During the Jin Dynasty, there
11
a child named Che Yin. He was
12
and loved reading. He grew up in a poor family and couldn’t afford a lamp to
13
at night. One night, he saw firesflies (萤火虫)
14
his house and thought of an idea. He
15
some fireflies in a cloth bag and used the bag as a lamp. It is said that he
16
all of his summer nights reading like this. Another child named Sun Kang also loved
17
. One night during
18
, Sun’s lamp didn’t work and he
19
study at night. When he woke up at midnight, he saw the snow reflecting (反射) the moonlight. “Oh, I can use the reflected light
20
!” he thought. He took his books and read outside, though he was very cold. People were touched by their
21
work and turned their stories into a Chinese idiom.
In the past, people had a
22
harder time studying than we do. They had to copy books by hand because there were few books then. For the poor, paper and writing brushes (毛笔) were often too
23
. Students even had to travel very far to find a good
24
. But these difficulties didn’t stop young minds from learning.
All of us can learn a lot from these stories. They don’t take place in modern times,
25
they are just like the light of fireflies and light up our road to knowledge.
