The story and truth of chiseling the wall and stealing the light are as follows:

Idiom story: During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a teenager named Kuang Heng, who especially wanted to follow the teacher like the children in the school. However, his family was very poor and did not have the money to pay for his education.

As a result, he often hid outside the school hall alone, quietly listening to the sound of reading inside. A relative was so touched to see that he liked to read so much that he took the time to teach him how to read. Over time, he was finally able to read on his own.

Kuang Heng couldn't afford to buy books, so he tried to borrow books to read. At that time, books were very valuable, and only the wealthy had them. But how could a rich man easily lend a book to a poor boy?

In order to be able to read the book, Kuang Heng came up with a good way. There is a large family in the village with a large collection of books.

One day he went to the house and begged to see his master, and when he saw him, he pleaded with him eagerly, saying, "Take me in, and I will work for your house." I have a lot of strength and can do anything. I don't want to be paid, but I ask you to lend me the books you have at home.

I promise that I won't delay my work and that I won't break the book even a bit. The master saw that Kuang Heng was generous and polite, his eyes were full of desire, and he was deeply moved for a while, so he took him in. Kuang Heng finally got his wish and read the book.

Cold and summer, Kuang Heng grew up day by day. He worked in the fields from morning till night, and could only read a book for a while when he had a lunch break. When I came home at night, I couldn't afford to light an oil lamp or read because I had no money.

Therefore, it often takes ten days and half a month to read a book.

Kuang Heng was very sad, but there was nothing he could do. One night, Kuang Heng came home from outside, and it was pitch black all around, except for the light from the neighbor's window. Kuang Heng suddenly thought of an idea, slapped his head hard, and muttered:

Why didn't I think of it before! When he got home, he fumbled around the wall he shared with his neighbors, and finally found a broken wall.

He grabbed a knife and gently slashed along the broken wall, and in a few moments, a faint light shone through the crack in the wall. Kuang Heng was so excited that he didn't dare to pick any more, for fear of affecting his neighbors, so he took advantage of this little light to read the book. The light was too dim, and after looking at it for a while, his eyes were sore, so he took a break and then looked again.

With the perseverance of chiseling and stealing light, Kuang Heng read a lot of books, wrote chapters, and finally became a scholar of the Western Han Dynasty.

Idiom implication: Kuang Heng works for others in order to study, and at night, even if there is a hint of light, he must hurry up to study. Such an attitude, as well as the quality of hard work, made Kuang Heng a university scholar.

Sometimes, external conditions restrict the progress of many people, but those who have a heart will create opportunities for themselves to move forward. Hardships are only a temporary experience, and the knowledge gained after experiencing these hardships is a precious and long-term wealth in life.

The story of chiseling the wall and borrowing light mainly tells the story of another person named Kuang Heng in the Han Dynasty who was diligent and studious, but his family was very poor and could not afford to buy candles.

It can be seen from the example of chiseling the wall and borrowing light: there is no orange chain to create conditions, and despite all difficulties, we must persist in studying and create conditions to achieve our goals. Be persistent.

No matter how difficult the conditions are, it cannot become an obstacle to learning, the lack of simple and delicate conditions can create conditions, and the key to learning lies in the willingness to learn and having a tenacious will.
