Du Yuesheng related introduction
Du Yuesheng once recalled his childhood like this: "At that time, the tuition fee was only fifty cents a month, but unfortunately, because the family was so poor, my mother couldn't pay the tuition fee until the fifth month, so she had to stop school." The painful experience of out-of-school children will never be forgotten. Although he comes from a rough background, he attaches great importance to culture. After becoming famous, he has been striving to improve his own cultural accomplishment, hanging couplets in the lobby, "Friends of the world, reading ancient books", constantly urging himself.
However, after all, he was illiterate and could not "read", so he hired a clever storyteller to tell him The Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin for a long time, and learn historical knowledge and the way of life of the ancients. He practices calligraphy diligently, and his signature is quite beautiful. He pays great attention to appearance civilization. No matter how hot the weather is, the top button of his gown is never unbuttoned, and it is forbidden for disheveled and shirtless people to go in and out of Dumen.
