Kuang Heng is diligent and studious, but there is no candle lighting at home. There are candles next door, but the light can't reach his house. So Kuang Heng cut a hole in the wall to attract the candle next door and let it shine on the book to read. There is a big family named Wenwen in the same village, and there are many books at home. Kuang Heng went to his house as an employee, and he didn't want to be paid. The host was very surprised and asked him why. He said, I hope to have a chance to read your book once.

Hearing this, the master sighed deeply and lent him the book. Kuang Heng finally became a great scholar.
