Answer 1

【答案】 As the saying goes, all things are difficult before they are easy. As long as we succeed in the most difficult beginning, the road ahead will be much smoother.

Ma Yun, the creator of Alibaba, is actually not smooth in his life. He even took the college entrance exam three times before stepping into the gate of the university However, he has the spirit of perseverance and courage, survived the difficulties at the beginning of his life, and finally achieved success through his own efforts.

With her perseverance, she changed herself from a little girl who was pitiful and unknown to a strong woman who was respected by the world.
