The Story of Lincoln’s Struggle
In 1809 AD, on a desolate farm in Kentucky, a man named Abraham was born. Lincoln's little baby, he was the future 16th President of the United States.
Lincoln only began to recognize letters when he was fifteen years old. He had to walk four miles of forest paths every morning and evening to go to school. He couldn't afford an arithmetic book, so he borrowed it from others, copied it out on letter-sized pieces of paper, and then sewed it together with twine to make a homemade arithmetic book. He studied at school with irregular classes, and learned knowledge "little by little." The total formal education he received was only about twelve months in school. Lincoln's ability to study hard under very difficult circumstances is a manifestation of Lincoln's unwillingness to surrender to fate, and it is also something we should learn from Lincoln.
When Lincoln went to work in the fields, he also took his books with him and read them whenever he had free time. During lunch, I also held tortillas in one hand and a book in the other. After he was nominated as a presidential candidate, he once said: "I was able to achieve this small achievement because of the knowledge I acquired from time to time self-study in response to various needs in the future." Lincoln grew up from a poor child to a politician who led the United States. His journey deeply moved me. The key to his success lies in working hard, working hard, and meeting the challenges of life. Lincoln did it and succeeded.
"Without a reef, there can be no beautiful waves." Lincoln's spirit of not surrendering to fate is worth learning from all of us. We can challenge difficulties and create great achievements together
Lincoln
One day in June 1831, at the slave auction market in New Orleans, a city in the south of the United States, rows of black slaves stood there with their feet shackled and their hands roasted. ropes strung together. The slave owners walked over one after another.
Come. Look at them carefully like you would buy a mule or a horse. Sometimes you will go up and touch their arms and pat their thighs to see if they are strong and muscular and will have the ability to work in the future. strength. Slave owners beat black slaves with whips and branded them with red iron bars. At this time, several sailors from the north came over. They were all stunned by the tragic scene in front of them. One of them, a young man, said angrily: "It's so shameful! One day I will have it." Opportunity, we must completely overthrow this slavery system."
The man who spoke was named Abraham Lincoln. Later, he became the president of the United States and really realized this great ambition.
On February 12, 1809, Lincoln was born in a farmer's family. When he was a child, his family was very poor and he had no chance to go to school. He followed his father to work in the western wilderness every day. He himself said: "The total time I spent in school in my life was less than one year." But Lincoln was diligent and studious, and asked others for advice whenever he had the opportunity. He had no money to buy paper. With his pen, he wrote and scratched on the sand and wooden boards to practice writing. When he was herding cattle, chopping firewood, and digging in the ground, he always had a book in his arms. When he was resting,
While gnawing on the thick and cold corn tortillas, I read with relish. At night, he often read under a small oil lamp until late at night.
When he grew up, Lincoln left his hometown and went out to make a living alone. He did all kinds of work, including day laborers, sailors, store clerks, rural postmen, and land surveyors. He also did the hard work of logging and splitting wood. No matter what he does, he is very serious and responsible and treats others sincerely. When he was a village clerk, one time, a customer paid a few cents more, and he chased the customer for more than ten miles to return the money. Another time, he found that he had given a customer two taels of tea leaves, so he ran several miles to deliver the tea leaves to that customer's home. Therefore, wherever he goes, he is loved by the people around him.
No matter what he did, Lincoln never forgot to study. He took advantage of all his free time to study hard on his own, studying history, literature,
philosophy, law and other works, and gained a wealth of knowledge.
During this period, he became very interested in politics and actively engaged in political activities. In 1834, at the age of 25, Lincoln was elected to the Illinois Congress and began his political career. In 183
In 6 years, he passed the exam and became a lawyer. Lincoln hated the slavery system in his youth because when he was a sailor, he transported goods to the South many times and witnessed with his own eyes the barbaric cruelty of slave owners and the cruel torture of black slaves. After he became a member of the parliament, he often gave speeches criticizing slavery, which was very influential among the masses. The Democratic Party of the United States was established in 1854. Because this party advocated the abolition of slavery, Lincoln participated. Two years later, he was nominated as the vice presidential candidate at the first national convention. . He
said in his campaign speech: "We will fight for freedom and the abolition of slavery until our Constitution guarantees free speech
until the entire vast land is protected by sunshine and sunshine. It is only free workers who work under the rain and dew."
In 1858, when he was running for the Illinois Senate, he published an article titled "The House Divided."
's speech, he compared the coexistence of the two systems of the North and the South to "a split house." He said: "A split house cannot stand. I believe that this government cannot remain half-slave and half-free forever." Lincoln's speech was vivid and profound, expressing the demands of the northern bourgeoisie and reflecting the aspirations of the people across the country. Earned him a great reputation.
In 1860, Lincoln was elected President of the United States.
Lincoln's election posed a serious threat to the interests of southern planters. Of course, they did not want a person who advocated the abolition of slavery to be president. Hoping to regain the leadership of the country they had long controlled, they launched a rebellion before Lincoln took office. In December 1860, the southern state of South Carolina first declared its independence from the Union, and then slave states such as Mississippi and Florida also seceded from the Union. In February 1861, they announced the establishment of a "Confederacy of America", elected the great plantation owner Jefferson Davis as president, and also formulated a "Constitution" declaring that black slavery was the property of the Southern Confederacy.
Fundamentals of the founding of the country: "Blacks cannot be equal to whites. Black slave labor is a natural and normal state."
On April 12, 1861, the Confederacy went to war without declaring , quickly captured Fort Sumter
where the federal government troops were stationed. Lincoln had to declare war on the South. Lincoln himself did not advocate the use of radical means to abolish slavery. He believed that peaceful means could be used to first limit slavery and then gradually abolish it. The key was to maintain the unity of the Union. Under the control of this kind of thinking, the northern government had no preparation for war at all and just responded hastily, while the south had long-planned plans and excellent equipment and training. With a well-trained army, even though the North had advantages in many aspects, it was still defeated by the South. Even the capital Washington was almost defeated by the rebels.
The North's defeat on the battlefield aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people. Demonstrations broke out in many cities, demanding that the government
take measures to reverse the situation of the war. Only then did Lincoln realize that in order to win this war, he must mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers, abolish serfdom, and emancipate black slaves.
In May 1862, Lincoln signed the "Treasure Land Act", which stipulated that each American citizen only paid a registration fee of 10 US dollars,
could obtain 160 acres of land in the West for continuous farming. After 5 years, he became the legal owner of the land. This measure fundamentally eliminated the possibility of southern slave owners seizing land in the west. It also met the urgent demands of the majority of farmers and greatly stimulated farmers' enthusiasm to participate in the war. .
In September 1862, Lincoln personally drafted the "Emancipation Proclamation". On January 1, 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation was officially promulgated, announcing that slavery in the rebellious states would be abolished from that day on, and liberated black slaves could be called up to join the federal army. Declaring the freedom of black slaves fundamentally disrupted the fighting power of the rebels and provided the Northern Army with a strong source of troops. During the Civil War, 186,000 black people directly participated in the war. They fought very bravely. On average, one out of every three black people gave their life for the cause of liberation.
The promulgation of these two laws was a turning point in the Civil War, and the situation on the battlefield became increasingly favorable to the North.
From July 1 to 3, 1863, the two sides launched the largest battle since the Civil War at Gettysburg, north of Washington.
The two sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights. The Northern Army severely damaged the Southern Army, causing the Southern Army to lose 36,000 people. From then on, the Northern Army began to counterattack, while the Southern Army could only defend.
On July 4th of this year, the Northern Army won another victory at Vicksburg. Vicksburg is located on the Mississippi River. It is a cliff 200 feet above the water. The rebels guarding the cliff are condescending and can directly threaten ships on the river with artillery fire.
It would be very difficult to attack this fortress from below. As early as the end of 1862, Grant led his army to attack the fortress several times with the assistance of the navy, but without success. In April 1863, Grant implemented a new offensive plan, first destroying various strongholds around the fort, and then surrounding Vicksburg. The navy also came to help, attacking from land and water at the same time, and violently bombarded the fortress. The deafening sound of the cannons continued for 47 days. On July 4, the rebels trapped in the fortress ran out of ammunition and food and were forced to surrender. This time, the Northern Army captured 29,000 rebels.
Immediately afterwards, the Northern Army quickly pursued the rebels with the force of autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and captured the rebel capital Richmond on April 3, 1863.
On April 9, the rebel commander-in-chief Robert E. Lee led the remaining 28,000 troops to surrender to Grant in the small village of Appomattox. The four-year Civil War ended with the North's victory.
The Civil War is known as the second American Revolution after the Revolutionary War. Lincoln became a symbol of black liberation. But the slave
master hated him extremely. On the evening of April 14, 1865, while watching a play at Ford's Theater in Washington, Lincoln was assassinated by a thug bribed by a southern slave owner. Lincoln's unfortunate death caused a huge shock at home and abroad. The American people deeply mourned him. More than 7 million people stopped on both sides of the road to pay their respects to the funeral procession, and 1.5 million people paid their respects to Lincoln. The legacy
of. Lincoln was an outstanding politician who made great contributions to pushing American society forward. He was revered by the American people. In the minds of Americans, his prestige even surpassed that of Washington.
Hawking - Genius in a Wheelchair
At the dawn of the new millennium, the White House of the United States gave a series of speeches, among which the science-themed speech was "Imagination and Change" ---Science for the Next Millennium". Its speaker is Stephen Hawking, professor of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge in the UK and "wheelchair genius". He is severely disabled and can only move three fingers on his hands. This extremely disabled and extremely intelligent scientist became the ideal candidate for this unusual lecture.
Nicknamed "Einstein"
In the 1990s, it became fashionable to talk about cosmology. Although the Big Bang theory is not a new theory, it is still popular among the public. But very novel. Especially when it comes to Hawking, people show great interest and call him the best physicist since Einstein.
Hawking is British. He was born on January 8, 1942.
This day happens to be the 300th anniversary of the death of Galileo, the Italian physicist and founder of modern physics. A few days ago it was Newton's birthday: January 4, 1643. Of course, this does not mean that the newly born little Hawking has a golden halo on his head. In Hawking's own words: "I estimate that about 200,000 babies were born on the same day."
Little Hawking, like ordinary children, likes toys, is fascinated by toy trains, and even spent his own money to buy an electric train. As a teenager, Hawking also enjoyed making model airplanes and ships, and even tried to invent games such as factories to make parts of different colors, roads and railways to transport products, and a stock market. Hawking and a classmate were responsible for compiling the rules of the game. When programming these games, Hawking's goal is to "build models that I can control and can be driven." "These games and productions all come from the requirement to explore things and control them." This requirement has always driven Hawking to "explore things" and even continues to play a role in later cosmological research.
During school, Hawking was placed in a very good class. Although his grades never ranked in the top half, he was still respected by his classmates, who gave him a "nickname" - -Einstein. Hawking has some good classmates in his class. They like to listen to music, especially classical music, such as Mozart, Mahler, and Beethoven. They also go to the concert hall to listen to music. They also often discuss some scientific and religious issues, such as the origin of the universe and whether the operation of the universe requires the role of God.
Looking towards the vast universe
In the last two years of middle school, a mathematics teacher came to my class. His inspiring teaching inspired Hawking's interest in mathematics and physics. Although his father also encouraged him to study science, he wanted him to study biology, which was similar to his father's major. Recalling his studies in middle school, Hawking said: "When I was young, I treated all sciences equally. After I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I knew I wanted to do research in physics, because this is the most basic science. Although I I know that middle school physics is too easy and superficial, so chemistry is much more fun, with many unexpected things happening all the time, such as explosions, etc. But physics and astronomy promise to solve where we came from and why we are here. question. "I want to explore the foundation of the universe." It can be seen that although the young Hawking's ambition was not lofty, "wanting to explore the foundation of the universe" certainly had an impact on his later research.
After graduating from high school, Hawking was admitted to Oxford University and received a scholarship as his father hoped. Learning physics was not difficult for Hawking, and later he was admitted to a doctoral degree in theoretical physics at Cambridge University. Why choose the theoretical physics major? Hawking later said: "There are two basic fields in theoretical physics... One is the study of very large scales, that is, cosmology; the other is the study of very small scales, that is, elementary particles." That is to say, theoretical physics Connecting the "largest" universe and the "smallest" elementary particles. In the end, he decided to study cosmology because "there is already a well-defined theory in cosmology, namely Einstein's general theory of relativity." General relativity is the theoretical basis for the study of cosmology.
Repaying the favor of society
During his research and study, Hawking suffered from a strange disease, a type of motor neuron disease. The disease made Hawking's already inflexible behavior even more clumsy, and the disease quickly worsened. Hawking was so distressed that he didn't think he had much longer to live. However, Hawking did not give up his normal work, study and life, and he got married at this time. Five years later, he became the father of three children.
The sick Hawking remained the same, even more diligent. He once dreamed that he was being executed, from which he hoped, "If I am pardoned, I can still do many valuable things." He believed, "I want to sacrifice my life to save other people" and do some good deeds to repay society's kindness to him.
Diligent work enabled Hawking to achieve great results. He became famous in the physics community for his research on black holes. A black hole is a celestial body that is small in size and very massive, that is, it has a very high density. This kind of celestial body is a celestial body speculated from theory.
As early as 200 years ago, a French scientist raised the issue of black holes. He believes that a star that meets certain conditions will absorb the light emitted by itself under the action of gravity, making it appear to us as a "dark mass." However, this science fiction prediction has not been taken seriously. When Einstein established the general theory of relativity, a German scientist re-predicted the existence of black holes with the help of general relativity. He found that a black hole with a mass equal to the mass of the sun has a diameter of only 2.95 kilometers; and a black hole with a mass equal to the earth has a diameter of only 0.9 centimeters. By the end of the 1930s, when an American scientist was studying stellar evolution, he studied the black hole problem again. He believed that when a star burns out, it will collapse endlessly under the influence of gravity, eventually forming a black hole.
The study of black holes has attracted worldwide attention
In the 1960s, a series of new discoveries in astronomy stimulated research in astrophysics. Hawking was at the right time, and his research on black holes made him emerge. Hawking introduced thermal science into the study of black holes, which greatly deepened our understanding of black holes. At this time, Hawking believed that there might be a "micro black hole". Such black holes are very small, and some are as small as protons or neutrons. According to the theory of modern physics, when an object is so small, it should obey the laws of quantum mechanics. Hawking's further research showed that black holes can evaporate; the smaller the black hole, the faster it evaporates. A 1 billion ton (about the same size as a proton) black hole takes 10 billion years to evaporate completely, and the energy released in the last 0.1 seconds is equivalent to the explosion of 1 million megaton hydrogen bombs. That is to say, should we conduct astronomical observations carefully and try to find this kind of "micro black hole" in the universe and use it? !
Hawking made great contributions to the study of the Big Bang theory. He believes that the universe originated from a "singularity". The explosion at the "singularity" produced particles and energy, and the interaction between particles created nebulae, which then evolved into our world today. Today's universe is still expanding. In the future, the universe may continue to expand, or it may shrink to the "singularity" where the universe was originally formed when it reaches its limit. This may seem interesting, but this is the level of understanding of the universe today.
For his achievements in astrophysics research, Hawking won the Einstein Prize in 1978. In 1980 he became Lucasian Professor at Trinity College. Newton had been professor of the lecture. Now, Hawking is almost 60 years old. Despite his physical disability, he traveled frequently, lectured, and wrote. His "A Brief History of Time" has sold tens of millions of copies and been translated into more than 40 languages. Because of Hawking's legendary struggle experience, his "A Brief History of Time" was also put on the screen. People saw images of black holes and elementary particles, and listened to Hawking's typing on the computer keyboard and the computer's synthesized sounds. People were shocked by the profundity of modern physics and cosmological theories, marveled at human wisdom, and even more admired Hawking's ability to endure the huge task. The great spirit shown by climbing to the peak of science even in times of pain.
The Story of the Inventor
The Story of Bi Sheng’s Movable Type Printing
In the early days of printing, books were engraved on whole wooden boards. I heard that my senior brother Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, and the printing efficiency suddenly increased dozens of times. The juniors all learned from my senior brother.
Bi Sheng demonstrated and explained at the same time, introducing his invention to his juniors without reservation.
He first made small squares from fine clay, carved convex backhand characters one by one, burned them hard with fire, and placed them in wooden grids according to the rhymes. Then spread adhesive (rosin, wax and paper ash) on an iron plate, arrange the character prints one by one according to the paragraphs, then put an iron frame around it and heat it with fire. When the adhesive cools slightly, use a flat plate to flatten the layout. After it is completely cooled, you can print. After printing, the printing plate is dried with fire to melt the adhesive, and the movable type is removed one by one and saved for the next typesetting.
The junior fellow students couldn’t help but admire it.
A junior brother said: "There are more than 5,000 volumes of the Tripitaka, and 130,000 wooden boards were carved, which cannot fit in a room. It took many years of hard work! If I use my brother's method, it can be completed in a few months. Brother, How did you come up with such a clever method?"
"My two sons taught me!" Bi Sheng said.
"Your son? How is that possible? They can only 'play house'."
"You're right! They just rely on this 'playing house'." Bi Sheng He smiled and said, "Before the Qingming Festival last year, I took my wife and children back to my hometown to worship our ancestors. One day, my two sons played house and made pots, bowls, tables, chairs, pigs, and people out of mud. They arranged them as they pleased. Back and forth. Suddenly something brightened up in front of my eyes. At that time, I thought, why don’t I also play house? Isn’t it possible to carve single-character seals in clay and arrange them into articles? Haha, isn’t this what my son taught me? "Really?"
The brothers also laughed after hearing this.
"But every child has played this house, and all the senior brothers have seen it. Why are you the only one who invented movable type printing?" The same junior brother asked.
After a while, the master spoke: "Among your brothers, Bi Sheng is the most thoughtful. He has been thinking about new ways to improve work efficiency for a long time! It takes more than a day to freeze three feet. ”
“Oh——!” The brothers suddenly understood.
A lonely hero in order to be as "earth-shattering" as Columbus and others. Plots to find the rumored strait from Europe to Asia's Spice Islands. For this reason, he did not hesitate to "betray" a motherland that did not appreciate him at all and defected to Spain, marching forward into a place of no return. Based only on a false rumor and a navigation map full of errors, he actually gained the trust of the King of Spain and many businessmen, led a group of "rabble", sailed to the strait that actually did not exist, and began a historic voyage. The craziest voyage ever. Even though his dream was crushed by the ruthless reality, Magellan still persisted. As a result, he not only discovered the strait from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but also completed mankind's first round-the-world journey, thereby proving the conjecture that the earth is a round sphere.
In order to realize his ideal, Magellan sacrificed his life and reputation. In the process, he fully demonstrated his extraordinary courage, perseverance and courage. If you are interested in learning more about Magellan, you can buy a biography about him and read it.
Shun, according to legend, was a sage in Chinese history. He was an ancient emperor after Yao and the leader of the tribal alliance of ancient emperors. He was the representative of the abdication system

Zhuge Liang’s short story
Eat melons and leave seeds
Zhuge Liang was not only able to grow good crops, but also had a good skill in growing watermelons. There used to be such a rule in Xiangyang area: when you enter the watermelon garden, you can eat enough melons, but you cannot take away the melon seeds. It is said that this "rule" was also invited by Ge Liang to stay.
The watermelon grown by Zhuge Liang is large, sweet, and sour without tail. Everyone who comes to Longzhong as a guest or passes by must go to the melon garden to feast their mouths. The old farmers around came to learn from him the experience of growing melons. He told them without reservation that the melons should be planted on sandy soil and covered with sesame cakes or sesame oil. Many people came to ask him for watermelon seeds. Because they had not paid attention to saving the seeds before, many people had to leave disappointed. The next year, the watermelon garden opened again, and he put a sign on the ground that read: "Eat the melon tubes and keep the seeds."
Zhuge Liang washed the melon seeds, dried them in the sun, and then Distributed to nearby melon farmers. Today, watermelons from Jiajiahu, Changfengzhou and Xiaofanzhou on the sandy land on both sides of the Han River are still famous for their large size, thin skin and sweet taste. Some places still abide by the old rule of "eating melons and leaving seeds"
