Little family is poor, and small products such as mobile selling needles. Once he sold his goods on the village, urchin kicked his burden, he didn't have a fight, but silently packed the goods scattered on the ground. This situation was seen from Chen Yao, who believed that "scorpion can be taught", so I went to the United States in June 1860. Chen Yiyi made a helper in the US railway engineer home, and the departure time worked hard to learn English and railway knowledge.
