Sang Lan, a famous gymnast, is known as China's "King of Vault". But it was before July 21, 1998, it was in New York, the United States, the fourth friendly games of the gymnastics arena. Just a pre-competition training, just a chance, Sang Lan's a not done hand-over-hand action, the end of her gymnastics career, but she is still "famous", or even more "famous". Let Sang Lan "famous", is her spirit, her perseverance, is her always bright smile. 17 years old flower season, even if the injured flowers are still beautiful.
Sanlan's injuries were unusually severe: the fifth-seventh cervical vertebrae were open, comminuted fractures, 75% dislocation, serious damage to the central nervous system, and loss of consciousness in both hands and below the chest. The U.S. sent caregivers were very dedicated: from the Nassau County Medical Center on Long Island to the most prestigious Montserrat Rehabilitation Center in the New York metropolitan area, the medical experts came up with the best treatment plan and used the best medicines.

But the most outstanding performance is still Sang Lan: from the moment she woke up, she did not shed a single tear; from the moment she faced the public gaze again, her face was always floating with a bright smile. 17-year-old girl, 17-year-old innocent let a person sigh smile, conquered the United States, conquered the China, conquered the world ...... ten months later, the basic stability of the injury Sang Lan finally returned to the daydreaming of the motherland, in the China Rehabilitation Research Center to continue to receive rehabilitation treatment.
It was a much longer and more grueling journey.
Sanlan held on. She endured great pain and sent caregivers actively cooperate, by paraplegia may cause urinary and respiratory infections, pressure sores, spinal scoliosis and other complications have been effectively controlled and corrected, postural hypotension has been alleviated, the name of the joints to maintain a good degree of mobility, muscle strength began to recover, the wheelchair has been able to swing themselves out of the very far; Sanglan's ability to take care of themselves has greatly improved, she can put on and take off clothes on their own, socks and shoes, can eat, wash her face, brush her teeth and take a bath independently, is learning English, can operate a computer, and can complete the conversion from a wheelchair to a bed ......

Example 2: Beethoven
On the evening of May 7, 1824, in the famous music city of Vienna, a historic great moment that is inscribed in the glorious annals of the art of music. In this city of art, where etiquette is the order of the day, and where royalty arrives, there were but three rounds of applause, on this night, had it not been for the intervention of the police, there would have been ten, twenty rounds of applause...
What a magnificent spectacle this was! What an unforgettable moment it was! Here, for the first time, a monumental musical masterpiece appeared on the European music scene.
Roman Roland writes with excitement: "Dusk is approaching, and a thunderstorm is brewing with it. Then came the heavy clouds, full of lightning, blackening the night, carrying with them the great storm that was the beginning of the Ninth Symphony. Suddenly, when the wind and the rain were raging, the darkness cracked, and the night was driven away from the sky, and by force of will the clearness of day was given back to us".
Yes, when one awakens from the world-shaking sound, when one rises from the roar of the joyous voice, the outburst that follows a moment of silence is so spectacular that it eclipses the majesty of royal protocol. People cheered and applauded wildly, rushed onto the stage in tears and tears, and ran toward the master who had forged for mankind such amazing masterpieces of art...
But who could have imagined that Beethoven, the author of this great work, the composer who had created heroes peak after hero peak in the world of music, would turn his back on the frenzied audience and not hear it? When the bass-baritone Unger took his hand and turned around, he did not hear, but "saw" the audience's intense outburst of enthusiasm.
The composer, who was deaf in both ears, fainted on the spot... From this thrilling opening night, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony has expanded and continued into infinite space and time, to the extent that many musical artists have been eager to praise the masterpiece in the same breath.
Schumann said, "I have never been so enamored of a symphony as I am of this one."
Example 3: Bareni
When she was crippled by illness as a child, her mother's heart was like a knife twisting, but she managed to hold back her grief. She thought that what the child needed most now was encouragement and help, not tears from his mother. The mother came to Bareni's hospital bed, took his hand and said: "Son, mom believes that you are a person with ambition, I hope that you can use your own legs, on the road of life bravely!
Good Bareni, will you be able to promise mom?" Mother's words, like a hammer hit Bareni's heart, he "wow", jumped into his mother's arms and cried. From then on, his mother practiced walking and gymnastics for him whenever she had time, often sweating profusely. One time when her mother got a bad cold, she thought to herself that motherhood is not only about words, but also about teaching by example.
Despite a high fever, she got out of bed and helped Bareni practice walking as planned. Sweat like soybeans dripped down her mother's face, she wiped it with a dry towel, and, gritting her teeth, she helped Bareni complete the day's exercise program. The physical activity made up for the inconvenience caused by his disability.
Mother's role model, but also y educated Bareni, he finally withstood the fate of his harsh blows. He studied hard and was always at the top of his class. Finally, with excellent results into the University of Vienna Medical School. After graduating from the university, Barenie with all the energy, dedicated to the study of otological neurology. Finally, finally on the podium of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
Example 4: Hua Luogeng
After graduating from junior high school, Hua Luogeng was enrolled in the Shanghai Chinese Vocational School, and dropped out because of the tuition fees, so he only had a junior high school diploma.
After that, he began to study on his own, and spent five years learning all the math courses in high school and the lower grades of college.
In 1928, he contracted typhoid fever, which saved his life with the care of his wife, but left him with a disabled left leg.
When he was 20, he was asked to work at Tsinghua University after he made a splash with his thesis on mathematics.
Since 1931, Hua Luogeng worked and studied at Tsinghua University, completing the entire math department in a year and a half. He taught himself English, French and German, and published many papers in foreign magazines.In the summer of 1936, Hua Luogeng was sent to Cambridge University in England for further study, and published more than a dozen papers in two years, which aroused the appreciation of the international mathematical community.Hua returned to China from a visit to the United Kingdom in 1938, and wrote his famous book The Theory of the Stacked Primes with great difficulty in a cowshed-like attic on the outskirts of Kunming.
Example 5: Wilma Rudolph
Despite being crippled by polio, Wilma Rudolph, a young girl who was stricken with pneumonia and polio as a child and had to walk on one foot in an orthopedic shoe with an iron frame, won three gold medals in track and field at the 1960 Rome Olympics. The Olympic legend was born on June 23, 1940, the child of a family of railroad workers in Tennessee, USA.
As a child, she was struck by pneumonia and red fever, which caused high fever and polio, leaving her left leg atrophied and unable to walk, and she had to rely on an orthopedic shoe with an iron frame to get around.
Before the age of 11, she couldn't walk, and could barely follow others in her shoes.
When she was 11 years old, she took her shoes off for the first time, and followed her older brothers barefoot in a game of basketball.
By the age of 12, she had gotten rid of the shoes completely. After removing her shoes, her athletic talent gradually developed, and it was only four years later, at the age of 16, that she was named to the U.S. Olympic sprint team for the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. In her first Olympics, she failed to qualify for the finals in the 200 meters in the individual event, but she was a member of the U.S. women's 4×100-meter relay team, which won a bronze medal for the U.S. team.
She received an athletic scholarship to Tennessee State University, went to college and trained again, and was selected for the U.S. Olympic team in Rome,*** winning gold medals in the 100 meters, 200 meters, and the 4×100 meter relay in three races, all by wide margins over her rivals. Because of her light and beautiful running posture and coordinated pace, she was known as the "Black Antelope" by the Italians.
She retired from track and field in 1962 and began a career as a teacher and coach, setting up a foundation in her name in the 1980s to train young athletes.
The "Black Gazelle" died of brain cancer on November 12, 1994, at the age of 54. In 1983, she was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame, and in 1993 was honored with the American Sports Award.
On July 14, 2004, the U.S. Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp in her honor. With a face value of $0.23, a pane of 20, and a mintage of 100 million, this is the 2004 edition of the USPS's Distinguished Americans series of stamps, and the fifth stamp in the series.
Example 6: Edison
In Edison's invention of the light bulb he failed many times, when he used more than a thousand kinds of materials to make the filament, his assistant said to him: "You have failed more than a thousand times, success has become remote, or give up!" But Edison said, "So far I've had a good harvest, at least I've found out that there are more than a thousand materials that can't be used to make a filament." Finally, he succeeded after more than six thousand experiments.
We can imagine what we would be doing now if Edison had given up when his assistant urged him to stop experimenting. Maybe we still have to light oil lamps the size of a grain of bean to illuminate at night. In fact, Edison's failure of each experiment can be regarded as a setback. If you do the math, Edison's invention of the electric light was met with more than 6,000 setbacks, which is an amazing number!
Example 7: Zhang Haidi
Zhang Haidi was born in Jinan in the fall of 1955, and was paralyzed from the age of 5 with spinal cord disease. From then on, Zhang Haidi began her unique life. She was unable to go to school, so she finished her secondary school course at home, and at the age of 15, Haidi followed her parents and was sent down to the rural area of Liaocheng, Shandong Province, to teach her children.

Example 8: Franklin D. Roosevelt
The 32nd President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt (Franklin D. Roosevelt) (1933-1945), has always been regarded as one of the greatest presidents in the history of the United States, and was the most popular and beloved president of the United States in the 20th century, and the only one to be re-elected in American history. was the only person in U.S. history to serve four consecutive terms as president, serving for 12 years from March 1933 until his death in April 1945.
Had won high approval ratings from the American public for a record 7 weeks. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born in New York. Father James Roosevelt was a millionaire. Mother Sarah Delano was 26 years younger than her father. Roosevelt attended Harvard University and Columbia University.
He was a New York State Senator in 1910, Undersecretary of the Navy in 1913, crippled by polio in 1921, Governor of New York in 1928, and President in 1932. In 1932, he won the presidential election and was re-elected in 1936, 1940 and 1944 because of the success of the New Deal in dealing with the economic crisis.
At the beginning of World War II, the United States adopted a policy of non-involvement, but took a hard line against Hitler and supported the Allies with the Lend-Lease Act, and at the end of 1941, the United States entered the war. Roosevelt, on behalf of the U.S., participated in two meetings of the "Big Three" of the Allied Powers. The Roosevelt administration put forward the principle of unconditional surrender of the Axis powers and implemented it.
Roosevelt proposed the idea of establishing the United Nations, which was also implemented, and he died of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 63. On April 12, 1945, one of the giants of modern history, Franklin D. Roosevelt, passed away. Two months after the Yalta Conference, a physically and mentally exhausted Roosevelt died quietly while recuperating at Georgia Springs.
On January 30, 1882, Franklin Roosevelt was born into a prominent family on the Hudson River in New York. Fate blessed him with handsome features, a kindly disposition and a gift for intelligence. He entered the famous Groton Public School at the age of 14, came to Harvard University four years later, and began his political career by joining the **** and Partisan Club in 1901.
That was also the year his cousin Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest president in U.S. history. Roosevelt was determined to emulate his cousin's entry into politics and found a hit in 1910. He intended to run for the New York City Senate, but as the Democratic candidate.
When he told his presidential uncle, who was a **** and a partisan, about the decision, the other man angrily cursed, "You vile brat! You traitor ......" But Franklin Roosevelt did not change course. He rode in a red automobile, made more than a dozen speeches a day, and was eventually elected senator from New York City.
In 1913, President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy, a post he held with distinction for seven years.In 1920, Roosevelt was nominated as a candidate for vice president. Although this campaign was lost, his light as a rising political star was not diminished. Intelligent, capable, broad-minded, and y popular, it seemed that nothing could stop this 39-year-old man from reaching the top of the political heap. But that's when disaster struck.
In the summer of 1921, Roosevelt was on vacation with his family on Campobello Island when, after fighting a forest fire, he jumped into the frigid waters and came down with polio. Fever, pain, numbness, and the prospect of permanent disability did not cause Roosevelt to give up his ideals and beliefs, and he continued to exercise in an attempt to regain his ability to walk and stand, and the Georgia hot springs where he used to heal were known as "the place where the laughs are heard".
He returned to politics on crutches in 1924 and became governor of New York in 1928. Political opponents often used his disability to attack him, something Roosevelt had to wrestle with throughout his life, but he always managed to turn it to his advantage with a great political record, great eloquence and plenty of energy.
The first time he ran for office he told the people through a spokesman: "A governor is not necessarily an acrobat. We didn't elect him because he can do a forward roll or a backward roll. He's doing brain work and finding ways to benefit the people." Relying on such perseverance and optimism, Roosevelt finally became the 32nd President of the United States in 1933, beating Hoover by a wide margin.
Example 9: Ostrovsky
Fate was cruel to Ostrovsky: he studied in elementary school for three years, and his youth was lost to galloping horses and bullets. 16 years old, he suffered serious injuries to his abdomen and head, and lost the sight in his right eye, and at the age of 20, he was bedridden due to arthrosclerosis. Faced with the daunting challenges of fate, he felt y that "there is nothing more terrible in life than falling behind."
Ostrovsky fought valiantly with destiny: he did not want to lie on the disabled honorary soldier's merit book to the motherland and the people to reach out to, he used boiling energy to read all the courses of the correspondence university, hungrily read the masterpieces of Russian and world literature. Books beckoned him forward, books accompanied him through thick and thin.
When Ostrovsky's cultural and literary literacy reached a certain level, he wrote a novel describing the heroic warriors in Kotovsky's army and sent it to a magazine, but it was not adopted. But he did not get discouraged, and he understood y: it is rare to be successful. People often only see the laurels on the head and the garlands around the necks of the successful, but ignore the pain, cold shoulder and even discrimination they experienced before they succeeded.
Therefore, some of the people who climbed to the ideal peak, once encountered difficulties and obstacles, will be afraid to move forward, once encountered cold, discrimination, will be halfway to give up, exclaiming that life is not the right time. Ostrovsky endured the pain of the disease, quietly to the recognized goal of climbing. 1932, he finally completed the book "how steel is made".
In response, he exclaimed, "The doors of life are open to me!" "The book is my warrior!" Stand and fight with a gun, lie and fight with a pen, and die and fight with a book. This is the life of Ostrovsky as a warrior and writer.
Located at 14 Gorky Street in Moscow? s Ostrovsky Museum, was originally assigned to Ostrovsky's new home by the Soviet government. At that time, although he was only 32 years old, he had lost his eyesight, his limbs were paralyzed, his whole body could not move, his hands lost the ability to write, and it was extremely difficult even to turn his head.
As he wrote in his autobiography, "Physical strength was almost entirely lost, and all that remained was a fervent desire to do something more or less for his party and the working class." He did not want to spend his limited life in idleness and boredom, and a strong sense of historical responsibility made it difficult for him to put down his new fighting weapon, the pen.
According to the doctors' diagnosis at the time, Ostrovsky could live for another five years, but he himself was very clear about the severity of his condition. He once told a nurse, "I know the seriousness of my condition, and I regret that there is so much work left to be done."
A month before his death, he had clearly felt that death was coming for him, but he did not ask to see a doctor, let alone stop his pen to recuperate, but desperately worked overtime and fought with death for time. He asked his secretaries to work "three shifts" at his bedside, where he lay down to dictate, his wife and aides typed for him, and he himself refused to rest for a moment.
Ostrovsky's mind was a horse that galloped across the vast wilderness of the Ukrainian-Polish border, and every letter he dictated was like a relentless bullet fired at the invading German bandits. As his wife, Raisa Palfrevna, recounted in her memoirs, "These days, the sound of the typewriter was like a machine gun firing."
Ostrovsky died after just seven months in his new residence, but he completed another of his long masterpieces, "Born of the Storm," with astonishing perseverance. In a letter to Stalin, he wrote: "My whole life will be devoted to the Bolshevik education of the young generation of the socialist fatherland until the last heartbeat."
On Dec. 20, 1936, six days after completing the first volume of "Born of the Storm," the great ****ist's heart stopped beating.
Example 10: Kuang Heng
During the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng, as a young boy, was very diligent and studious. Since his family was very poor, he had to do a lot of work during the day to earn a living. Only at night could he sit down and study in peace. However, he could not afford to buy candles, and once it was dark, he could not read. Kuang Heng was heartbroken by this wasted time and suffered greatly inside.
His neighbor's family was very rich, and at night they lit candles in several rooms, illuminating the house. One day, Kuangheng summoned up courage and said to his neighbor, "I want to read at night, but I can't afford to buy candles, so can I borrow an inch of your house?" The neighbor, who had always despised people poorer than his family, sarcastically said, "If you are so poor that you can't afford to buy candles, why do you need to read!" Kuang Heng was very angry when he heard this, but he was even more determined to study well.
Kuang Heng returned home and quietly cut a small hole in the wall, through which the light from the neighbor's candle came. With this weak light, he read books hungrily, and gradually finished all the books at home.
After reading these books, Kuang Heng realized that the knowledge he had acquired was far from enough, and his desire to read more books became even more urgent. There was a large family nearby with a large collection of books. One day, Kuang Heng appeared in front of the house with his bedroll rolled up. He said to the owner, "Please take me in, I will work for your family for nothing without pay. Just let me read all the books in your house." The master was touched by his spirit and granted his request to borrow books.
Kuangheng was such a diligent student that he later became the prime minister of Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty and became a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty.
