To a certain extent, the saying that it was difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son was correct. However, the answer to this question is not simple because it involves many different factors. On the one hand, children from poor families often lacked sufficient resources and opportunities to succeed in a competitive society. This could be due to the poor financial situation of the family, the remote geographical location, and the lack of educational resources. These factors may affect the child's starting point and development space, making it more difficult for them to surpass the children of other wealthy families. On the other hand, hard work was also an important factor in success. Although children from poor families might lack resources and opportunities, they could still succeed through their own efforts and talents. They needed to learn and grow to their potential and seize opportunities to realize their dreams. Therefore, although the saying "poor families rarely produce noble children" was correct to a certain extent, children from poor families also needed to recognize all the resources they had and constantly strive to improve their abilities and talents in order to succeed in a competitive society.
