Celebrity examples of hard work:
Tong Dizhou is a famous biologist in my country. He was born in a remote mountain village in Yin County, Zhejiang Province. Because his family was poor, he helped his family with farm work and read some books with his father. Tong Dizhou did not enter middle school until he was 17 years old. He had a poor cultural foundation and struggled to study. In the final exam of the first semester, his average score was only 45 points. The principal asked him to drop out of school, but after repeated requests, he agreed to let him study as a probationary student for one semester. In the second semester, Tong Dizhou studied even harder. Every day before dawn, he would get up quietly and read foreign languages ??under the street lights on campus. At night, when all his classmates were asleep, he went to read under the street lamp again. The teacher on duty found out, turned off the street lights, and asked him to go into the house and sleep. When the teacher wasn't paying attention, he slipped under the street lamp outside the toilet to study. After half a year of hard work, he finally caught up, with good grades in all subjects and a 100-point score in mathematics. Tong Dizhou looked at his report card and thought: "I must live up to my expectations. I am not stupider than others. What others can do, I can also do it through hard work." When Tong Dizhou was 28 years old, he received the help of relatives and friends. With funding, I went to Belgium to study with a very famous biology professor in Europe. There are also students from other countries studying together. China is poor and backward and has no status in the world. Chinese students are looked down upon by their classmates abroad. Tong Dizhou secretly made up his mind to fight for the Chinese people. The professor had been conducting an experiment that required peeling off the outer membrane of frog eggs. This kind of surgery is very difficult to perform and requires skill, patience and care. The professor himself has been doing it for several years without success; none of the classmates dared to try. Tong Dizhou studied hard and silently. He was not afraid of failure and did it over and over again, and finally succeeded. The professor said excitedly: "Tong Dizhou is really good!" This incident shocked the European biology community. Tong Dizhou thought excitedly: "We must strive for success. Chinese people are not stupider than foreigners. What foreigners think is difficult to do, we Chinese will definitely be able to do it through hard work."

Lu Yu, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, was an orphan since he was a child and was raised by Zen Master Zhiji. Although Lu Yu was in the temple, he did not want to chant sutras and chant Buddha's name all day long. Instead, he liked to read poems and books. Lu Yu insisted on going down the mountain to study, but was opposed by the Zen master. In order to pose a problem to Lu Yu and educate him better, the Zen master asked him to learn how to make tea. In the process of studying tea art, Lu Yu met a kind-hearted old woman and not only learned the complicated tea-making skills, but also learned a lot about reading and life principles. When Lu Yu finally brought a cup of steaming Kuding tea to the Zen master, the Zen master finally agreed to his request to go down the mountain to study. Later, Lu Yu wrote the widely circulated "Tea Classic" and carried forward the tea culture of the motherland!
