1, China's diligence and success
When I was a child, Hua was born in a poor family and dropped out of junior high school without graduating. After dropping out of school, he became interested in mathematics, and he also knew how to study hard. He started with a book "Big Algebra", extracted an analytic geometry and a 50-page calculus from his teacher, diligently taught himself and embarked on the road of a master of mathematics.
After Hua dropped out of school, he helped his father manage the shop. He often gets up early in order to take time out to study. On rainy nights, he seldom goes outside to enjoy the cool, but studies in a small shop where mosquitoes buzz. In the severe winter, he often puts the inkstone on the foot stove and grinds ink while doing problems with a brush dipped in ink. On New Year's Day, Hua didn't visit relatives' houses, but stayed at home to study.
During the day, Hua helps his father and stands at the counter of a small grocery store. The client came to help his father with business, abacus and bookkeeping. When customers leave, they are immersed in reading or calculating exercises. Sometimes I am fascinated and forget to receive customers. After a long time, my father was very angry, so he simply took a lot of fancy draft paper and tore it up, then threw it into the street.
Sometimes he even throws toilet paper into the stove. Whenever this happens, Hua always desperately holds him as toilet paper to prevent his father from burning it. Few people can understand Hua's ambition and behavior. He overcame difficulties and obstacles unimaginable to ordinary people, kept moving forward and eventually became a world-famous mathematician.

Brown, an Irish writer, wrote five novels and three poems in his short life, thus becoming the most famous poet and novelist in Ireland.

Brown was born in a poor family in Dublin. He was born with severe cerebral palsy.
By the time he was five years old, he could not walk or talk, and his head, body and limbs could not move freely. His parents were anxious to see this. They sought medical help everywhere, but to no avail. When Brown was five years old, one day, he saw his sister writing with chalk. Suddenly, he stretched out his left foot, grabbed the chalk in his sister's hand and drew on the ground.
In this way, with his own cleverness and perseverance, Little Brown successfully learned to type and draw with his left foot, and began to write poems. 1954, when Brown was 2 1 years old, he published his first autobiographical novel My Left Foot.
Later, he published another autobiographical novel, A Birthday is Unfortunate. In this novel, he shocked readers and literary circles with sincere feelings, profound philosophy, touching stories and poetic language. Soon, the novel became an international bestseller and was made into a movie.
