Features: Since ancient times, heroes have emerged among the young. Throughout history, both in China and abroad, many prodigies have appeared, and in their life experiences, there are many anecdotes filled with wisdom and courage that have been passed down through generations, inspiring young children to grow strong. This book selects 100 prodigies from ancient and modern times, telling stories of their growth that are full of wisdom and courage, such as Gan Luo becoming a minister at the age of 12, Cao Chong skillfully weighing an elephant at the age of 6, Sima Guang saving his companions by smashing a jar at the age of 7, and Su Shi cleverly revising a poem at the age of 12. Others include Mozart starting to compose music at the age of 4, Gauss discovering the summation formula at the age of 8, and Karl Witte entering university at the age of 9. These prodigies, some of whom possess extraordinary talent, others who are clever and brave, and others with exceptional knowledge, no matter how many difficulties they face on their path to growth that ordinary people find hard to overcome, they remain calm and think of the best solutions, leaving people in awe. It is hoped that these stories can give children the power of wisdom and spiritual enlightenment.
