A short story of five famous people's struggles.

Struggle is a spirit of struggle, and it is a valuable quality when people face the test in adversity. The following is a famous story about struggle that I shared with you. I hope you like it!

Famous Struggle Story 1: Ge You

2010 165438+1October16 Chen Kaige, who is famous for being harsh on actors, changed his old style, not only praised the leading actor Ge You, but also bowed to him in public and said? Today, in order to express my gratitude to you, I have to bow to you. Why? I'll give you three words. Who are you? Real actors! ?

In Chen Kaige's eyes, the so-called real actor is an innocent actor. It's acceptable to say that actors who just started out are sometimes naive, because they haven't been wet behind the ears, but it's really puzzling to say that a mature man like Ge You, who is over half a year old and has worked hard in film and television for so many years, is naive.

Ge You gives people the impression that he is a nice guy, especially considerate and polite to everyone, so modest that even you feel fake. How can such a person who is good at protecting himself be naive? I can't imagine.

Chen Kaige told the story. It turned out that Chen Kaige cried several times when he told the actor Ge You the role on the set of The Orphan of Zhao. In one scene, Cheng Ying put his child on the table and cried stiffly after his child died. Chen Kaige had just finished his trick, and before shooting, Ge You couldn't stand it, and he couldn't play any more. He sat on the plane and burst into tears. At that time, the machine was on, and the camera was always on Ge You. The clever cameraman snapped this shot at will, which became a classic moment in this film. In Ge You's own words? This scene is not really a performance. I was like that before I turned it on. ?

Ge You said that the play often immersed him, put on his costume, and after watching the scene, he went in. He felt that making this play was like being baptized. There were many touches in some comedies he played before, but this play touched him from beginning to end and lasted the longest. In addition to grief, there are sadness and helplessness.

Whether the director tells a play or acts on his own, in the final analysis, it is still a movie. It's not true, but Ge You simply believed it, as if it happened to him, and naturally interpreted the father-son relationship between Cheng Ying and Scott's orphans, which surprised Chen Kaige. He said:? Unexpectedly, Ge You was naive, not easy! ? Why did Ge You perform well? Why did he impress me as Cheng Ying? Not that you are an old-school actor. You have played for twenty or thirty years, and you have enough experience and skills. It is because of his innocence that he shows the normality of the world with his authenticity. ?

In fact, at the beginning of filming, Ge You, who had never been a father, couldn't find a feeling about how to play a father who endured humiliation and dragged out an ignoble existence. He repeatedly asked Chen Kaige how to play. Chen Kaige gave him the secret that you didn't need to play and you didn't get it. Indeed, Ge You's play is not a performance, but a childish play.

All beliefs begin with innocence. If a person doesn't believe in anything, he is certainly not naive and won't have any real feelings. In that case, no matter whether the performance is true or false, it is impossible to give people a natural touch. It can be seen that acting is the same as being a man. The truer and simpler it is, the easier it is to impress people.

Xiaogang Feng also praised Ge You. He once wrote an article about a thing that impressed him deeply: after the filming of "Big Man", a reporter from The New York Times wanted to interview Ge You, but he repeatedly declined something. Xiaogang Feng asked him:? what can I do for you? He said:? Go to Dazhong Temple to buy a floor leather for my parents' balcony. ? Xiaogang Feng said? We helped you with this, and you were interviewed by others. You are not ignorant of The New York Times's influence. Publishing this article is very beneficial to your overseas development. ? Ge You replied? Well, what can I do overseas? I can't even speak English, so I will serve the audience in China. Let them save the soul. ? A piece of floor leather is far more important than being famous in the world. Ge You lived contentedly, freely and spontaneously.

Ge You entered the play with true feelings and acted like a man. The role is ever-changing and the temperament is consistent, which is the charm that he has attracted countless directors to perform!

The famous struggle story 2: Bach

Anyone who loves music will not bypass Bach. He was the first person who successfully integrated different styles of music from different countries, and he wrote hundreds of immortal music handed down from generation to generation for mankind. His life's creation was evaluated as:? Make the word of God spread widely, and make music reach an unprecedented peak. ? Almost all the great musicians who appeared after Bach in the world were nourished by him.

However, it is such a great musician who never got rid of his humble position and poverty all his life.

Bach was born in 1885 in Eisenacher, central Germany. Although this is a small town, its residents love music. The Bach family is an out-and-out musical family. His father is an excellent violinist, his grandfather's two brothers are talented composers, and his uncles and sisters are respected musicians.

For young Bach, who is very talented in music, it is very lucky to grow up in such a family. However, fate arranged great hardships for this great musician in the future: he lost his mother at the age of 9 and his father at the age of 10, so he had to be raised by his eldest brother. Although there are a lot of music materials at home, his bossy brother just won't allow him to read and study, no matter how he pleads. Bach had to take advantage of his brother's absence and sleep late at night, secretly copying his beloved music in the moonlight, which greatly damaged his eyesight and made him spend his old age in blindness. However, his persistence in music did not impress his brother. When my brother discovered his secret, he not only ruthlessly confiscated all Bach's hard work, but also severely punished him.

Bach, 15 years old, couldn't stand the abuse of his brother, left home alone and embarked on the road of independent life. With his beautiful singing voice and excellent playing skills of the clavichord, violin and organ, he was admitted to the choir affiliated to the Michaelis Church in Lombard and studied at the God School. The library here is rich in classical music works. Bach plunged into it, absorbed and integrated the artistic achievements of various European schools, and broadened his musical horizons. In order to practice piano, he often stays up late. Every holiday, he has to walk dozens of miles to Hamburg to listen to famous musicians.

Bach asked many famous musicians for advice, but he never got long-term guidance from a formal teacher. But because of this, he is like an industrious bee, looking for and sucking nutrition everywhere. Later, he worked as a violinist in an indoor band. 1723 Bach in St.? Thomas Church, the head of the choir, spent the remaining 27 years in this humble position with low income.

/kloc-in the first half of the 0/8th century, Germany was divided by feudal nobles. Every castle has a vassal, and Germany with a narrow territory is actually divided into 352 independent small countries. In order to show off their power and luxury, lords of all sizes generally have troupes and court bands. In order to survive, most folk artists become musicians and slaves of the court or church. At that time, in Germany, musicians were regarded as slaves exactly like handymen, janitors and cooks, whether in court or church.

In Bach's life, poverty and death followed closely like a pair of terrible ghosts. Not only has he never enjoyed a rich and comfortable life, but he has felt the threat of death since he was 9 years old because his parents died one after another. When I grew up, I became a father, but I reluctantly sent my child 1 1 to the grave.

Bach is a prolific composer. His works include nearly 300 cantatas; A set of 48 fugues and preludes that make up the piano music collection with equal rhythm; Other preludes are at least140; 100 above other harpsichord music; 23 concertino; 4 proposals; 33 sonatas; 5 mass songs; 3 divine comedy and other kinds of music; In all, he composed more than 800 serious music works.

However, Bach's works were never appreciated by people when he was alive. He has neither a prominent position nor won social recognition. Mozart and Beethoven were the first to discover his valuable value, and they were impressed by the profundity, perfection and impeccable of Bach's music. When Beethoven saw some of Bach's works for the first time, he couldn't help exclaiming: He is not a stream (Bach's name is? Stream? It's the sea ?

1829, Mendelssohn rekindled Bach's enthusiasm for Matthew in an epoch-making performance in Berlin. This piece of music is regarded as the greatest and richest example of all religious music.

Today, Bach's music is being played in any serious music venue in the world. Bach is called. Invincible master? . It is universally acknowledged that his birth is the luck of the world and music.

Short Story of Being a Celebrity 3: Liu Yingjian

He/Kloc-joined the army at the age of 0/5, digging coal and raising pigs, while pursuing the Nobel Prize; He once conquered the handwriting input technology of Chinese characters and became an on-the-job doctoral student admitted by Chinese Academy of Sciences.

His Hanwangbi once had a market share of 75% and was the king of Chinese handwriting input market. Now, he is facing Amazon, grabbing the e-reader market that may breed the world's top 500 in the future.

He is Liu Yingjian, chairman of Hanwang Technology, an entrepreneur who looks like a soldier.

Shanghai Baptism

It all started with a dream in college? 1978, Liu Yingjian, a chef who squeezed time to study for ten years, was finally admitted to the Computer Department of PLA Communication Engineering College. In the study of Chinese character coding, he had a whim: Can you find an input method that doesn't need complicated coding, conforms to China people's habits, or even breaks away from the keyboard?

After graduating from college four years later, Liu Yingjian was assigned to a company under the Communications Department of the General Staff Department as an assistant engineer. Two years later, his? Online handwritten Chinese character recognition device? As soon as it came out, it won the first prize of Beijing software invention and the national invention patent. Institute of Automation, China Academy of Sciences admitted him as an on-the-job doctoral student.

1990, a delegation from Taiwan Province looking for business opportunities came to the Institute of Automation. One of the companies took a fancy to Liu Yingjian's technology, commissioned him to develop handwriting recognition products, and readily took out $80,000.

Then, a sudden thing completely changed Liu Yingjian. Before 1992, his handwriting recognition technology was used in Taiwan Province province and Hongkong. Taiwan Province Mengtian Technology, which was founded in 199 1, quickly seized the markets in Taiwan Province and Hongkong in less than one year.

Liu Yingjian was stunned. The opponent's impact made Liu Yingjian feel the power of the market at close range for the first time.

Repel Motorola

1993, Liu Yingjian led the establishment of Hanwang company. What does its name mean? King of Chinese character input? .

From 65438 to 0995, Liu Yingjian officially ended his military career and transferred to Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This year, Hanwang built the first computer pen hardware production line in Chinese mainland. 1May, 1997, the monthly sales of Hanwang computer pens exceeded 1000 sets.

However, just as the sales of Hanwang pens are rising, the same type of products of Motorola Lex Company? Bi Hui? Enter the China market. This is almost a duel between a small sailboat and a big warship, and there seems to be no suspense in winning or losing.

Take a closer look at Bi Hui? After the product, Liu Yingjian found the flaw of the giant, and also grabbed the Jedi counterattack for Hanwang. On the one hand, Liu Yingjian also technically lifted the limitation of memory space and added the Lian Bi module; While grabbing retail channels. He went to the front line of the market in the provincial capital city, selected more than 40 dealers, took shares in the form of goods and funds, and built channel bases in the provincial capital city with them.

Not to be outdone, Motorola soon spread in the market? Bi Hui? Speech recognition will be introduced, and only a few giant companies in the world have mastered this technology.

In desperation, Liu Yingjian thought of asking for help. He went to IBM Research Institute three times in a row, and finally spent $400,000 to buy the immature IBM language recognition technology at that time, and immediately implanted it in Wang Han's pen. Launch price 1500 yuan? Hanwang reads, writes and listens? , played? Non-keyboard input? Concept, every store's retail terminal has Hanwang promoters reading aloud and writing at the same time, and the market reaction is extremely hot.

The battle has been won or lost. 1998, the sales volume of Hanwang pens reached 50,000 sets, a sharp increase year-on-year 150%. 1998? In 2000, Hanwang's annual sales increased from tens of millions of yuan to more than 654.38 billion yuan. In contrast,? Bi Hui? After losing money for three years in a row, Lex was finally cut off by Motorola.

Danger of sinking

Liu Yingjian has been driving since 2000? Hanwang? Number four attacked from all sides. As an entrepreneur born as a technical expert, Liu Yingjian's business thinking at that time was extremely simple: breaking through a technology, building a product and conquering a market. The sequela of greed soon appeared: some technologies could not overcome difficulties because they could not obtain superior resources (such as funds and personnel); Some technologies are transformed into products, but they are not accepted by the market because of the wrong judgment in the early stage? Most of the 43 projects ended in failure.

What is the most painful lesson? Smart phone? Project. At that time, the price of mobile phones was relatively expensive, and the penetration rate was far less than that of landlines. Moreover, many elderly people did not have mobile phones, let alone send text messages. What if handwriting recognition is implanted in the landline phone so that the landline phone can send and receive text messages like a mobile phone? Smart phone? It is bound to set off an upgrade revolution of landline telephones.

Liu Yingjian decided that this would be another whirlpool that could accelerate the progress of Hanwang, so he did not hesitate to command? Hanwang? No.3 rushed in.

However, the evolution of market development is quite different from expectations.

In 2006, I saw that the return was delayed? Smart phone? The company is about to be dragged down. In desperation, Liu Yingjian had to divest the team that he once regarded as a sharp knife.

Spreader of electronic paper books

After several twists and turns, in July 2008, Liu Yingjian's first Hanwang electronic paper book came out. Its slogan is also very vigorous: let the readers be ecstatic and let the publishing house jump off the building!

Then, for three months in a row, 78 million yuan was spent on advertising every month, especially to let Hanwang electronic paper books carry Shenzhou VII spacecraft to the sky, which earned enough consumers' attention. The indiscriminate bombing of Indiana Jones in the air made Hanwang quickly become the focus of the market, and Hanwang's ground troops also came from the third road.

The first way is based on the upgrade of traditional IT product channels. Liu Yingjian promoted Hanwang's original channels to be subdivided again, from the exclusive distribution system of sub-regional product lines to the exclusive distribution system of sub-regional products, so that each dealer can focus more on one or several products, especially electronic paper books. As a result, Hanwang electronic paper books began to receive the surprised eyes of consumers at more than 1000 sales terminals.

The second way is a special sales channel? Xinhua Bookstore. After three months of negotiations, Hanwang finally opened a gap in Hubei Xinhua Bookstore Group. In September 2008, Hanwang electronic paper books entered the Wuhan market.

This third way, Liu Yingjian aimed at government procurement. Government office pays attention to economy, high efficiency and environmental protection, but there are many meetings, materials and documents, which leads to high paper and printing costs. Hanwang electronic paper book can just solve these problems. In addition, Liu Yingjian skillfully used the current domestic? Learn Chinese studies and read classics? The upsurge of purchasing the copyright of 1000 genuine classic books and pre-installing Hanwang electronic paper books has made Hanwang electronic paper books more popular with government agencies.

Three-way attack, quite rewarding.

A complete and powerful industrial chain front has been gradually opened. In the overall advancement of this front, the sales of Hanwang electronic paper books are rising.

In September 2009, Hanwang e-books sold more than Sony e-readers and became the second largest e-reader brand in the world after Amazon Kindle. By the end of 2009, the domestic market share of Hanwang electronic paper books reached 95%, with an annual sales volume of nearly 500,000 units. According to the average price of 2000 yuan per book, the annual sales are nearly 654.38+0 billion yuan, which strongly drives Hanwang's total annual sales to exceed 654.38+0 billion yuan!

After more than 10 years of twists and turns in this unpredictable whirlpool world, 57-year-old Liu Yingjian seems to want to put? Hanwang? 1 introduced a huge vortex in the ideal. At this moment, he has seen two floods in the coming year. One is the listing of Hanwang Technology; Second, the annual sales of electronic paper books exceeded 2 million units. Besides, he overlooks the long-sought shore? Top 500 in the world.

The famous struggle story 4: Peter

Peter is a legend in Chengdu. His original name is Luo. He is a rural boy born and raised in Sichuan, and he doesn't understand a word of English. In his dictionary, there is nothing. Western food? This word. However, in only 10 years, he was transformed into another person. Now he speaks fluent American English, and his reputation is already very high.

Peter was born in Ziyang, Sichuan, and helped his parents with farm work since he was a child. His parents work day and night, but they are still poor households in the village. Because his family couldn't afford the tuition, he dropped out of school in the first grade.

He wants to get rid of poverty, so he studies hard to weave bamboo baskets. With the increase of income, the whole family joined the camp of weaving bamboo baskets.

? The woven bamboo baskets are sold, and after they are sold out, they have to walk a long mountain road and buy bamboo to weave. ? Bamboo is very long and the mountain road is very curved, so it is very difficult to carry bamboo. If you are not careful, you will even fall into the ravine with bamboo, and your head will be broken.

It is too difficult to weave bamboo baskets. He didn't want to be a craftsman all his life, so he tried to communicate with his father and find another job. However, many times communication is exchanged for incomprehensible beatings. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, after another fierce quarrel with his father, he decided to leave the countryside and go to the city to make a living. He borrowed 20 yuan from his neighbor as a travel expense and traveled to Chengdu.

That is 1996. Peter, a rustic young man, is standing in the labor market of Jiuyanqiao, Chengdu, looking forward to being hired. His first job was washing dishes in a small restaurant. He began to soak his hands with washing dishes at 7: 00 in the morning and didn't rest until midnight 12.

1997, he jumped to a small western restaurant to be a chef, and the key person who changed his life appeared. This is Mary. Mary, an American, visited the western restaurant where Peter worked for a few days, but she felt that the food was not authentic. She recommended herself to the owner of the western restaurant and said that she could give free cooking training to chefs and employees. Peter signed up first and went to Mary's house to study with two other chefs in the restaurant every day.

The first western dessert that Peter learned to cook was apple pie. The biggest lesson he learned from it was that everything should be serious and not sloppy at all. From the choice of raw materials to the baking temperature, we should handle it carefully. One false move may lose the game. After studying in Mary's home for three months, Peter not only mastered many cooking principles and methods, but also made great progress in English, which he knew nothing about. Every time he goes to class, he always holds a thick dictionary, translates the English words on the menu one by one, studies hard and digests them carefully when he gets home.

Mary was moved by his unremitting enthusiasm and hard work and knew that he was not a miser? Passerby? On the contrary, I want to be a serious cook? Long garrison? Yes, he offered to support him to continue his studies. 1999, Peter chose the Culinary College and systematically studied the cooking skills of western food.

In 2000, he was hired as a chef in a western restaurant, and soon he was promoted to be a chef because of his excellent work performance. Many people come here because of their superb cooking skills and good variety, and the restaurant is full every day. At this time, Peter's boat of life has sailed into a warm harbor. However, for him who has a dream, the real challenge has not yet begun.

In 2003, his first dream came true. He used all his savings and friends' investment to open the first western restaurant full of South American style in Chengdu, and Mary was a consultant. Peter. Hard work? As a lifelong observance? Motto? . Although he already owns four restaurants, Peter, who can shuttle back and forth between Chengdu and Beijing, has a new dream. What does he want? Peter's restaurant Can become a chain of western restaurants in China.

Struggle is a very specific thing. Do what you can, even if you just weave baskets and wash dishes. Only by taking this step well can you go higher. Famous Struggle Story 5: Zhang Heng
