Although the god of fate robbed her of her sight and hearing, she overcame her doom with diligence and perseverance, and her name became a symbol of perseverance.
Keller of childhood was melancholy
Helen Keller had a bitter, monotonous childhood. On June 27, 1880, in a small town called Tascombia in the southern state of Alabama, Helen Keller was born. All people could not have imagined that bad luck would come so quickly on this young life. Helen was less than 19 months old when an acute cerebral congestion struck her. She had a high fever and was unconscious for days. When she woke up, the adults found that little Helen's eyes were blind and her ears were deaf. Since then, she has lived in darkness and dead silence. As a child, Helen did not know that the world was sound and colorful. She grew up carefree and cared for everyone, thinking that everyone was like her, it was dark in front of her, and she didn't understand that people communicate in language. At the age of 5, Helen began to realize that she was different from others. She found that the rest of the family didn't gesture like she did, but instead talked with their mouths. Sometimes she stood between the two and touched their lips. She didn't know what they were talking about, and she couldn't make a voice with meaning herself. She wanted to speak, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make others understand her intentions. This made her extremely annoyed, so much so that she often ran around the house, kicking and shouting in frustration. Slowly, the little friends did not dare to play with her.
When Helen was about to turn 7 years old, the caring teacher Anne Sullivan came to her world and changed her destiny ever since. On his first day as a tutor at Helen's house, Sullivan gave Helen a doll and slowly and repeatedly spelled the word "d-o-l-l" (doll) on Helen's little hand with his fingers. Li Lun immediately became interested in this game. She imitated the teacher's movements over and over again, and began to understand that everything in the world has its own name, and began to know her name "Helen Keller" (Helen Keller).

Helen's "mute" was caused by hearing loss, and her vocal cords were not damaged. At the age of 10, Helen began to learn to speak. Unable to hear other people's and her own voices, she could only use her hands to feel the movement of her throat and lips when the teacher pronounced the words, and then imitate and correct the sounds thousands of times. When Helen first said the phrase "it's hot" like a normal person, Helen and Sullivan realized in their surprise that there was no more difficulty in the face of their tenacious perseverance. In addition to her bookishness, Helen also enjoys horseback riding, swimming, boating, and performing arts. With an indomitable will, Helen learned to lip read, hear Mark through her "hand," and Twain "recite" short stories for her. Reading books not only made Helen a scholar who learned to be rich in five cars, but also cultivated her beautiful soul.
In 1902, with the help of a literary critic and an English teacher, Helen completed her debut novel, The Story of My Life. This autobiographical work, with its realism touching and vivid writing, caused a huge sensation as soon as it came out. In June 1904, after graduating from Radcliffe Women's College, Helen joined Sullivan, a teacher of knowledge, in the cause of charity for the deaf and blind. Two years later, Helen was appointed chairman of the Massachusetts Committee for the Blind. At her initiative and influence, the U.S. government founded the first national library for the blind in 1913.
In 1921, through her active activities, the American Blind Foundation, a national civic organization in the United States, was founded. Through writing and speaking, she arouses the sense of self-improvement of people with disabilities, boosts their morale, and enhances their confidence, courage and strength to overcome difficulties. During the war, she went to more than 70 hospitals to comfort the disabled soldiers. She has traveled all over the world and won praise from all over the world for what she did.
