1983, Zhang Haidi went to Beijing to attend the National Outstanding Youth Congress. The leading comrades of the Central Committee received her, and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League awarded her the honorary title of "Excellent Communist Youth League Member". The CPC Central Committee called on the people of the whole country to learn from her.
Zhang Haidi underwent three major operations from the age of 5 to 10. After the third operation, she could only lie still and didn't even dare to twist her neck. How does she study? She remembers lying in bed and watching the children in the street go to school through the mirror. Isn't it a good idea to let the mirror help you read? She asked her father to put the book on the pillow and put a mirror parallel to her eyes on the table, so that she could read from the mirror. The words in the mirror are reversed, so is the order. You should read a page or even a line for a long time. After a long time, the mirror will become a black mass. Only by closing your eyes for a while can you continue reading. It was through this mirror book that she learned Chinese Pinyin, looked it up in the dictionary, learned about new words one by one, learned about Lei Feng, learned about Gao Yubao who wrote "Midnight Cockcrow" but didn't go to school one day, and learned about Paul who was disabled by the Soviet revolution in "How Steel was Tempered".
Later, Zhang Haidi studied acupuncture, saw a doctor, finished college courses and mastered English. With this perseverance and fighting spirit, he became a writer and translator.
