(Đọc về Mạc Đĩnh Chi. Ông ấy đã đạt được những gì?)

Mac Dinh Chi was a poor boy from a small village in Việt Nam during the Trần Dynasty. When he was studying in his hometown, he could not afford an oil lamp to read books at night. Therefore, he put fireflies into eggshells and used their light to read the pages. With great dedication, he became a leading scholar in the village and later passed the palace examination as the highest-scoring graduate in 1304.
