During the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Ma Duo, who came from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River and showed extraordinary literary talent since he was a child. His mother often taught him that reading could not only broaden his horizons, but also cultivate his self-cultivation and make the family prosperous. Influenced by his mother's teachings, Ma Duo was in awe of knowledge, studied hard, and worked tirelessly to change the fate of his family.
Ma Duo has always cherished a profound story, that is, the story of the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Ji. Although Zhang Ji failed to become famous and rich, he left his name in history for creating "Fengqiao Night Park". This story taught Ma Duo that the power of knowledge lies not only in fame and fortune, but also in changing the world.
Finally, one day, Ma Duo had the opportunity to take the imperial examination, and he bid farewell to his relatives in his hometown and embarked on a journey to the capital. On the way, he accidentally found the body of a young woman abandoned in the wilderness, and he took pity on her and decided to give her a final burial.
This experience gave Ma Duo a deeper understanding of the fragility of life and the impermanence of life. When he finally won the honor of champion, he did not waver in the face of doubts and rumors from the outside world, he stuck to his original intention and continued to work hard.
Eventually, the Emperor personally inspected Ma Duo, and his talent and virtue were recognized. Ma Duo became an important official of the imperial court, and his life was full of legends, and his wisdom and incorruptibility brought light and hope to the country.
In his later years, Ma Duo resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown to engage in education and cultivate more talents. His life is not only a legend, but also a hymn to how perseverance and hard work have changed destiny and brought hope to society.
