According to legend, when the Tang dynasty great Classic of Poetry person Li Bai was young and studying, he was very mischievous, not diligent, often skipped school. Once, he skipped school and went down the mountain, passing by a mountain stream, where he saw an old woman with white hair sitting on a stone by the stream, holding a very thick iron pestle for pounding rice, rubbing it back and forth on the stone.

Li Bai felt very strange, very puzzled. He curiously asked the old woman: 'What are you grinding such a thick iron rod for?'

"Grind it into an embroidery needle!"

Li Bai, hearing the old woman's answer, felt very moved and also enlightened. From this he understood an important principle: with perseverance, an iron rod can be ground into a needle.

From the story about the iron rod being ground into a needle, friends, you surely know more than I do, more vivid and detailed. Even we, when we were young, have heard it said――――

"In the Tai Ji Cave in Guangde, Anhui, there is a stone shaped like a crouching rabbit, and in the middle of the stone there is a smooth, round little hole."

"How did this little hole form?"

Actually, above this stone, water droplets dripped continuously from the cracks in the stone, always falling in the same spot. Hundreds of years passed, thousands of years passed, tens of thousands of years passed……

"The water droplets, unceasing, carved by day and polished by moon, finally pierced the stone……"

Friends must think I have a problem with my intelligence: this is a story that children can tell, why am I telling it to us? I repeat these children's orally told detailed stories, with two intentions:

One, to help friends you recall childhood when studying. Recollection is a kind of happiness. Being able to recollect childhood is even more a kind of happiness. This is as the poet said (I can't recall the original sentence, only remember the gist, please forgive), _________

On a certain night of bleak wind and rain

Suddenly recalled the scene of studying in youth.

Recalled that summer day when I was sixteen.

Slowly walked from the mountain toward the stream bank.

Birds chirped in the forest.

Kept calling.

While outside the forest, the sunlight was dazzling.

Also remembered, before me were hills of tea trees.

Above, there were floating clouds.

Also filled my ears with cicada sounds.

In the stillness of the mountain

No, in the stillness of the forest

…………………………………………………………………………..

Friend, brief recollection, how happy!

Classic of Poetry person says――

"At this moment, I

just like a blooming summer lotus

and at this moment, I

how much I wish

you

could see me at this moment――

a beautiful and happy appearance
