2. cut porridge.

Fan Zhongyan, a great writer and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, once left a famous sentence for future generations, which has been sung by people for thousands of years. However, he had an unhappy childhood. He was born in poverty and could not go to school, so he had to study in a monk's room in the temple.

During his study in the temple, he kept himself indoors, never leaving home, never letting go of his books, and studied all night.

Because the family is poor, life is also very hard. Every night, he cooks a bowl of porridge with brown rice. When the porridge is frozen the next morning, he cuts it into four pieces with a knife, two in the morning and two in the evening. If there is no food, he will cut some pickles for dinner. Life is so hard, but he has no complaints and concentrates on his studies.

Later, one of Fan Zhongyan's classmates saw that Fan Zhongyan had such a hard life and was easy to learn, so he went home and told his father. After hearing this, the classmate's father was moved by Fan Zhongyan's hard-working spirit and deeply sympathized with Fan Zhongyan's poor situation, so he ordered his family to cook some delicious food such as fish and let his son bring it to Fan Zhongyan.

That classmate gave Fan Zhongyan the cooked fish and said, "My father asked me to give it to you, so eat it while it's hot!"

Fan Zhongyan replied: "No! How can I accept your things? Take it back! "

That classmate thought that Fan Zhongyan was embarrassed to accept it, and refused, so he quickly put down his things and went home.

A few days later, the classmate came to Fan Zhongyan's residence again and found that the delicious food he sent him last time had not been touched at all and had gone bad. He scolded Fan Zhongyan and said, "Look, if I tell you to eat, you won't eat. Everything has gone bad. Why don't you eat? "

Fan Zhongyan replied: "It's not that I don't want to eat, but I'm used to living a hard life. If I eat these delicious foods, I won't be used to this hard life in the future, so I didn't eat them. " Thank you for your father's kindness. "

That classmate went home and told his father exactly what Fan Zhongyan said. His father praised him and said, "What an ambitious child! He will definitely make a difference in the future! "

Driven by hard work, Fan Zhongyan finally became a famous writer and politician in Chinese history.
