For him at that time, death was the easiest way to escape.

But he always had a dream in his heart. His dream was to write a historical book, write down the past and pass it on to future generations. For this dream, he persevered, endured the pain in his body, and endured Despite being discriminated against by others, he insisted on surviving under severe political persecution, insisted on writing "Historical Records", and finally completed this brilliant work.

What did Sima Qian rely on?There are only two words: Faith, if he loses all fighting spirit after suffering the castration and does not insist on writing "Historical Records", then we will never see this great book now.The success of many people is obtained after experiencing many failures. We often say that "failure is the mother of success". Success is indeed a reward for failure, but it is also a reward for those who persist.Throughout the ages, many successful people have grown into butterflies relying on their beliefs.
