More than 700 years ago, there was a boy named Wang Mian. He started to help a rich family raise cattle at the age of seven.
Wang Mian didn't go to school because his family was poor, but he enjoyed reading very much. He often stood outside the classroom and listened to the children reading aloud carefully. Sometimes his cattle would run away everywhere when he was listening. He had to run everywhere to look for them.
One day, Wang Mian lost himself in learning and walked home alone. His father was angry with him. Wang Mian promised he would not do it again, but the same thing happened a few days later. Seeing this, his mother said, “The boy is so interested in reading. We should support him.” His father agreed at last.
From then on, Wang Mian read in a temple(寺庙) every night until morning. Soon people started to talk about the little boy and his love of reading. A man called Han Xing heard this and decided to be his teacher. With Han Xing's help, Wang Mian learnt to read and paint very quickly. Many years later, he became a famous painter.
