Hua Tuo
Everyone must be familiar with Hua Tuo. He is so loud and known to everyone, but his perseverance and hard work shown in his schooling experience , his generosity towards others is shocking.
At that time, Hua Tuo's family only relied on his father to teach and his mother to raise silkworms and weave cloth. But at that time, eunuchs were in power, taxes and labor were heavy, war was in chaos, and the plague was prevalent. Every family was desperate, so who had the heart to send their children to school? As a result, the Hua Tuo family's life became even more difficult.
One day, Hua Tuo's father took him to the city's "Douwu Camp" (that is, the place where local wealthy people competed in boxing competitions) to watch a martial arts competition. After returning home, he suddenly suffered from stomachache. He could not be treated and died! Hua Tuo and his wife were devastated. After they managed to bury their father, the family couldn't open up the matter. Hua Tuo was only seven years old at that time. His mother called him to him and said, "Son! Your father is dead and I have no money to weave. How will we live in the future?" Hua Tuo thought for a while and said: " Mom, don’t be afraid. Dr. Cai from the drugstore in the city is a good friend of my father. I’m going to beg him to accept me as an apprentice to study medicine. I can treat people and support my mother at the same time, okay?” Mother listened? Full of joy, he washed Hua Tuo's face, changed into clean clothes, and let him go.
Hua Tuo became a master and became an apprentice with Dr. Cai. Whether he was doing chores or picking herbs, he worked hard and the master was very happy. One day, the master called Hua Tuo to him and said, "You have been studying for a year. You have known a lot of medicinal herbs and some of their properties. From now on, you can prepare medicine with your senior brother!" Of course Hua Tuo was happy and started to learn how to prepare medicine. Unexpectedly, the senior brothers bullied Hua Tuo when he was young. There was only one scale in the shop. After you used it, I used it and never let him get his hands on it. Hua Tuo thought: If he tells his master about this and blames his senior fellow apprentices, it will inevitably lead to discord among the senior fellow apprentices. But if we don't tell him, how can we learn to take medicine? As the saying goes: "Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing." Hua Tuo looked at the quantity billed by his master and weighed each of the medicines that his brother weighed with his hands. He silently remembered the weight in his heart and secretly added them when he had time. Use a scale to weigh the herbs you have weighed and verify them. Over time, your hands will become more proficient. One time, the master came to see Hua Tuo to take medicine. He saw that Hua Tuo didn't use a scale and just wrapped the medicine. He was very angry and scolded Hua Tuo: "You little naughty kid, I teach you sincerely, but you don't make progress. You know If you take the wrong amount of medicine, will it kill someone?" Hua Tuo smiled and said, "Master, you can't be wrong. If you don't believe me, just weigh it." Dr. Cai took the medicines from Hua Tuo, weighed them one by one, and prescribed them to himself. The portion size is exactly the same. After weighing a few more doses, it was still the same, and I was secretly surprised. Later, when I inquired about it, I found out that it was the result of Hua Tuo's hard practice, so he said excitedly: "The person who can inherit my medicine must be Hua Tuo!" After that, he began to concentrate on teaching Hua Tuo to see, hear, inquire, and understand.
Yes, everything in the world is difficult only for those who are willing. Although Hua Tuo is dead, his perseverance, hard work, and magnanimous spirit of treating others will always stay in our Xuzhou, forever...
