Where there is a will, there is a way.

Where there is a will, there is a way (1): the apprentice of young Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo likes reading since he was a child, full of research spirit and interested in medicine. Under the education of his mother, Xiao Huatuo decided not to seek an official position, but to be a good doctor to save the people and the world.

Then my mother got a strange disease, hot and cold, with pain all over and swollen skin. Hua tuo invited a famous doctor to treat the disease, but it didn't work. Before she died, her mother said to Hua Tuo, "Remember, son, your parents were tortured to death by this strange disease. I hope you will learn medical skills as soon as possible, so that people will suffer less from diseases! "

The death of his mother inspired Hua Tuo's determination to study medicine for the benefit of all beings. When he came to this city, he wanted to learn medicine from his father's good friend, Dr. Cai. At first, Dr. Cai didn't want to accept Hua Tuo as an apprentice, but on reflection, Hua Tuo's father was his old friend. It's unreasonable to deny anyone at once when a friend dies.

So he wants to take an examination of Hua Tuo, and if it is the doctor's material, he will accept it; No, don't accept it.

Dr. Cai has made up his mind. Seeing several disciples picking mulberry leaves in the yard, he said to Hua Tuo, "Can you try picking the tallest mulberry leaves?" Hua Tuo said, "Yes." He asked someone to bring a rope and tie a small stone to it. When he threw it, the rope passed through the branch, the branch was pressed down and the mulberry leaves were picked. Dr Cai saw two goats fighting again, and his eyes were red. Someone pulled them away and said, "Hua tuo, can you pull these two goats away?" Hua tuo added, "Yes."

I saw him pull out two fresh grasses and put them beside the sheep. The sheep in the bucket have been hungry for a long time. They saw fresh grass and were busy grabbing grass to eat. Naturally, they dispersed and stopped fighting.

Seeing that Hua Tuo was so clever, Dr. Cai took him as an apprentice. After that, Hua Tuo studied hard with Master and paid attention to practice, and finally became a generation of famous doctors.

Where there is a will, there is a way (II): Mao Yisheng is determined to build a bridge.

Mao Yisheng is a famous bridge expert in China. He designed the Qiantang River Bridge, which is the first modern bridge in China.

When Mao Yisheng was eleven years old, he held a lively dragon boat race on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

On the Day of Duanyang Festival, Mao Yisheng was lying in bed, but his heart flew to Qinhuai River. How he envies his little friend!

In the evening, my friends came back, listless and in tears. Mao Yisheng is very strange, ask just understand, originally something was wrong on the Qinhuai River. Because there were too many people watching the dragon boat, an ancient arch bridge called Wende Bridge collapsed, and many people fell into the river and drowned.

This is unfortunate. Mao Yisheng looked straight at the ceiling while waiting. It took a long time to say a word: "When I grow up, I must learn to build bridges and build the strongest bridges for everyone!"

From then on, Mao Yisheng's mind was almost occupied by the bridge. Whenever he goes out to see the bridge, he always looks up and down carefully; When you read about the bridge, you will copy it in your notebook immediately. He collected countless pictures and photos of various bridges. Because of this, he also got the nickname "Little Bridge Fan"!

Ambitious ambition

Chen Sheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Qin Dynasty, was born in poverty. When he was young, he worked as an employee in the countryside and plowed the fields for others. At that time, he was determined to do great things in the future. All his employees laughed at him, thinking that the inferior people who tilled the fields for others wanted to do great things. What a toad wants to eat swan meat-it's wonderful.

Chen Sheng saw his grand ambition, which some short-sighted people could not understand, and sighed: "Swallows know the ambition of a swan!" It means that the sparrow can't know the ambition of the swan. Later, Chen Sheng finally became the leader of the peasant uprising army. He first attacked and overthrew the Qin Dynasty.

Lu Xun abandoned medical literature.

In his youth, Lu Xun went to Sendai Medical College in Japan to study medicine, hoping to save the country with medicine. Lights are displayed in the school. Sometimes some current affairs slides will be played alternately. Once a documentary about the Sino-Japanese War was shown, many Japanese appeared on the screen to watch a Japanese who was said to be a Russian spy. This man will be beheaded, and everyone around him is watching. The audience on the screen is physically strong and mentally numb.

Lu Xun was deeply stimulated and in a very painful mood. He deeply feels that studying medicine is not an important thing at present. People who are ignorant and mentally numb can only be shown or watched, even if they are physically strong. The most important thing is to change their spirit. It is literature and art that are good at changing their spirit. Therefore, he resolutely abandoned medicine and went into literature. Finally, he became a great writer, thinker, pioneer and standard-bearer of cultural movement in modern China.
