1. Story
Zhu Kezhen entered school at the age of 5 and began writing compositions at the age of 7. When Zhu Kezhen wrote a composition, he often wrote it once, then started writing it again when he felt it was not good, and only stopped writing when he felt satisfied. Zhu Kezhen studied very hard. One night, when he went to bed, the big rooster was already crowing "oh, oh". His mother was afraid that he would be exhausted, so she often urged him to go to bed early by accompanying him to school. Zhu Kezhen was very smart, and sometimes he would sleep with his mother. But when he heard the crow of the rooster, he knew that daybreak was coming, so he got up gently and recited the Chinese language lesson taught by the teacher.
Zhu Kezhen not only loves to study, but also loves to use his brain to think about problems. There is a lot of rain in my hometown, and water is always dripping from the eaves, making a "tick-tick" sound when it falls on the stone slabs. Zhu Kezhen stood aside and counted the ticking water drops. As he counted, he seemed to have discovered a miracle. He stared at the stone slabs in trance. He wondered in his heart: Hey, why are there puddles one after another on these stone slabs? The water droplets are dripping just right. In a small pit. Looking at the other stone slab, it is the same situation. He immediately ran to ask his father for advice.
Zhu Jiaxiang was sincerely happy after hearing his son's question and patiently explained to him: "Little Bear, this is called 'water drops piercing the stone'! Don't look at the raindrops, there is nothing serious. However, as time goes by, small holes will appear in the slate. The same principle applies to studying and doing things. Only by perseverance can you achieve something."
