when Lu Xun was studying in Sendai Medical College, Japan, he saw a movie in which Japanese killed China people, and it was actually China who applauded. He felt that no matter how brilliant his medical skills were, he couldn't save the numb China people, so he returned to China to "abandon medicine and become a writer"

A Swiss-born boy, after several years of study, became an apprentice to a watchmaker at the age of 13, learning the engraving technology of clock parts. Although being an apprentice is mainly based on the will of adults, he doesn't hate this craft. He even likes the art of drawing patterns very much, and waving a carving knife makes him feel interesting. Therefore, he hopes that he can make outstanding achievements in the watch manufacturing industry. If everything goes well, this trajectory of life may be delineated here. But the grumpy and rude master made him change all this.

out of the nature of a teenager, he used the skills he learned to amuse himself. During his working hours, he secretly carved some knighthood medals for himself and his companions to wear to show off. His master found him doing this illegal work in private and beat him up, saying that he was practicing making counterfeit money because the medal was engraved with the national emblem of China. This made him feel wronged and angry because he didn't know what counterfeit money was. The master's tyranny made him feel miserable about his favorite job, and at the same time, a rebellious mentality began to sprout. Slowly, he learned greed, concealment, lying and stealing, and making mistakes and being beaten became the main theme of his apprenticeship. Extremely disappointed with his work, he developed a hobby of reading, and taking up working time to read is undoubtedly a new sin, which naturally brings some new punishments. But the more restrictions, the higher his interest. He reads on work cases, when he goes out to do business, and squats in the toilet to read. He often indulges in books for hours, so that he is dizzy and can't do anything else. The master spied on him, caught him, beat him and took his books. I don't know how many books were torn, burned and thrown out of the window.

The boring work and the apprentice life without any warmth finally bored him. When he went out for a trip and forgot the time to return to the city, when he hurried back panting and saw the gradually closed gate, he decided not to go into the city and return to the hateful and horrible master. At this point, he began to travel, thus completely changing the fate of being at the mercy of others and learning to steer his own life independently. Many years later, he wrote masterpieces such as On the Social Contract, On the Origin and Foundation of Human Inequality, New Love for Lois, Emile, Confessions, etc. Every work is like a loud horn, which still echoes in the halls of French thought and literature in the 18th century.

This young man is the great French enlightenment thinker jean jacques Rousseaux.

If there were not so many painful tribulations, if everything went well, Switzerland would have an ordinary watchmaker, and the world would have lost a master of thought and culture.

Frustration, failure and suffering seem so boring, but they are just the most precious gifts given to us by God.
