People who grow up in adversity

Canel Sandels is the founder of KFC fried chicken. With the death of his 6-year-old father, Canel's tortuous life began. In order to take care of his younger brother and subsidize family expenses, he began to be a farmer and work in the fields. Canel has a bad temper and won't stop until he realizes his wish.

This stubborn character has always been the reason why he quarreled with others, so he had to change jobs many times. He runs his own gas station and a restaurant, but because the road in front of the gas station has become a back street, the number of customers has dropped sharply.

At the age of 65, Canel had to give up restaurants. However, Canel did not give up.

He thought he still had a very precious patent-the secret recipe for making fried chicken. Now, he decided to sell it. In order to promote this secret recipe, he began to visit American fast food restaurants. He taught the secret of making fried chicken in restaurants-sauce.

He will get a rebate of 5 cents for every fried chicken he sells. Five years later, 400 restaurants in the United States and Canada sold this fried chicken. At that time, Canel was over 70 years old. 1992, there were 5,000 fried chicken chain stores in Quanmeida and 4,000 overseas, and the number expanded to 9,000.

2. Anderson

1805, a poor shoemaker in odense gave birth to a boy, who looked as ordinary as ever. He is Andersen,/kloc-a famous fairy tale writer in the 9th century and the father of fairy tales in the world. When he was a child, he couldn't afford a teacher, so his father gave him lessons, taught him philosophy, and made him understand the world, compassion and writing.

1 1 years old, my father died of illness. He loved literature and came to Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, and started his career in the field of art. Finally, in an accidental opportunity, his talent was released and he got the opportunity to study for free, which is a rare opportunity for a young man with a poor family!

Five years later, 1828, he entered the University of Copenhagen.

I haven't had a job since graduation, and I mainly rely on the manuscript fee to make a living. 1838, he won a writer's prize-an unofficial allowance from the state for 200 yuan every year. From then on, he began to focus on fairy tale creation, one excellent work after another came out one after another, and his career reached its peak again and again, but his life was always at a low ebb.

He spent his life in adversity. He grew up poor, lost his father in his early years, and never married. The dilemma of poverty, loneliness and grief has always accompanied him. It can also be said that his life was spent in a tenacious struggle, constantly fighting against fate. His works bring a little warmth to the world and joy to children, even though he lives in a cold winter.

3. Nobel Prize

Nobel's father is a science lover, who has a keen interest in invention and creation. In order to cultivate children in an all-round way, he encouraged the three Nobel brothers to learn all kinds of science and technology from an early age and strive to create conditions for children to contact the world. Nobel

16 years old, was sent by his father to travel around the world and learn new science and technology. His father's experiments in the arsenal gave Nobel the idea of developing new explosives.

1864, in the suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded and a factory was swallowed up by the fire. The 30-year-old Nobel nitroglycerin explosion test failed again and was saved by luck. This fiasco made Nobel's younger brother and four assistants who were studying in university miserable. Nobel's mother was heartbroken and his father was paralyzed.

The police authorities prohibited him from resuming the factory; No one in the suburbs dared to rent land for him to experiment; The original assistant left him ... however, all this did not stum Nobel. His father's encouragement gave him great strength. Regardless of his life and death, he finally succeeded after many experiments.

4. Sima Qian

Sima Qian was a great historian and writer in ancient China. In his youth, he traveled all over the country, got in touch with society, experienced people's feelings and visited historical sites. At the same time, he also learned all kinds of historical knowledge from his predecessors. Later, he inherited his father's position, made an imperial edict, and read many ancient documents treasured by many countries. On this basis, he began to write historical records according to his father's wishes.

Just when Sima Qian was absorbed in writing, the Liling incident happened. Sima Qian was outspoken and angered Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In order to avoid death and complete the writing of Historical Records, Sima Qian accepted the most cruel "corruption" in the world. Unfortunately, Sima Qian's spirit was greatly stimulated and he once wanted to commit suicide.

But he remembered his father's last words, and encouraged himself with the ancients Confucius, Qu Yuan, Zuo Qiuming, Sun Zi and Han Fei. In the face of adversity, I finally survived with amazing will and humiliation. Exhausted physically and mentally, Sima Qian, who endured a dirty life, knew that "people are inherently mortal, and death is heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather".

He is determined to finish the history book that his father asked him to finish in his later years. After six years of imprisonment, the first year of Zheng He (BC

1993), he finally got out of prison. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still attached great importance to Sima Qian's talent and appointed him as the secretary-general. Since then, I have devoted myself to writing, and finally completed the masterpiece Historical Records, which studies the relationship between heaven and man, connects the changes of ancient and modern times, and gets married.

5. Su Dongpo

Su Dongpo is a rare genius in the history of China. He has integrated Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in his life, and his poems, paintings and calligraphy are excellent. Su Dongpo said to himself, "I can accompany the Jade Emperor in the sky or the beggars in the field. I can see that there are no bad people in the world. " But for him, feudal officialdom is doomed to fail, not because he doesn't know officialdom, but because he knows too much.

He hates that useless party struggle, and he often tells the truth at critical moments. Therefore, it was regarded as an alien by the ruling faction and frequently relegated. Su Shi's helplessness is also a historical helplessness and an inevitable result under the feudal system. What is rare is that Su Shi accepted this bad luck frankly. He lived in eight states and spent half a day in Wan Li.

Instead of being overthrown, he hovered between ups and downs with his philosophy and wisdom, rich life experience and unique personality charm.

More than 2,700 poems, more than 300 words, more than 800 letters and thousands of articles are praised as "incorrigible literati", creating a miracle in the cultural history of China.
