allusion

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. When he was a child, he wanted to study, but because his family was poor, he had no money to go to school. Later, he learned to read from a relative, so he had the ability to read. Kuang Heng couldn't afford books, so he had to borrow them to read. At that time, books were very valuable. People who had books would not lend them to others easily. Kuang Heng did short-term work for the rich during the busy farming season. Instead of paying, he asked for books to be lent to him. After a few years, Kuang Heng grew up and became the main labor force in his family. He works in the fields all day long. He only has time to read some books when he has a rest at noon, so it often takes ten and a half days to finish reading a volume of books. Kuang Heng was very worried. He thought to himself: I don't have time to read because I grow crops in the daytime. I can spend more time reading in the evening. But Kuang Heng's family is very poor, and he can't afford the oil for lighting. What should he do? One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed carrying the books he had read during the day. On my back, I suddenly saw a ray of light on the east wall. He stood up and went to the wall to have a look! It turns out that the light coming from the crack in the wall is the neighbor's light. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he took a knife and made the crack in the wall bigger. In this way, the light coming through was also big, so he gathered together the light coming in and began to read. Kuang Heng is a studious and diligent child. When he grew up, he became a famous scholar in ancient China
