The story about where there is a will, there is a way (100 ~200 words) is illustrated with examples around.

Gong Yu is almost ninety years old. There are two big mountains in front of his house that block his way out, so he decided to lead his three descendants to dig them out. Some people laugh at his overreaching. He said: "I have a son when I die, and my son has a grandson when he dies." There is no end to children and grandchildren, but the mountains will not increase. Why can't you dig roughly? " Men are speechless. Hearing this, the mountain gods and the sea gods were worried that they would eventually destroy the mountains and fill the sea, so they reported to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven was moved by Gong Yu's determination, so he sent someone to move two mountains. From then on, there are no more mountains that hinder north-south traffic.

"Iron pillars are ground into needles" is another example. Story outline:

When Li Bai was a child, he didn't like reading, but only liked playing. One day, he left his book and ran into the wild. On the way, he saw an old woman squatting on the ground, with a big iron bar in her hand, grinding hard on a stone.

Li Bai asked the old woman curiously, "What are you doing? 」

The old woman replied without looking up, "I'm making embroidery needles!" " 」

Li Bai said in surprise, "How can an iron bar be ground into a small embroidery needle when it is so thick?" ? 」

The old woman said while grinding, "As long as you have perseverance, you can do anything! 」

Hearing this, Li Bai felt that the old woman's words were very reasonable. Since then, he devoted himself to his research and became a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Later, people used the idiom "iron pestle grinds into a needle" to mean that as long as they have perseverance and are willing to work hard, no matter how difficult things can be done.
