Li Bai (701--762), also known as Taibai, also known as Qinglian Jushi. His ancestral home was in Chengji, Longxi (near today's Gansu Province). His ancestors traveled to the Western Regions in the late Sui Dynasty, and Li Bai was born in Suiye, Central Asia. (The Chu River Basin south of present-day Balkhash Lake was under the jurisdiction of Anxi Dufu in the Tang Dynasty). When he was young, he moved with his father to Qinglian Township, Changlong, Mianzhou (now Jiangyou, Sichuan).
Most of his life was spent wandering. In the first year of Tianbao (742), due to the recommendation of Taoist Wu, he was called to Chang'an to worship Hanlin. The style of the article made him famous for a while, and he was highly praised by Xuanzong. Later, because he could not be accepted by the powerful, he gave up his official position after only three years in Beijing, and continued his wandering life. In the second year after the Anshi Rebellion, he was indignant about the difficult times and joined the shogunate of Yongwang Li Lin. Unfortunately, King Yong and Suzong fought for the throne. After their defeat, Li Bai was implicated and exiled to Yelang (in today's Guizhou), but was pardoned on the way. In his later years, he wandered around the southeast, where he lived under Li Yangbing, the magistrate of Dangtu County, and died of illness soon after.
Li Bai's poems are mainly lyrical. After Qu Yuan, he was the first to be able to extensively absorb the rich nutrients from the folk literature and art of the time and the Yuefu folk since Qin, Han and Wei, and concentrated on improving it to form his unique style. He has extraordinary artistic genius and majestic artistic power. He is the most outstanding romantic poet in my country after Qu Yuan, and is known as the "Immortal of Poetry". He is as famous as Du Pu, also known as "Li Du".

Shenzong opposed the reform at the time, but during his tenure in Mizhou and Xuzhou, he fought floods and exterminated locusts, helped the poor and rescued orphans, and made many political achievements. Later, he was demoted to Huangzhou for "slandering the imperial court". Zhezong was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy at that time and went out to know the four states of Hangzhou, Ying, Yang and Ding. Huizong was pardoned and summoned back for the first time. Poems, lyrics and prose all represent the highest achievements of Northern Song literature.
Most of Su Shi's poems express his emotions about the ups and downs of his official career. There are also works that reflect the suffering of people's livelihood and reveal the darkness of reality. The poetic style is bold and fresh, especially good at metaphor. Together with Huang Tingjian, he is also known as "Su Huang".
Su Shi's poems have a wide range of themes, including travel notes, nostalgia, gifts, farewells, and reasoning.

Yu Minhong: Principal of Beijing New Oriental School, was rated by the media as one of the top ten rising corporate stars with the greatest potential for appreciation, and one of the 25 entrepreneurs who influenced China in the 20th century.
Yu Minhong got up very early. Recently for work, he had to leave home nearly two hours earlier than usual. The "New Oriental" school he founded is recruiting summer classes these days. Due to too many people signing up, the main traffic sections in the Zhongguancun area where the school is located are often blocked. This "exaggerated" scene, It's been going on for several years.
Yu Minhong parked his car next to an ordinary white four-story building next to the North Fourth Ring Road. This is the headquarters of "New Oriental" and is also called the "hottest" place in Beijing by the media -
It is said that in any famous university in the United States and Canada, 70% of the international students from China are Came out from here. As the principal of "New Oriental", Yu Minhong often visits North America. Every time when he goes to a nearby Chinese restaurant to eat, as soon as he takes a seat, dozens of people will stand up and call him "Principal Yu" at the same time.
It is said that those who sell sesame cakes and tea eggs near "New Oriental" can become a household worth 10,000 yuan in one summer vacation.
It is said that in the universities around "New Oriental", many non-local college students will try their best to occupy the vacant beds in the student dormitories all year round. The business of the small hotels in the "New Oriental" area is also surprisingly high. Well, it is full of scholars from all over the world. Their purpose is only one: to get closer to the "New Oriental".
It is said that many of the teachers who teach at "New Oriental" are "foreign doctors" from prestigious foreign universities, and many are leaders and backbones of foreign language departments in domestic universities. Their annual salary at "New Oriental" ranges from 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan. They are the first batch of people in Beijing to become rich through teaching...
Yu Minhong walked quickly to his office on the fourth floor. Along the way, he was still immersed in the exciting moment of Beijing's successful Olympic bid last night. When the good news of "Beijing's success" came on TV, the excited Yu Minhong rushed out of the house and drove towards Chang'an Avenue. At the Guomao Bridge, he and the other four vice-principals of the school met unexpectedly. Facing the cheering crowd, Yu Minhong issued an ambition to his beloved generals: By 2008, New Oriental will train 1 million English talents every year and achieve an income of 1 million billion, becoming the world's largest foreign language education and training base. In a few years, New Oriental will become China's Harvard!
“Are you crazy?——Eight years ago, I carried a bucket of paste and secretly posted advertisements for TOEFL classes on campus. If someone had told me at that time, I would become a company with an annual income of nearly 100 million yuan. As a principal of a training school, I would also feel crazy." Facing the reporter's doubts, Yu Minhong's eyes were bright.

Newton's Life
Newton, the great British physicist, was born on December 25, 1642, in a peasant family in the village of Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire. When he was studying in Grantham Public School at the age of 12, he showed his interest in experiments and mechanical inventions, and made water clocks, windmills and sundials by himself. In 1661, Newton studied at Trinity College of Cambridge University and became an outstanding student. In 1669, at the age of only 27, he served as professor of mathematics at Cambridge. In 1672, he was elected as a member of the Royal Society.
From 1685 to 1687, with the encouragement and sponsorship of astronomer Halley, Newton published the famous "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" and completed historic discoveries-the laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation. He made significant contributions to the development of modern natural sciences. In 1703, he was elected president of the Royal Society. He died in a small village outside London on March 27, 1727.
Newton not only made great contributions to mechanics, but also to other aspects. In terms of mathematics, he discovered the binomial theorem and founded calculus; in terms of optics, he conducted experiments on the dispersion of sunlight, proving that white light is composed of monochromatic light, studied the theory of color, and also Invented the reflecting telescope.
Gauss is a German mathematician, astronomer and physicist. He is known as one of the great mathematicians in history, sharing the same reputation with Archimedes and Newton.
Gauss was born in a craftsman family in Brunswick on April 30, 1777, and died in G?ttingen on February 23, 1855. His family was poor when he was young, but he was extremely intelligent. He received financial support from a nobleman before he went to school for education. He studied at the University of G?ttingen from 1795 to 1798 and transferred to the University of Helmstedt in 1798. The following year he received a doctorate for proving the fundamental theorem of algebra. From 1807 he served as professor at the University of G?ttingen and director of the G?ttingen Observatory until his death.
Gauss’s achievements span all fields of mathematics, and he has made pioneering contributions in number theory, non-Euclidean geometry, differential geometry, hypergeometric series, complex variable function theory, and elliptic function theory. He paid great attention to the application of mathematics, and also focused on the use of mathematical methods in his research on astronomy, geodesy and magnetism.
Einstein is the pioneer and founder of modern physics. Born in Ulm, Germany on March 14, 1879, died in Princeton, United States on April 18, 1955.
Einstein graduated from the Federal Technical University of Zurich in Switzerland in 1900 and became unemployed after graduation. With the help of a friend, I found a job at the Swiss Federal Patent Office. Received a doctorate from the University of Zurich in 1905. In 1909, he was appointed associate professor of theoretical physics at the University of Zurich, and in 1911 he was appointed professor at the University of Prague. Two years later, he was appointed director of the Wilhelm Institute of Physics in Germany and professor at the University of Berlin. He was elected as an academician of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. He left Germany in 1932 due to Hitler's persecution and settled in the United States in October 1933. Einstein made contributions in many fields of physics, such as studying capillary phenomena, elucidating Brownian motion, establishing the special theory of relativity and extending it to general relativity, proposing the quantum concept of light, and using quantum theory to perfectly explain the photoelectric effect, radiation process, Specific heat of solids, quantum statistics developed. And won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.
