At this time, his younger brother Peng went far away to talk with other students before he was an adult, and he hasn't heard from him for many years. Faced with this dilemma, Peng Yulin had to give up his studies and find a civilian job in the military camp to support his widowed mother. However, jade is always different from gravel. During this period, Peng Yulin met the first Bole in his life, namely the magistrate and expert of Hengzhou. By chance, Gao Zhijian saw a document written by Peng Yulin in the military camp and praised his literary talent and calligraphy, so he recruited himself as an apprentice. Since then, life in Peng Yulin has been much smoother. Later, a vigorous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement pushed a group of outstanding intellectuals in Hunan to the front of history.

Later, Shigu Academy was changed to "Hengjun Women's Vocational School" and "Hunan Provincial Third Normal School". Due to the narrow terrain of Shigu Mountain, it can not meet the requirements of the new school, and the school has also moved, and the academy has become a scenic spot for sightseeing and sacrifice.
