Henry Fok's ancestral home is Panyu County, Guangdong Province, and he was born in Hong Kong boathouse on May 1993 1923. Grandpa Huo Dachao once owned a sailing boat, which traveled between Hong Kong, Macao and other provinces and engaged in freight business. However, when Henry Fok came into this world, his family was already in trouble. He lives on his father's chartering and barging. His income is not much and his life is hard. His whole family is so poor that they can't even wear shoes. They walk barefoot no matter whether it is cold winter or hot summer. Once in the old calendar year, my father wore new shoes for the first time, took off his shoes at a stall, squatted on a stool to eat powder, and left after eating. When I got back to the boat, I found that I didn't put my shoes back, because I never wear shoes.
There was no weather forecast at that time, and house boat's life was not guaranteed. Two brothers of Henry Fok were killed in the typhoon. One is 5 years old and the other is 7 years old. Fortunately, his mother was saved by his uncle, but soon his uncle was overturned and drowned in the wind and waves. When Henry Fok was about 7 years old, his father died of illness, and he was only in his 40 s.

My mother is a tenacious, hardworking and diligent person. In that troubled day, she was not impressed by the heaviness of life, but stood up straight and tried to continue the lightering business left by her husband. This kind of barge business is to contact the freighters in the open sea and transport the goods to the shore on their behalf with small sampans. At that time, the main cargo was coal, and the Huo family had no barge. They took over the business from the shipowner and then distributed it to the sampans, earning a meager commission. Because Henry Fok's father was very popular when he was alive, and his mother was open-minded and decent, most boatmen and sampans sympathized with orphans and widows and barely survived.
Although Henry Fok's mother can't read, she hopes her children can read and write. At about the age of six, Henry Fok was taught by others. Then he went to the maritime school, which was free of charge. His family lives in the same boat, wandering around, attending classes is very abnormal, and sometimes it is not easy to find a boat after school. Three shifts, transfer to Dunmei Primary School. This primary school is charged and has free classes, but only 30 students are enrolled. Students have to write an article to take the exam, but Henry Fok was admitted. He was the first person to be admitted. Later, I transferred to Ren Huang College, and the academic system of the college was reversed from Class 8, which was equivalent to the first grade of junior high school. At that time, Class 8 of the Academy recruited three classes, each with 30 students, but most of them were introduced by teachers, parents and various relationships, and less than 10 students were actually admitted. During the exam, he also asked for an article, and Henry Fok was also the first to be admitted.

Da Vinci was very smart, beautiful and lovely since he was a child. When he was in primary school, he got excellent grades in all subjects. Some questions he asks in arithmetic class often make the teacher feel difficult. In his spare time, his hobby is painting. He painted lifelike snakes, bats, butterflies and grasshoppers on boards, floors and walls without the teacher's knowledge. ...
At first, Finch's father didn't want his children to learn painting. He hoped that his son would follow in his father's footsteps and become a lawyer. But the son's extraordinary painting skills conquered the stubborn father. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, his father finally happily sent him to Florence, the European art center at that time, to learn from the famous painter, sculptor and architect Ferrocchio.

On the second day, he learned to draw eggs. On the third day, he did it again. He painted endlessly. It was boring. He painted for a year. He was tired of painting and thought, "What's the need?" Draw a circle with one stroke. "Mr. Ferrocchio seemed to see through his mind at a glance and said to him," Don't think it's easy to draw an egg, but it's wrong to think so. /kloc-There are never two eggs with the same shape in 0/000 eggs.

One day, Ferrocchio painted a picture of Christ being baptized. Very satisfied and proud, he said to Leonardo da Vinci, "Finch, draw two more angels on this picture!" " Finch readily agreed, and soon drew these two angels. They were lively and natural, and their facial expressions were vivid and soft. The teacher was surprised when she saw them. By contrast, what a dull and boring picture he painted. He admitted in his mind that the students had surpassed him and felt both happy and ashamed. Since then, he even stopped writing and devoted himself to sculpture.
Leonardo da Vinci ended his apprenticeship and began to write independently. The Last Supper and Mona Lisa are his immortal masterpieces. The higher his painting achievements, the more serious he is. It is said that Leonardo da Vinci went to various occasions to observe the images and behaviors of gamblers, hooligans and criminals in order to paint Judas, a traitor who betrayed Jesus. Finally,
