Huang Kan's father, Huang Yunhu, named Xiangyun, was born as a Jinshi. He once served as a salt tea ceremony in Sichuan and a prefect in Chengdu.Huang's father was a clean and honest official all his life, known as Huang Qingtian.Huang Kan is a concubine, and his biological mother, Zhou, was originally a maid of the Huang family, and was later taken in as an assistant. Huang Kan's father taught his son very strictly, and stipulated that "Historical Records" and "Hanshu" must be memorized from beginning to end.Huang Kan is talented and intelligent, and he has been taught by the court since he was a child. When he was 5 years old, Huang Kan went to Wuhou Temple in Chengdu with his father. There were many couplets hanging on the wall of the temple, and he memorized them one by one.After returning home, Nai's father asked him one or two things, and he immediately recited aloud, which surprised his father.

When Huang Kan was 7 years old, Huang Yunhu was hired by the head of the Jiangnan Zunjing Academy, and left Huang Kan to study in Rongcheng Yanshi.Due to the lack of family, Huang Kan was ordered by his mother to send a letter to his father, and at the end of the book he added a poem: "Father made Yanmei Order (referring to his father who was a salt tea ceremony in Sichuan), the family has an indifferent style, reconciling the world's plans, Zhu Let the axis be empty." At that time, Huang Yunhu's best friend, Wang Dingcheng of Yichang, lived in Jiangning after he was dismissed from Shanxi's chief envoy, and read Xiao Jigang's poems.When Huang's father saw the family letter written by the child, he was both excited and ashamed, so he wrote a poem: "In the past, I used to cook the sea, but now I return to eat without salt; I am ashamed of the seventh-year-old son, and the poem is dedicated to my father."

At the age of 9, Huang Kan can already read the "Jing", with more than a thousand words a day, and people call him a "child prodigy".His father said in a book: "You bear the reputation of a holy boy, and you must always encourage yourself. The ancients cherished the division of yin. Don't call it young, and you will have great ambitions in a flash." At the age of ten, Huang Kan had finished reading the four books and five classics. His father, Huang Kan, paid special attention to his education. He gathered dozens of boxes of books he brought back from Sichuan into one room, and used it as a place for him to study, with the inscription "Return to School".It was in this hut that Huang Kan laid a solid foundation in Chinese studies.At the age of thirteen, his father died of illness, and his mother inherited his father's will, and still invited people to study at the "return to school". It was often late at night when the class was over, and my mother was still waiting outside with a candle.At this time, the side door of the house was locked, and it was extremely hard work to climb the mountain and walk around the path to the gate to go home.Fearing that he might be afraid of difficulties, his mother asked, "Do you know how to survive?" Huang Kan knew his mother's painstaking efforts, so he replied, "It's just reading."

Huang Kan lost his father at the age of 13, and was discriminated against because he came from a concubine (concubine).After the death of his father, Huang Kan was deeply stimulated and determined to learn to gain a foothold in the big family. He is also extremely keen and diligent. Huang Kan was a scholar at the age of 15.Soon after the Qing court abolished the imperial examination and established schools, Huang was admitted to Hubei Wentong Middle School as the first batch of students.Among the classmates were Song Jiaoren and others, and later Zha Guangfo, Zheng Jianghao, Ouyang Ruihua, Dong Yongwu (Biwu) and so on.These people later became famous revolutionaries.
