Daily Essay: Seven Happy Days
I volunteered for a week. At that time, volunteer activities in Chengdu were in full swing. I just couldn't kill time, so I signed up. The volunteer committee told me that it takes a week to chat with an AIDS patient, which they called "Warm Care Action".
After half a month's training, we entered a humble hospital in Liu Yin Street. Although I heard from the doctor during the training that ordinary contact will not infect AIDS, I am still a little nervous.
The AIDS patient who will chat with me is a young man who almost never talks. He is one year younger than me, and he came out of the art school.
I walked into the room of an AIDS patient named Su Min. He leaned quietly on the hospital bed, motionless, looking out of the window.
"I am a volunteer, and I will come to chat with you every day for the next seven days. If you have anything you want to talk to me about, we can talk about it. "
What responded to me was awkward silence.
For a long time, Su Min turned around and stared at me coldly: "Don't you think it's a waste of time?" After saying this, he turned his head back.
I became angry from embarrassment, turned and ran out of the ward, completely ignoring the inquiry of Director Liu of the Volunteer Committee behind me.
The next day, Director Liu called me and told me that Su Min was actually a very talented young man, but he was accidentally infected with HIV during a blood transfusion. Director Liu hopes I can stick to it, because we are much happier than Su Min.
Put the phone down, I stood up and prepared to go to the hospital. Before going out, I saw the drawing board I had put in the corner before. I thought about it and put it on my back.
When she arrived at the hospital, Su Min was still alone, with no one to accompany her.
"I know you don't want to talk, and I don't want to. But my task is to stay with me for seven days, and I have to find something to kill time. I can't see your face, so I draw your back. "
When I finished painting, it was time for me to leave. I took off the drawing paper and put it beside him-"for you" and left the hospital. On the third day, when I walked into the ward, Su Min still looked out of the window and heard me come in. He turned around and finally smiled on his pale face: "You draw well."
"Not good, very good." I paid him back.
"I also learned to draw before." Su Min said flatly.
"Are you? Then you can draw, or you can draw me today. " I'm a little presumptuous. "I have a drawing board anyway."
"ok."
On the third day, we said these words, but Su Min drew a picture for me.
On the fourth day, we didn't draw lots. Su Min told me his story. After his illness was diagnosed, his family sent him here. No one has come to see him since then.
He counted the leaves outside the window every day until he counted them for 290 days, and no one came to see him. That person is me.
On the fifth day, I suggested that Su Min and I draw a picture together. I said, "We can't go out. We can paint the scenery outside the window. As long as it is visible, we can draw it. " We painted the garden outside the window, and the sun shone from the treetops, leaving mottled shadows.
On the sixth day, we drew birds on the tree and fragrant flowers in the garden.
On the seventh day, Su Min and I finished painting the scenery outside the window: several naive children were playing games in the garden.
On this day, I also want to tell Su Min that after today, I won't come every day, because my volunteer activity is over. When I left, I said, "Su Min, can you give me a hug?"
He hesitated, but I hugged Su Min without hesitation, and then said softly, "Goodbye."
A month later, when I walked into Su Min's ward again, Su Min's bed was empty.
The nurse told me that Su Min died a week ago. They gave me a letter, which Su Min left for me.
Thank you. In the days when I stayed here to die, I counted the leaves outside the window every day until one day you came to see me. Considering that we are as young as you, but I can never live a good life like you, I am full of fear of death. There you are, making me feel warm with your smile.
Thank you for the painting, too. I took it with me when I left. I hope I can see these paintings in heaven, and I can continue to paint the scenery of heaven.
Thank you for the happiness you have given me these seven days.
I took a deep breath when I walked out of the hospital.
I only gave Su Min seven days, but I never thought that I gave him the last happiness.
Abstract of a book every day: "Faith" produces miracles.
Remember another word that can bring you amazing success-"miracle". People with "positive thinking" believe that any good thing will really happen, and he believes in miracles.
A "negative thinking" man married a "positive thinking" woman. Just in time for the economic recession, the couple, like most families, are in special financial distress. Men often complain: "If we can overcome this difficulty, there is hope for the future, but it is impossible." However, a wife with a positive attitude is different from her husband. She said, "We should be able to solve this problem. That's not a big problem, it will definitely work! "
The two love each other, and the wife pulls her husband to "think positively", maintaining the belief and optimistic spirit between them. When many people are unemployed, this person is not unemployed. A wife's trust in her husband plays a great role.
His name is Henry and he works in a shop that mainly sells British wool products. Once he opened the bundle of goods and found a folded note on it, which said, "Seek a miracle and it will happen." Who does he want to be? Why did you write such a thing? Just throw the note in the trash can.
However, an idea stopped him. He wanted to show it to his wife Hailian. She always liked such nonsense, so he put it in his pocket.
That night, he took out the note and put it on the table.
"There is a very interesting thing. Today, in the box I opened, an English freak put this thing in. It must be someone with a brain problem. "
After reading it, the wife stared at the note and thought for a while.
"No, Henry, the person who put this paper in the box is not a freak, let alone a person with a brain problem. This person may have experienced difficulties like us, but this unique method has helped him overcome them ... There are many things that we still don't know how to solve, so let's try a small problem first, let's pray for a miracle! "
"Come on. Only in fairy tales can there be miracles, and miracles are as unreal as dreams. In this era of science, miracles will not happen. "
After the husband said this, he began the usual quarrel between husband and wife.
Hailian went to the bookshelf and said, "Look at what our friend Mr. Webster said about miracles."
She looked up the word "miracle" in Webster's dictionary. Then he said happily, "The incredible things written on it are not unscientific." Maybe we call what is beyond our understanding a miracle and what we can understand scientific knowledge. Planes used to be miracles and incredible things. The same is true of electric lights and telephones.
"The treatment methods or mental phenomena beyond modern medical knowledge are now called miracles and will become part of scientific knowledge in the future. In the end, it will be confirmed that faith is part of creating all scientific laws. "
Hearing this, the husband seems to gradually understand what she wants to express.
"You are so smart." Henry only drinks. "Maybe you are right."
So the two decided to pray for an incredible thing-a miracle-with a relatively small question. The wife is confident and positive, but the husband is a little insecure in pursuing miracles.
But even without great confidence, positive thinking still has considerable power. Matthew wrote:
"As long as you have faith as big as mustard seed, there is nothing you can't do." Soon after, Henry and Hailian experienced a very incredible thing, which made them extremely happy. The results of their two attempts to "pursue miracles and miracles will happen" began to appear.
Although this is not the result they want, nor the result they think they need, it does solve their problem. So Henry began to really believe in miracles.
Such a miracle will happen in their lives because Hailian, who has a positive attitude, throws away the impossible idea and believes that the miracle will happen eventually.
Finally, Henry naturally became a very outstanding positive thinker. For him, such a change is by no means easy. However, I believe that a person will become what he thinks and what he thinks will happen, and he can share positive thoughts with his wife. The two became a couple with "positive thinking" and achieved the success they expected.
