One night, he saw fireflies outside his house and came up with an idea. He caught some fireflies and put them in a cloth bag and hung the bag up as a lamp. It was said that he 2. spent all of his summer nights reading like this.
Another child named Sun Kang lived during the same 3. period. At that time, a lot of people loved reading very much. One night during winter, Sun used up all of his lamp oil and couldn't study at night. When he suddenly 4. woke up at midnight, he noticed the thick snow reflecting the moonlight. His first thought was “Oh, I can use the reflected light to read!”. He still took out his books and read, even if it was very cold.
Both of the kids later became 5. successful government officers. People were touched by their hard-working spirit. Their stories gave the idea of the Chinese idiom(成语) nangying yingxue, or “to read by the light of bagged fireflies or the reflected light of snow”.
