It is a true story of great suffering and miracles. Jin Xiaoyu of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, unfortunately had an eye disability at an early age and was later diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Over the past decade, he has translated 22 books in English, Japanese, and German to fight against fate. During the illness, he also took good care of his mother who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and accompanied her through the last 3 years of her life. Not long ago, his mother died, and his father told such a story to the newspaper, which caused the Internet to swipe the screen. (According to Hangzhou Daily on January 18)

Born in 1972, Jin Xiaoyu was injured in the left eye by a toy pistol at the age of 6, dropped out of high school, and was later diagnosed with manic depression, also known as bipolar disorder, alternating episodes of depression and mania. Even so, he still received a self-examination diploma from the English Department of Zhejiang University.

Since 1992, Jin Xiaoyu has basically had to go to the hospital every year.

By chance, Jin Xiaoyu embarked on the road of translation. One of his mother's classmates, a professor, offered to have the child try to translate at home. Nanda Publishing House sent 8 short stories by American female writer Andrea Barrett and asked him to try them. Jin Xiaoyu translated one of the articles "Ship Fever" as quickly as possible. Since then, he has been out of control, in the past 10 years, he has translated a total of 22 books and nearly 7 million words at the rate of 2 books per year, and the Douban score is more than 8 points, and the response is good.

Opportunity has always favored only prepared minds, and in the years when Jin Xiaoyu dropped out of school at home, he went out to the Zhejiang Library and read all the foreign language novels in the library. His biggest request was to buy books, and he bought more than 200 books of various kinds. He spent six years teaching himself German and Japanese, consolidating his English. Watching foreign language movies on the computer, he first looks at the subtitles with Chinese, and after reading them, he makes a note to block the subtitles and then watch. Watch a movie N times until you fully understand it. This has cultivated a strong talent for translation.

But except for NTU, no one in the translation community knows who Jin Xiaoyu is, and no one knows that these books were translated by a bipolar patient. Jin Xiaoyu once happily told his father, "There are also books translated by me in the Zhejiang library, and many readers have borrowed them!" "It is of course gratifying to go from a reader in the library to an author (translator). Behind it is Jin Xiaoyu's efforts and the loving companionship of his parents.

The child has no friends, his father is his friend, but also his assistant, help him receive foreign samples, buy information books, print samples for him after translation, help him proofread, send sample books...

Mom also chose to accompany at home, and later diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, unable to take care of herself in daily life, and lay in bed for 3 years. This time it was Xiaoyu's turn to take care of her mother, she never lost her temper with her mother, was responsible for buying vegetables, washing dishes after meals, washing her mother's face, holding her mother in and out, and carefully taking care of the last 3 years of her mother's life.

This is the story of the self-improvement of ordinary people, with the tenacity of Jin Xiaoyu and the love that a family cannot be destroyed. Therefore, some netizens said that this is a sad story and a bright story. Parents did not give up on the child, the child did not give up on himself.

Year after year, day after day, that's how the days come about. The story caused the network to brush the screen, and the editor said that the brush was the world's heart. Because "a life so weak and so powerful." "It's awe-inspiring, and the love behind it is also moving." About love, about unhappiness, about redemption, these human emotions are interconnected.

There is a song "Blooming Life", "I want to blossom life, like standing on the top of the rainbow, like walking through the brilliant galaxy, with power beyond the ordinary." Jin Xiaoyu used his indomitability to stretch out his vigorous life and show his strength beyond the ordinary.

There are no geniuses in this world, only the unremitting efforts of ordinary people. Every indomitable life is exuding its own wonderfulness.
