Everyone has a story when they were young, so what are some inspiring stories about celebrities when they were young? Here are the inspirational stories of celebrities in their childhood that I have compiled for your reference! Inspirational stories of celebrities in their childhood: Yang Hui, the third outstanding figure in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, learned arithmetic. During the Duzong period of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a young man in the ancient city of Qiantang (now Hangzhou). He was smart, studious, and especially fond of math. However, since there were very few mathematics books at that time, the young man could only collect piecemeal calculations that were popular among the people, and study them repeatedly to increase his knowledge. One day, the young man accidentally heard that there was an old scholar more than 100 miles away in the suburbs. He was not only proficient in arithmetic, but also collected many ancient mathematics masterpieces such as "Nine Chapters on Arithmetic" and "Sun Tzu's Arithmetic Classic". He was very happy and hurried there. After the old scholar asked about the purpose of his visit, he looked at the young man and said disdainfully: "If you don't read the holy book, how can you learn arithmetic?" But the young man still begged and refused to leave. The old scholar was helpless, so he said: "Okay, listen!" Naotian has eight hundred and sixty-four steps, but the width is not as wide as twelve steps. What is the geometry of length and breadth? (In today's terms, it is: rectangle. The area is equal to 864 square steps. We know that its width is 12 steps less than its length. How many steps is the sum of the length and width?) Go back and calculate it slowly. When will you figure it out? When will you come back? After saying that, he leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and calmed down, but secretly laughed in his heart: "You must be in trouble, I have just figured out the solution to this question (the solution to this question usually requires the use of a quadratic equation)" , even if he knew how to calculate, he would not be able to calculate it in that year and a half. ? Unexpectedly, when the old scholar closed his eyes and thought, the young man spoke: ? Old sir, the student has calculated it, the length and breadth are 60 steps. ?What?!? When the old scholar heard this, he jumped up from his chair in surprise, grabbed the draft paper that the young man had calculated, and looked with wide eyes: ?Ah, where did this kid learn it? He actually used such a method. The simple method is figured out. How wonderful! Not as good as old age. The old scholar turned around and praised the young man: "God's calculation, God's calculation, you are neglecting me. May I ask the famous student Yang Hui with the surname Gao, whose courtesy name is Qianguang?" ?The young man replied respectfully. The students can all imagine what happened next. Under the guidance of the old scholar, Yang Hui read through many classical mathematical documents, and his mathematical knowledge was comprehensively and systematically developed. After unremitting efforts, Yang Hui finally became an outstanding mathematician in ancient my country, and enjoyed the reputation of the third outstanding mathematician in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Inspirational stories of celebrities when they were young: The honest and studious Song Lian Song Lian, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, especially loved reading when he was a boy. But at that time, my family was poor and couldn't afford books, so I borrowed books from other people's homes to read. Every time he borrowed a book, he returned it on time and never defaulted. Therefore, people were happy to lend him books. Once, he borrowed a good book from someone else. The more he read, the more he loved reading, so he decided to copy the book. But the deadline for returning the books was coming soon, so he copied the books overnight. It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, when dripping water turned into ice. It was late at night, and when his mother saw that he was still copying books at his desk, she advised him with distress: "Son, it's already midnight, and it's so cold. Let's copy again at dawn." It’s not like others are eager to read this book. Song Lian said: "I don't care if others wait to read the book, but I will pay it back when the deadline is reached. I can't just keep my word." If I break one's trust, it means disrespecting others. Then, how can I gain respect from others? Another time, Song Lian went to a distant place to consult a famous scholar and made an appointment to meet. Unexpectedly, it snowed heavily on the day of departure, the mountains and fields were covered in white, and the northwest wind blew violently. When Song Lian picked up his luggage and was about to go on the road, his mother grabbed him and asked: "Son! Where are you going?" Song Lian replied: "I'm going to learn from the teacher. Isn't this already agreed upon?" But this How can we go far away in such a bad weather? Besides, the teacher’s place has already been closed by heavy snow. An old cotton-padded jacket like yours can't withstand the severe cold in the mountains!? Mother advised Song Lian distressedly. Song Lian said: "Mother, if you don't set off today, you will miss the date agreed with the teacher. This is a breach of appointment; breaking an appointment is disrespect for the teacher! No matter how heavy the wind and snow are, I have to hit the road." ?After saying that, Song Lian set off on the road in the wind and snow.
When Song Lian rushed to the teacher's home, the teacher kept praising him: "Young people, if you are trustworthy and studious, you will be successful in the future!" Later, Song Lian, who studied with integrity, finally became a generation of scholars. Inspirational stories of celebrities when they were young: Yu Qiuyu studied on an empty stomach as a child. In 1946, Yu Qiuyu was born in an ordinary family in Yuyao. His father is a dedicated grassroots civil servant, while his mother is a young lady from a declining family. On the day he was born, it was raining lightly, so he was named Qiu Yu. Yu Qiuyu spent his childhood in Qiaotou Town, Yuyao County (now part of Cixi City). Life in the countryside was simple, poor and happy. The mother from Shanghai is almost the only educated person in the village and runs a free literacy class in the village. When Yu Qiuyu was a child, she played with her mother and actually learned a lot of words. When she was 4 years old, Yu Qiuyu put on her schoolbag and walked into a rural primary school. There is a library in the elementary school with dozens of fairy tales and folk tales, which are very tempting. But how can dozens of books satisfy hundreds of students? The teacher came up with a way to borrow a book by writing 100 calligraphy characters in calligraphy. The foundation of Yu Qiuyu's calligraphy was laid at that time. When he recalled those days, he once said: It was with my writing in the morning and dusk that I exchanged the right to enjoy "Andersen's Fairy Tales", "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and "Aesop's Fables". To this day, I read any book with great respect, a habit I have developed since childhood. ? When Yu Qiuyu was 11 years old, in order to give him a better future, his family borrowed money to live in downtown Shanghai. Yu Qiuyu attended high school in Shanghai. The middle school library is not small, but there is a long queue every day to borrow books, and the books I want to borrow are checked out nine times out of ten. Later, Yu Qiuyu asked around and finally found out that there was a place called "Shanghai Youth Palace Library" where it was more convenient to borrow books, so he immediately applied for a library card. The Youth Palace is at No. 200 Jiangxi Middle Road, close to the Bund. It was a difficult time and people did not have enough to eat every day. Yu Qiuyu had to walk for more than an hour to reach the Youth Palace after dinner, and he got hungry halfway through. When he walked to the library, it was less than an hour before it closed. It was not easy to borrow books from the Youth Palace Library, so Yu Qiuyu could only read them there. In less than an hour, when I find the book, I have only more than half an hour left. How many pages can I read? However, just for these few pages, a boy of thirteen or fourteen endures hunger and walks more than an hour every day. After watching it, I walked home for more than an hour. How can we not be moved by this eager reading spirit? It was the difficult reading time in his youth that laid a solid foundation for his future cultural journey. In Yu Qiuyu's article "The Elder", we also saw the scene of Yu Qiuyu studying vigorously when he was young. In 1975, when the world was in turmoil, 29-year-old Yu Qiuyu returned to the countryside to recuperate due to hepatitis. With the help of his mentor, Mr. Sheng Zhongjian, he was assigned to Chiang Ching-kuo's library in the mountains of Fenghua, where he concentrated on reading the "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" which was difficult to find at the time. Books such as "Twenty-Four Histories" and "Four Bu Series". This is simply an intentional fulfillment from God, and it also makes Yu Qiuyu like a character in Jin Yong's works. Only the guidance of an expert is not enough, but also allows him to obtain some kind of "martial arts secrets" in a certain cave in a certain mountain. This reading is undoubtedly important to Yu Qiuyu, because it complements the guidance of his teacher Zhang Ke at the Shanghai Theater Academy and forms two wings: Zhang Ke guided him to contact Western culture, but this time he entered the vast China history. Regarding the method of reading, Yu Qiuyu has a famous "fear of friends" theory: You should strive to find "fear of friends" who are higher than yourself, so that reading becomes an enterprising activity that is both friendly and requires a lot of mental energy. Try to reduce the level of reading that is basically the same as your own level, and be willing to accept the shaping of yourself by good books. There may be books of various levels in our bookshelves. The books suitable for intensive reading should not be books that we can look down or look at, but books that we need to look up at. ?
