Zu Ti is an open-minded and ambitious person. But he was a naughty boy when he was a child and didn't like reading. When he entered his youth, he realized his lack of knowledge and felt that he could not serve his country without studying, so he began to study hard. He read widely and studied history carefully, from which he learned a wealth of knowledge and made great progress.
Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the cock crow in his sleep. He kicked Liu Kun awake and said to him, "Did you hear the cock crow?" Liu Kun said, "It's unlucky to hear chickens crow in the middle of the night." Zu Ti said, "I don't think so. How about we get up and practice swords when we hear chickens crow in the future? " Liu Kun readily agreed. So every day after the rooster crows, he gets up to practice his sword, and the light of the sword flies and the sound of the sword is sonorous.
Spring goes to winter, cold goes to summer, and it never stops. Everything comes to him who waits. After long-term hard study and training, they finally become versatile. Zu Ti was named General Zhenxi, realizing his desire to serve the country. Liu Kun, a corps commander in the north, was in charge of the military affairs of Bing, Hebei and Youzhou, and also gave full play to his literary talent and military talents.
Sun Kang's family is too poor to buy lamp oil. One night in the middle of the night, Sun Kang woke up from his sleep. When he turned his head to the window, he found a ray of light in the window. It turned out to be light reflected by heavy snow. He found that he could use it to read. So he was so tired that he immediately got dressed, took out his book and went outside.
The snow reflected on the wide earth is much brighter than the snow in the room. Sun Kang ignored the cold and immediately read a book.

This spirit of hard work has promoted his knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds and become a knowledgeable person. Later, he became an ancient scholar.

In order to maintain food and clothing, there is no extra money to buy him lamp oil for evening study. To this end, he can only recite poems during the day. One night in summer, he was reciting an article in the yard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying at low altitude.

So, he went to find a white silk bag, immediately caught dozens of fireflies and put them in, then tied the mouth of the bag and hung it up. It's not very bright, but it can be used for reading.
From then on, as long as there are fireflies, he will catch one to use as a lamp. Because he was diligent and eager to learn, he finally achieved something, and he went to the official department to be a minister.
