Story:
During the Tang Dynasty, the famous poet Li Bai was not a diligent student in his youth. He often threw his books aside and went out to play.
One day, Li Bai encountered an old woman with white hair who was grinding a large iron pestle on a stone. Curious, he asked her what she was doing.
The old woman told him she was trying to grind it into an embroidery needle.
Deeply moved by her perseverance, Li Bai studied hard from then on and eventually became a great literary figure.
