stand up in the muddy pond. If it weren't for books, I would sink in this muddy pond, and I would be drowned by stupidity and filth. "

A hole was drilled in the wall to get light from the neighbor's house.

During the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng was very studious as a teenager.

As his family is poor, he has to do a lot of work during the day to earn money. Only at night can he sit down and read. However, he can't afford candles, so he can't read when it is dark. Kuang Heng was heartbroken at this time-wasting behavior, and his heart was very painful.

His neighbor's family is very rich. At night, light candles in several rooms to make them bright. One day, Kuang Heng summoned up his courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I borrow an inch of your house? " Neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their family, so they said viciously and sarcastically, "Since you are too poor to buy candles, what books are you reading?" Kuang Heng was very angry, but he decided to read the book well.

When Kuang Heng came home, he quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the neighbor's candlelight came in. With this faint light, he eagerly began to read books and gradually finished reading all the books at home.

After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and his desire to continue reading more books was even more urgent.

There is a big family nearby with many books. One day, Kuang Heng rolled up his bedding and appeared in front of a big house. He said to his host, "please take me in, and I will work for you at home for free." Just let me read all your books. " The host was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow books.

This is how Kuang Heng studied diligently. Later, he became the prime minister of the Han and Yuan emperors and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.
