Idiom story

In the Jin Dynasty, Sun Kang loved to study when he was young, and often felt that he didn't have enough time. He wanted to study day and night, but his family was poor and had no money to buy lamp oil. When it gets dark, there is no way to read. Especially in winter, long night, he sometimes tossed for a long time, difficult to sleep. There is really no way, had to read more in the daytime, sleep in bed at night recitation. One night, Sun Kang woke up from his sleep. When he turned his head to the window, he found a few strands of white light coming through the window. When I opened the door, it turned out that there was a heavy snow. The roof is white, the ground is white, and the trees are white. The whole earth was covered with silver, which dazzled him. Standing in the courtyard, enjoying the beautiful scenery after snow, he suddenly felt a move in his heart: can you read with the snow light? He ran back to the house in a hurry, took out his book and looked at the reflection of the snow. Sure enough, the handwriting was clear, much brighter than a small yellow oil lamp! So he didn't feel sleepy. He immediately dressed himself, took out his books and read in the snow. Regardless of the cold, Sun Kang tirelessly read the book. His hands and feet were frozen, so he got up and ran, rubbing his fingers at the same time. Since then, Sun Kang no longer worried about the lack of lamp oil. Throughout the winter, he read day and night, not afraid of the cold, and not tired, often until the rooster crow. Even the north wind. Every drop of water makes ice, and he never stops learning. Sun Kang made great progress, and finally became a famous scholar. Che Yin of the same Dynasty had been eager to learn since he was a child. Because his family was poor, he had no money to buy lamp oil for him to study at night. On a summer night, when he saw fireflies flying outside, he used a white gauze bag to hang the fireflies above the books and read in the weak light. After that, people used to describe poor family but study hard.
