He found a rope and tied one end to his hair and the other end to the beam of the house As long as his head is low and the rope pulls his hair to hurt his scalp, he will wake up from the pain and continue to read.

Su Qin was a famous statesman in the Warring States period. But when he was young, he didn't have much knowledge. When he went to many places, no one paid attention to him. Even if he had ambition, he couldn't be reused. So he made up his mind to work hard and study hard. Because he often read late into the night, when he was tired enough to doze off, he pricked his thigh with an awl prepared in advance. This sudden pain made him wake up suddenly and pick up his spirit to continue reading.
