Can't afford kerosene lamps and finally become an excellent teacher. What's the story?

Tell the story of a person who finally becomes a useless excellent person. This story is about success only if you make up your mind. No success is achieved by your own efforts.

Kerosene lamps commonly used in rural areas are made of glass bottles. A hole is punched in the bottle cap and rolled into a small tube with iron sheet. The tube is made of cotton. This kind of kerosene lamp is not very bright and can't compare with Mobil lamp (also called hood lamp).

This is Mobil lamp, also called hood lamp. There is a glass cover outside the wick to keep out the wind. Because the spherical lampshade can concentrate light, the brightness is improved a lot.

This is the Mobil lamp of the glass oil storage bottle. At that time, under this oil lamp, my younger brother and sister and I watched our writing homework, and my mother sewed clothes and collected soles with the oil lamp. On a cold winter night, the family peeled corn like beans under a kerosene lamp. Time flies, almost forty years, and the original scene is still vivid.

This is a Mobil lamp with metal oil storage. My neighbor's eldest brother has one, which is stronger than glass, but rusted.

This kind of kerosene lamp is also called masthead lamp and lantern, with hanging beams on it, which can be carried at night. I remember picking peppers for the production team with my mother when I was a child. Before dawn when we set out, the members were on their way with lanterns. Rows of lanterns seem to be a long line on the road, which is very spectacular.
