She lived in a colorless and silent world, but composed a brilliant song of life- Carnegie
"Napoleon and Helen Keller were two of the most interesting people of the nineteenth century". This is what the great American writer Mark Twain said about Helen Keller, a little girl who was only fifteen years old at the time.
In the first year and a half of her life, Helen Keller, like ordinary people, could hear and see, and began to learn teeth and teeth. But nineteen months after her birth, a serious illness fell on her like a disaster, and she became a deaf, blind and dumb person.
She was only a nineteen-month-old child, but she also seemed to understand the injustice of fate, and began to want to break and destroy everything she did not like like like a beast. The comfort and persuasion of others will be like other children, rolling, crying.
Her desperate parents were forced to send her to Perkins College, which is dedicated to the blind, and she met The Illuminating Angel Sullivan Teacher of her life. Sullivan was only twenty years old at the time. When Sullivan met Helen Keller, she felt it was something she couldn't accept—teaching a deaf, blind, and mute child.
Sullivan once had almost the same fate as Helen Keller, who was sent to a school for the deaf to learn how to read with his fingers because his eyesight was so poor.
Probably because of Sullivan's sympathy for Helen Keller, she accepted the fact that Professor Helen Keller was. Teach Helen Keller in the way she empathizes. Teach her how to distinguish the color of the flower, feel the flow of water with her hands and tell her it is water.
For the next nine years, Sullivan confronted Helen Keller, deaf, blind and mute. After nine years of losing her ability to speak, Helen Keller gradually regained her ability to speak, and under Sullivan's careful teaching, she gradually learned to communicate with people.
The first words she learned were "I'm not dumb now."
Although she was completely blind, she read far more books than many people with eyes. She completed seven tomes in her lifetime. Set against the backdrop of her life, she made a film and participated in the performance herself. Although she was deaf and could not hear a sound, she enjoyed much more pleasure from music than anyone with ears.
She doesn't move her lips like we normal people do, but in her own way—she moves her fingers and communicates with herself in the language of marks.
Helen Keller's sense of direction is not as good as ordinary people, and she often loses her way home. In her home, the furniture cannot be moved casually, because once the position changes, she will become overwhelmed. She doesn't have a keen sixth sense, and her sense of taste is the same as our normal human beings.
However, her sense of touch is very sharp, she puts her finger on other people's lips to know what others are saying, and she can also use her fingers to enjoy music.
Although she can't hear or see, she also has many hobbies like us normal people. She loves boating, swimming, and riding horses through the jungle.
The disabled body did not defeat her strong fighting spirit, she did not deliberately care about her deafness, but chose to challenge her fate. Although she did not speak for nine years in her life, she later had a lecture tour that attracted worldwide attention.
Her world was bleak, but her life was glorious and colorful.
The story of her disability inspires those who later had the same experience as her, and inspires those who struggle on the road of life.
