Sang Lan, a famous gymnast, is called "King of Vaulting Horse" in China. However, this was before1June 65438+July 2 1998, and it was in the fourth gymnasium of Goodwill Games in new york, USA. It was just a pre-competition training and an accident. Sang Lan's unfinished handspring ended her gymnastics career, but she is still "famous" or even more "famous". What makes Sang Lan "famous" is her spirit, her perseverance and her eternal smile. 17 flower season, even the injured flowers are still beautiful.
Sang Lan's injuries were extremely serious: the fifth and seventh cervical vertebrae were open comminuted fractures, 75% of them were dislocated, the central nervous system was seriously damaged, and the consciousness of both hands and below the chest was lost. American nurses are very conscientious: from Nassau County Medical Center in Long Island to the most famous Monsenai Rehabilitation Center in downtown new york, medical experts have come up with the best treatment plan and used the best drugs.
The world is extremely concerned about Sang Lan: local American officials and ordinary people who heard about it came to visit in an endless stream, and flowers filled Sang Lan's ward; Ms. Xie Xiaohong, the guardian entrusted by the Chinese Gymnastics Association, waited day and night, holding Sang Lan's hand in the most painful time; The people of the motherland have devoted endless affection and care, and1200 million distant blessings have crossed the ocean. ...
But the best performer is Sang Lan: she hasn't shed a tear since she woke up; From the moment she faced the public's eyes again, there was always a bright smile on her face. 17-year-old girl and 17-year-old innocent smile conquered the United States, conquered China and conquered the world ... 10 months later, Sang Lan, whose injury was basically stable, finally returned to her motherland that she missed day and night and continued to receive rehabilitation treatment at the China Rehabilitation Research Center.
This is a longer and more arduous process.
Sang Lan, hold on. She endured great pain and actively cooperated with the medical staff. Complications such as urinary and respiratory tract infections, pressure ulcers and scoliosis that may be caused by paraplegia have been effectively controlled and corrected. Postural hypotension has been relieved, joints have maintained good mobility, muscle strength has begun to recover, and the wheelchair has been able to swing far by itself. Sang Lan's self-care ability has been greatly improved. She can put on clothes, socks and shoes independently, eat, wash her face, brush her teeth and take a shower. She is learning English, can operate the computer and can complete the transition from wheelchair to bed. ...
Of course, what she actually accomplished was the transformation of roles. She is no longer a gymnast, nor even a paraplegic disabled person in general. She is a smiling girl 19 years old. She is a young life, full of longing and hope for a new life like ordinary people.
She is now a student of the middle school affiliated to Tsinghua University, the most famous institution in China. The buds in the flower season are eagerly irrigated by human cultural knowledge. She has the kindness of human nature, and all kinds of rehabilitation equipment and daily necessities donated to her by all walks of life are donated to Beijing Pok Oi Hospital and disabled patients who are more in need and more difficult.
She is a humanitarian charity ambassador. She traveled all over the motherland with her disabled body, lit the torch of the 5th China Paralympic Games in Shanghai, and raised money for mentally retarded children with Mr Schwarzenegger in Shenzhen. Her behavior infected people. A prisoner wrote to her, and a young man who didn't do his duty visited her at her bed. She answered and received her warmly. ...
19 years old, Sang Lan's beautiful life picture has just begun. She once fell and is now getting up.
A famous writer in China asked: How far is forever? Sang Lan, 19 years old, answered with her life experience: life is eternal, and smile is eternal. ...
Case 2: Beethoven
1824 On the evening of May 7th, in the famous music city of Vienna, a historic great moment was engraved in the glorious history of music art. In this polite art city, even if the royal family came, people only applauded three times, but this evening, if it weren't for the intervention of the police, there might be ten or twenty applause ...
What a magnificent sight it is! What an unforgettable moment it is! Here, an immortal musical masterpiece first appeared in the European music scene.
Romain rolland wrote excitedly: "Dusk is approaching, and a thunderstorm is brewing. Then there are thick clouds, covered with lightning, dyed black by the night, with storms, which is the beginning of the ninth symphony. Suddenly, when the wind and rain suddenly broke out, the darkness cracked and the night was driven away in the sky. Due to the strength of the will, the Qingming of that day was returned to us. "

People cheered and applauded enthusiastically, and tears rushed to the stage in communication, rushing to the master who cast such amazing artistic masterpieces for mankind ...
However, who would have thought that Beethoven, the author of this great work, who created one hero after another in the music world, turned his back on the enthusiastic audience and heard nothing at the moment. When contralto singer Hong Re turned around holding his hand, he didn't hear it, but "saw" the audience's strong enthusiasm.
The composer who was deaf in both ears fainted on the spot with excitement ... Since this thrilling premiere night, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony has spread and continued towards infinite space and time, so that many music artists can't wait to praise this masterpiece enthusiastically.
Schumann said, "I have never been so fascinated by this symphony."

Okay, Barene, can you promise mom? "Mother's words, like a hammer in Barene's heart, he" wow ",threw himself into his mother's arms and burst into tears.

" But Edison said, "So far, my harvest is not bad. At least I found that there are more than 1000 materials that cannot be used as filaments. " After more than 6,000 experiments, he finally succeeded.

Fate endowed him with handsome appearance, kind personality and intelligent talent. /kloc-entered the famous groton College at the age of 0/4, and came to Harvard University four years later. 190 1 joined the * * * and party club and started his political career.
Also in this year, his uncle theodore roosevelt became the youngest president in American history. Roosevelt was determined to follow his uncle into politics and found a blockbuster opportunity at 19 10. He intended to run for the Senate of new york City, but he appeared as a Democratic candidate.

Case 9: ostrovsky
Fate is cruel to ostrovsky: he went to primary school for three years, and his youth disappeared in the galloping horses and bullets. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he was seriously injured in the abdomen and head, and his right eye was blind. At the age of 20, he was bedridden with joint sclerosis. Facing the severe challenge of fate, he deeply felt: "Nothing in life is more terrible than being left behind."
Ostrovsky bravely fought against fate: he didn't want to lie on the credit book of disabled honorary soldiers and lend a helping hand to the motherland and people. He finished all the courses in Correspondence University with boiling energy and eagerly read Russian and world-famous literary works. Books call him forward, and books accompany him through thorns.
When ostrovsky's cultural and literary attainments reached a certain level, he wrote a novella about heroic soldiers in the Kotovschi army and sent it to a magazine, but it was not adopted. But he didn't lose heart. He deeply understood that getting ahead is rare. People often only see the laurels on the heads and the garlands on the necks of successful people, but ignore the pain, neglect and even discrimination they suffered before their success.
Therefore, some people who climb to the peak of their ideals will cringe when they encounter difficulties and obstacles, and will give up halfway when they encounter cold treatment and discrimination, exclaiming that they are ill-timed. Ostrovsky endured the pain and climbed silently to the goal. 1932, he finally finished the book how steel was tempered.
In this regard, he exclaimed happily: "The door of life is open to me!" "Books are my soldiers!" Hit with a gun while standing, with a pen while lying down, and with a book after death. This is ostrovsky's life as a soldier and writer.

At that time, although he was only 32 years old, he was blind, quadriplegic, unable to move around, unable to write by hand, and it was extremely difficult to turn his head.
As he wrote in his autobiography, "he almost lost all his physical strength, leaving only the desire to do something for his party and the working class." He doesn't want to spend his limited life in leisure and boredom. A strong sense of historical responsibility made it difficult for him to lay down his new fighting weapon-pen.
According to the doctor's diagnosis at that time, ostrovsky had five years to live, but he was very aware of the severity of his illness. He once said to the nurse, "I know my illness is very serious." I regret that there is still so much work to be done. "
One month before his death, he obviously felt that death was coming to him, but he didn't ask for a doctor, and he didn't stop writing to recuperate. Instead, he worked overtime desperately to race against time with death. He asked the secretaries to keep "three shifts" at his bedside. He lay down to take dictation, his wife and assistant helped him type, and he refused to rest for a moment.
Ostrovsky Thought galloped on the vast Yuan Ye on the Ukrainian-Polish border. Every letter he dictated was like a ruthless bullet, shooting at the invading German robber. As his wife Raissa Palvrevna wrote in her memoirs, "These days, typewriters sound like machine guns."
Ostrovsky died after living in his new house for only seven months, but he completed another masterpiece "Born in the Storm" with amazing perseverance. In his letter to Stalin, he wrote: "I will dedicate my life to the Bolshevik education of the younger generation of the socialist motherland until my last heartbeat."
1February 20, 936, 1936, six days after the first volume of The Birth of the Storm was completed, the heart of this great proletarian soldier stopped beating.

His neighbor's family is very rich. At night, light candles in several rooms to make them bright. One day, Kuang Heng summoned up his courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to study at night, but I can't afford candles. Can I borrow an inch of your house? " Neighbors have always looked down on people who are poorer than their family, so they said viciously and sarcastically, "Since you are too poor to buy candles, what books are you reading?" Kuang Heng was very angry, but he decided to read the book well.
When Kuang Heng came home, he quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the neighbor's candlelight came in. With this faint light, he eagerly began to read books and gradually finished reading all the books at home.
After reading these books, Kuang Heng felt that his knowledge was far from enough, and his desire to continue reading more books was even more urgent. There is a big family nearby with many books. One day, Kuang Heng rolled up his bedding and appeared in front of a big house. He said to his host, "please take me in, and I will work for you at home for free." Just let me read all your books. " The host was moved by his spirit and agreed to his request to borrow books.
This is how Kuang Heng studied diligently. Later, he became the prime minister of the Han and Yuan emperors and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.
