〈〈Helen Keller〉〉This book is a real and touching story. I read this book in one sitting and learned a lot from it. This book tells the story of Helen Keller, an American blind and deaf female writer and educator. When Helen was one and a half years old, she lost her vision and hearing due to illness. This is unimaginable and unbearable pain for ordinary people. However, Helen did not succumb to her fate. With the help of her teacher's education, she overcame her illness and learned to speak. She used her fingers to "listen" to what others said and mastered five languages. At the age of twenty-four, she graduated with honors from the famous Radcliffe Women's College of Harvard University. Since then, she has devoted her energy to benefiting the world's blind and deaf people. She has been praised and awarded by governments, people and institutions of higher learning in many countries. How amazing it is that a blind and deaf person can achieve such great achievements! If Helen stubbornly succumbs to her unfortunate fate, she will become a pitiful, ignorant, and ignorant parasite. However, she did not bow to fate. With amazing perseverance and tenacious spirit, she completed her life and made contributions to mankind, becoming a knowledgeable and respectable person.

After reading the book, I deeply realized that whether a person can achieve success does not depend on the quality of the conditions, but on whether he has the spirit of struggle. Usually, some people always use poor conditions and many difficulties as the reasons for not achieving success. But how insignificant these difficulties are compared with Helen! As long as a person has lofty ideals and goals, he will have endless power and will not be bound by objective conditions. He will be able to exert his subjective initiative, create conditions, and control his own destiny. Isn’t that what Helen is like? Isn’t she a persistent person?

3 Among all things related to Cuba, there is one person who often pops up in my memory and makes me unforgettable.

When the Spanish-American War breaks out, the President of the United States must immediately contact Garcia, the leader of the Cuban rebels. Garcia was in the vast mountains of Cuba—no one knew exactly where he was, and no mail or telegram had ever reached him. And U.S. President McKinley must obtain his cooperation as soon as possible.

What to do?

Someone said to the president: "If anyone can find Garcia, then this person is Rowan."

So the president found Rowan and gave him a letter. Letter to Garcia.

As for the man named Rowan, how he took the letter, wrapped it in an oil paper bag, sealed it, put it on his chest and hid it; how he arrived in Cuba after 4 days by boat, and then walked through this dangerous place on foot after 3 weeks. The island country finally sent the letter to Garcia - these details are not what I want to talk about. The key points I want to emphasize are:

The President of the United States handed Rowan a letter addressed to Garcia; and after Rowan took the letter, he did not ask: "Where is he?"

4 A story about loneliness and persistence

A small stone in the forest bears the torrent of heaven and earth alone. In a small territory, it believes that the earth is old and the universe is eternal, and the ether is eternal, and those in life are Accidents are constantly happening in things that are too vast, leaving us with no choice, so we start a wandering journey with no tomorrow, abandoning the growth on the road, and witnessing the changes in the world. It turns out that everyone is born alone. Fragmentation cannot reconstruct the psychological loss, and transformation cannot bring about the perfection in the dream. It keeps walking and losing, outside of consciousness, in the thousands of mountains and rivers where time passes like an hourglass in the hand.

Everyone spends his life constantly perfecting and enriching family, love and friendship, twisting and turning in the sermon of longing, but there is never a clear standard and answer. The stone from childhood has been kept warm in the drawer for many years. What is broken is our life, just like the psychic jade stone in the red building. The vicissitudes of life around it have changed, and the destiny of dust will return to dust.

In the illusion and hopeless expectation, there is no way back, and the past that I want to return to is just a lonely nostalgia. No dream can last a lifetime of sweetness, and no place is the home before leaving. Outside the hustle and bustle of the world, in an individual alien space, it is destined to be like the suggestion of the sheep man in Murakami's "Dance Dance"—— Relentlessly follow your own dance steps, no matter how absurd and desperate, you have to dance well without pursuing its meaning, and then the rigid things will gradually loosen, and once you stop, everything you are connected to in life will Disappear, disappear forever.

Whether you go home or go to a brighter place, you have to be in a black place, you have to walk in the dark cotton field, you have to walk in the hometown of dark clouds, when you go out, You're just in the dark.
