[Opening Lightning Strike Edition Beginning]
In the glamorous city, I, a post-90s model who was once chased by flash, are now walking on a completely different path in life. The once gorgeous stage and shining magnesium lights have long become an afterimage in my memory. I used to be the best among white-collar workers, but in the face of the impermanence of fate, I was forced to remove all my halo. Because, I inherited my father's disease, a rare disease that made me unable to walk normally.
That day, I was busy in the office as usual, when suddenly a sharp pain came from my leg and I fell to the ground, unable to move. My colleagues gathered around in a panic, but I could only tell them with a wry smile: "It's okay, I'll just take a break." "However, I knew in my heart that this time was unusual.
After going to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor's words hit me like a bolt from the blue: "You have inherited your father's disease, which is a rare and incurable disease that causes muscle atrophy and eventually inability to walk normally." "I couldn't believe my ears, how could this be? How could I be so healthy, so energetic, and all of a sudden?
When I returned home, I sat alone in front of the window, looking at the bustling crowd outside the window, and an indescribable sadness welled up in my heart. I knew my life was going to change forever. I can no longer walk the streets as freely as I used to, and I can no longer stand in front of the camera in beautiful clothes to show my style. I had to rely on a wheelchair or crutches to support my crumbling body.
However, life doesn't stop because of your misfortunes. I had to learn to face reality and learn to accept this cruel truth. I started to try to live in a new way, to adapt to this new self. Although the process is full of hardships and pains, I believe that as long as there is light in my heart, I can light the way forward.
In the process, I met many people who gave me endless love and support. I have my family, who have always been by my side, helping me through one difficult time after another with love and patience, my friends, who reached out when I needed it most, and their actions to show me that I was not alone, and those strangers who I never knew and who made me feel the warmth of the world with their smiles and kindness.
Now, I am able to face my illness calmly and welcome each new day with an optimistic attitude. Although I can no longer walk as freely as I used to, I can still experience the beauty of the world in my own way. I will continue to work hard to live and use my experience to inspire more people and let them know that no matter how difficult life is, as long as we have light in our hearts, there is hope.

Through the pain, I learned to be strong and courageous. Every time I look at my emaciated self in the mirror, I tell myself, "You can't just be defeated." "So, I started learning to use a wheelchair and learn how to live independently without the help of others.
Once, when I was shopping at the supermarket, I accidentally knocked over a row of shelves. The people around me looked at me strangely, and I felt extremely embarrassed and helpless. At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in my ears: "It's okay, I'll help you clean up together." "I looked up and saw a strange girl looking at me with a smile. Her eyes were full of understanding and encouragement, and at that moment, I seemed to see a ray of hope.
Later, I joined a volunteer team made up of people with disabilities. There, I met many people like me, who were physically handicapped but mentally resilient. Together, we participate in various public welfare activities to help those in need. In the process, I felt more joy and satisfaction than I had ever felt before.
Once, our team went to a primary school in a remote mountainous area to do volunteer teaching activities. When the children there saw us coming, they all gathered around us excitedly. I told them my story and told them to face whatever they encountered. The children listened with relish, and burst into applause from time to time. At that moment, I felt that my existence had a greater meaning.
As time went on, my condition gradually deteriorated, but I didn't give up my love of life because of this. I still insist on participating in various activities and using my experience to inspire more people. I also set up a public account to share my life and insights, hoping to bring some strength to those who are also in trouble.
In the process, I have gained a lot of sincere friendships and endless support. My family and friends are always there for me, giving me endless love and encouragement. Their support strengthened my belief that as long as there is light in my heart, there is hope.
Today, I am able to face my illness calmly and welcome each new day with an optimistic attitude. I know that life will not always be smooth sailing, but as long as we have the courage to face and challenge, we will definitely be able to find our own piece of sky.
In the days to come, I will continue to work hard to live and inspire more people with my experience. I believe that as long as we have light in our hearts, we can illuminate the way forward and lead to a better future.
