He also figured out a way to prepare an awl. Once he dozed off, he stabbed himself in the thigh with the awl. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, woke up by myself, and then insisted on reading. This made the story of Su Qin's "thorn".

Note: This idiom comes from the story of Sun Jing and Su Qin studying, and is used to describe the spirit of studying hard and studying hard. Their spirit of studying hard is good, but their methods of studying hard need not be imitated.
