Examples of celebrities who have experienced difficulties but are optimistic.
Zhang Haidi, born in Jinan in autumn of 1955. At the age of five, he suffered from myelopathy and was completely paralyzed from the chest down. From then on, Zhang Haidi began her unique life. Unable to go to school, she taught herself middle school courses at home. /kloc-When she was 0/5 years old, Heidi followed her parents and sent her to the countryside of Liaocheng (Shandong) to be a teacher for her children. She also taught herself acupuncture techniques and treated villagers for free. Later, Zhang Haidi taught himself many foreign languages and worked as a radio repairman. Facing the cruel challenge of fate, Zhang Haidi didn't feel depressed and sink. She fought against the disease with tenacious perseverance and perseverance, withstood severe tests and was full of confidence in life. Although she didn't have a chance to enter the school, she studied hard, finished all the courses in primary and secondary schools, taught herself college English, Japanese, German and Esperanto, and studied the courses of universities and graduate students. From 65438 to 0983, Zhang Haidi began to engage in literary creation, translated hundreds of thousands of English novels, such as The Beach Clinic, and compiled books, such as Windows Open to the Sky and Questioning Life and Dreams in Wheelchairs. Among them, Dream in a Wheelchair was published in Japan and South Korea, and Pursuing Life was published less than half a year and reprinted three times, winning the national "Five One Projects" book award. Before The Pursuit of Life, this prize has never been awarded to prose works. Recently, a 300,000-word novel, Extremely Top, will be published soon. Since 1983, Zhang Haidi has created and translated more than 1 10,000 words. In order to make greater contributions to society, she taught herself more than a dozen medical monographs, consulted experienced doctors, learned acupuncture and other medical skills, and treated the masses for free 10000 person-times. 1983 China youth daily published "be a meteor and leave the light to the world". Zhang Haidi became famous in China and won two reputations, one is "New Lei Feng in 1980s" and the other is "Contemporary Paul". Zhang Haidi, with the belief that "to live is to be a person who is beneficial to society", followed Paul's example and bravely dedicated his light and heat to the people. With her words and deeds, she answered the questions of outlook on life and values that hundreds of millions of young people are very concerned about. Deng Xiaoping wrote an inscription: "Learn from Zhang Haidi and be a new capitalist with ideals, morality, culture and discipline!" Subsequently, Zhang Haidi became a moral force. Zhang Haidi is now a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and works in Shandong Writers Association, engaged in creation and translation. Zhang Haidi said: "I am like a meteor, and I want to leave the light to the world." With this ideal, she studied and worked with extraordinary perseverance and sang a hymn of life. "To live is to do things for the people." Zhang Haidi said so and did the same. 1970, when she was 15 years old, she followed her parents to live in the countryside. In the countryside, she thinks of others and works for people everywhere. She found that there was no music teacher in primary school, so she took the initiative to teach singing at school. After class, I also help students organize self-study groups, give them haircuts, button buttons and get dressed. She found that there was a shortage of doctors and medicines in the village, so she decided to study medical knowledge and technology, and used her pocket money to buy medical books, thermometers, stethoscopes and commonly used medicines. She has finished reading medical books such as Acupuncture, Human Anatomy, Internal Medicine and Practical Pediatrics. When learning acupuncture, in order to experience the sense of acupuncture, she practiced acupuncture repeatedly on herself. In just a few years, she actually became a young local "famous doctor". As long as anyone asks for a doctor, she always receives him warmly. When the seriously ill patient can't move, she sits in a wheelchair and walks to the door to give the patient an injection and take medicine. There was an old man named Geng, who was unable to speak for six years because of the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis and was paralyzed for three years. He was never cured. Zhang Haidi encouraged Uncle Geng to enhance his confidence in overcoming the disease mentally, while reading a lot of books and carefully treating Uncle Geng. Later, Uncle Geng was finally able to talk and walk. At this time, Zhang Haidi deeply realized the happiness of serving the people. Comrade Zhang Haidi regards doing things for the society and the people as his greatest happiness. Her lofty spirit shines with the light of productism. Some people say that life is the happiest if you eat well, dress well and play well. In my opinion, the happiest thing in this world is to work hard, make a determined effort, create wealth with your own hands and contribute everything to the cause of human liberation-* * * capitalism. American Olympic hero: Wilma Williams was disabled by polio, but she suffered from pneumonia and polio when she was a child. A little girl who needed iron braces to walk still won three gold medals in the track and field events of 1960 Rome Olympic Games. The Olympic legend was born on June 23rd, 1940/kloc-0, the child of a railroad worker's family in Tennessee, USA. When I was a child, pneumonia and scarlet fever caused high fever and polio, resulting in atrophy of my left leg and inability to walk. She had to rely on iron braces to correct her shoes to barely walk. 1 1 years ago, she couldn't walk, so she could only follow others reluctantly in iron shoes. 1 1 years old, she took off her iron shoes for the first time and played basketball with her brothers barefoot. By the age of 12, she has completely got rid of the iron shoes. After taking off her iron shoes, her athletic talent gradually developed. Only four years later, at the age of 16, she was selected for the American 1956 Melbourne Olympic sprint team and participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. She failed to reach the final in the 200m individual event, but she was a member of the American women's 4x100m relay team and won the bronze medal for the American team. She won a sports scholarship from Tennessee State University, entered the university and received retraining. She was successfully selected for the Olympic team in Rome, USA. * * * won three gold medals in the100m, 200m and 4x100m relay, all of which were far ahead of her opponents. Because of its light and graceful running posture and coordinated pace, it is known as "black antelope" by Italians. 1962, she retired from the track and field competition and began to teach. In the 1980s, she set up a foundation named after her to train young athletes. 1994165438+1October 12. Black antelope died of brain cancer at the age of 54. 1983 was elected to the American Olympic Hall of Fame, and 1993 won the American Sports Award. On July 14, 2004, the US Postal Service issued a commemorative stamp for her. This stamp has a face value of US$ 0.23, with 20 stamps in one edition and a circulation of 1 100 million. This is the 2004 edition of the outstanding American series stamps of the US Postal Service, and it is also the fifth stamp in this series. Stephen Hawking is a very famous physicist of our time. After searching for a long time, I can only find traditional Chinese characters, but I can basically understand them. Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford on 19421October 8, which happened to be the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death. Probably because he was born in the era of World War II, he was particularly fascinated by models when he was a child. When he was a teenager, he not only liked making model planes and ships, but also made many different kinds of war games with his classmates, reflecting his desire to study and manipulate things. This desire drove him to pursue a doctorate and made great achievements in the study of black holes and cosmology. Hawking made up his mind to study physics and astronomy when he was thirteen or fourteen. At the age of seventeen, he won a natural science scholarship and successfully entered Oxford University. After graduating from bachelor's degree, he transferred to Cambridge University to study cosmology. Soon, he found himself suffering from Luger's disease, which can cause muscle atrophy. At first, he intended to give up the ideal of engaging in research, because doctors were helpless about the disease, but later, the rate of deterioration slowed down, so he regained his mood, overcame all difficulties, stood up from setbacks, bravely faced this misfortune and continued to indulge in research. In 1970s, he and Penrose proved the famous singularity theorem, and won the Wolff Prize for Physics with 1988 * *. He also proved that the area of black holes will not decrease with time. 1973, he found that the temperature radiated by a black hole is inversely proportional to its mass, that is, the black hole will become smaller due to radiation, but the temperature will rise and eventually explode and disappear. In the 1980s, he began to study quantum cosmology. At this time, there was something wrong with his movements. Later, because of pneumonia, he had a tracheal puncture operation, which made him unable to speak again. Now he is completely paralyzed, so he can only replace his feet with an electric wheelchair. He not only relies on computers and language synthesizers to speak and write, but also needs others to spread out every page on the table for him to read page by page in a wheelchair. Hawking devoted his life to the study of theoretical physics and is considered as one of the most outstanding scientists today. His works include Time, Black Hole and A Brief History of baby universes and related articles. Although everyone thinks he is unfortunate, his achievements in science were obtained after his illness. With his indomitable will, he overcame his illness, created a miracle and proved that disability is not an obstacle to success. His love for life and enthusiasm for scientific research are worth learning from the younger generation. Franklin roosevelt (1933- 1945), the 32nd president of the United States, has always been regarded as one of the greatest presidents in American history, the most popular and beloved president in the 20th century, and the only person who was re-elected for four terms in American history, from 1933 to 65433. Won the high support rate of the American people for seven consecutive weeks, setting a historical record. Franklin delano roosevelt was born in new york. Father James Roosevelt is a millionaire. Mother Sarah Delano is 26 years younger than her father. Roosevelt studied at Harvard University and Columbia University. 19 10 is a senator from New York. 19 13 served as deputy minister of the navy. 192 1 year was disabled by polio. From 65438 to 0928, he was the governor of New York. 1932 won the presidential election. After taking office, the "New Deal" was effective in coping with the economic crisis, so he was re-elected in the general elections of 1936, 1940 and 1944. At the beginning of World War II, the United States adopted a policy of non-interference, but took tough measures against Hitler and supported the Allies with the "lease law". 194 1 At the end of the year, the United States entered the war. Roosevelt twice represented the United States in the meeting of the "Big Three" of the Allies. The Roosevelt administration put forward the principle that the Axis countries must surrender unconditionally and put it into practice. Roosevelt put forward the idea of establishing the United Nations, which was also put into practice. Died of cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 63. 1April 2, 945, franklin roosevelt, a giant in modern history, passed away. Two months after the Yalta meeting, Roosevelt died quietly while recuperating in Georgia hot springs. ■ A crutch ascended the presidency1882 65438+1October 30th, franklin roosevelt was born in a noble family on the Hudson River in new york. Fate endowed him with handsome appearance, kind personality and intelligent talent. /kloc-entered the famous groton College at the age of 0/4, and came to Harvard University four years later.190/kloc-0 joined the * * * and party club at the age of 0, and started his political career. Also in this year, his uncle theodore roosevelt became the youngest president in American history. Roosevelt was determined to follow his uncle into politics and found a blockbuster opportunity at 19 10. He intended to run for the Senate of new york City, but he appeared as a Democratic candidate. When he told the president's uncle, who is a Republican, the other side was furious and scolded, "you despicable son of a bitch!" You traitor ... "But franklin roosevelt didn't change direction. He rode in a red car, made more than ten speeches every day, and was finally elected as a senator of new york City. 19 13, President Wilson appointed him as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and he served for seven years with outstanding performance. 1920, Roosevelt was nominated as the vice presidential candidate. Although he lost the election, his light as a new political star has not diminished. Wise, capable, broad-minded and popular, it seems that nothing can stop this 39-year-old man from reaching the political peak. However, the ruthless disaster came at this time. 192 1 In the summer of, Roosevelt took his family on vacation in Campobello Island. After putting out a forest fire, he jumped into the cold sea and got polio. The prospect of high fever, pain, numbness and lifelong disability did not make Roosevelt give up his ideals and beliefs. He kept exercising and tried to regain his ability to walk and stand. Georgia Hot Springs, which he used to treat diseases, is called "the place where laughter filled the sky". 1924 returned to politics with crutches, 1928 became the governor of new York state. Political opponents often attacked him with his disability, and Roosevelt had to fight for it all his life, but he always turned it into an advantage with excellent political achievements, excellent eloquence and abundant energy. When he first took part in the election, he told people through a spokesman: "The governor is not necessarily an acrobat. We didn't choose him because he can do forward roll or back roll. He is doing mental work and trying to benefit the people. " Relying on such perseverance and optimism, Roosevelt finally defeated Hoover with an absolute advantage of 1933 and became the 32nd president of the United States. Who is Hawking? He is a brain, a myth, the most outstanding theoretical physicist of our time, a giant in the name of science ... perhaps, he is just a warrior who challenges his fate in a wheelchair. The intelligent brain gave birth to Stephen Hawking, who was born in1June 8, 942. At this time, his hometown London was shrouded in Hitler's indiscriminate bombing. Hawking and his sister spent their childhood in several towns near London. Many years later, their neighbors recalled that Hawking was lying in the cradle car, which was very eye-catching, and his head looked very big, which was different from ordinary people-mostly because Hawking's reputation and achievements were far from ordinary people, and neighbors could not help but re-portray the image of gifted children in their memories. However, in this dull and conservative town, the Hawkins really look different. Hawking's parents both received formal university education. His father is a doctor who studies tropical diseases, while his mother has engaged in many occupations. Residents of small towns are often surprised to see Hawkins driving an old used car across the street to the suburbs-before the car entered the homes of British citizens. However, this strange car expanded Hawkins' freedom of movement. Hawking is keen to find out the ins and outs of everything, so when he sees a novel thing, he always likes to take it apart and understand the structure of each part-but it is often difficult for him to put it back because his hands and feet are far less flexible than his mind, and even his handwriting is famous in class. Hawking/Kloc-entered Oxford University to study physics at the age of 0/7. He is still not a hard-working student, and this attitude is consistent with other students at that time. This is a period of confusion for young people after the war-they are tired of everything and feel that there is nothing worth pursuing. Hawking hangs out with his classmates at school, drinks and joins the rowing club. In the long run, he is likely to become an ordinary employee or teacher. However, the disease appeared. Since childhood, sports have never been Hawking's strong point, and he can't do almost any ball games. In his third year at Oxford, Hawking noticed that he became more clumsy and fell down once or twice for no reason. Once, he suddenly fell down the stairs for some unknown reason, immediately fell into a coma and almost died. It was not until 1962 that Hawking was a graduate student in Cambridge that his mother noticed her son's abnormal condition. Hawking, who just celebrated 2 1 birthday, spent two weeks in the hospital. After various examinations, it was diagnosed as "Luger's disease", that is, motor neuron atrophy. The doctor told him that his body would get out of control more and more, and only his heart, lungs and brain could function. Finally, the heart and lungs will also fail. Hawking was only sentenced to two years in prison. That was at 1963. At first, the disease deteriorated quite quickly. The blow to Hawking can be imagined. He almost gave up all his studies and research because he didn't think he could finish his master's thesis alive. However, a woman appeared. A woman appeared. Her name is Jane Wald. 1962 In the summer, Jane met Hawking, who walked awkwardly and faltered, through her friends, and met him several times later. So, they met love. But their love is a bit bitter. Hawking is incurable about his illness, so he doesn't intend to establish a long-term and stable relationship. There is always a third party between them-death. However, the power of love is irresistible. On July14th of the following year, Jane and Hawking got married. Years later, Jane wrote in her memoir "Music Moves the Stars": "I love him very much, and nothing can stop me from marrying him. I am willing to cook, wash clothes, shop, clean up the housework for him and give up my previous ambitions. " The engagement to Jane really changed Hawking's life. In order to get married, he needs a job, and in order to get a job, he needs a doctorate. Therefore, for the first time in his life, he began to study hard. To his surprise, he found himself very fond of research. Love has a happy ending. However, wheelchairs appeared. The wheelchair appeared, and Hawking's condition became more and more serious. 1970, Hawking, whose academic reputation is growing day by day, was unable to walk by himself, and he began to use a wheelchair. To this day, he has never left it. Hawking, who has been sitting in a wheelchair, works and lives extremely tenaciously. 199 1 In March, Hawking returned to his apartment in Berlin in a wheelchair. When crossing the road, he was knocked down by a car. The left arm was broken, the head was cut off, and 13 stitches were stitched. However, 48 hours later, he returned to work in the office. On another occasion, he and his friends went to a country house. When going uphill, they turned too hard and the wheelchair fell backwards. I didn't expect the master of gravity to be overturned in the bushes by the gravity of the earth. Despite the growing physical disability, Hawking still tries to live like an ordinary person and accomplish what he can. He's even lively-it sounds a bit funny. After he was completely unable to move, he still insisted on driving a wheelchair with his only movable finger on the way to the office. In a hotel in Moscow, he suggested that everyone dance. The way he turned the wheelchair in the hall was really a miracle. When meeting Prince Charles, he turned his wheelchair to show off and ran over Prince Charles' toes. Of course, Hawking also tasted the consequences of "freedom" action. The master of quantum gravity fell from his wheelchair many times under the weak gravity of the earth. Fortunately, every time he stubbornly "stood up". 1985, Hawking underwent tracheal surgery, and since then he has completely lost the ability to speak. It is under such circumstances that he made great efforts to write the famous A Brief History of Time and explored the origin of the universe. Hawking achieved great success, but the reality of life replaced the romance of love, and his marriage with Jane came to an end. Enlightenment from intuition: Black holes are not black Hawking's research object is the universe, but he has always been uninterested in observing astronomy, and has only observed it several times with a telescope. Compared with traditional scientific methods such as experiment and observation, Hawking's method relies on intuition. The great achievement of "black hole is not black" comes from the flash of an idea. 1970 1 1 One night in June, Hawking slowly climbed into bed and began to think about the problem of black holes. He suddenly realized that a black hole should have a temperature, so that it would release radiation. In other words, black holes are not that black. This epiphany, after three years of thinking, formed a complete theory. 1973165438+1October, Hawking officially announced to the world that black holes constantly emit X-rays and gamma rays, which is the famous "Hawking radiation". Before that, people thought that black holes could only swallow but not spit. From the singularity of BIGBANG to the radiation mechanism of black holes, Hawking has made outstanding contributions to the development of quantum cosmology. Hawking won the Wolf Prize in Physics from 65438 to 0988. King of bestsellers: A Brief History of Time Hawking's popular science book A Brief History of Time-From BIGBANG to Black Hole has sold as many as 25 million copies worldwide, and has been on the bestseller list since the publication of 1988, setting a world record for bestsellers. In this book, Hawking tries to explain black holes, the origin and fate of the universe, black holes and time travel in a way that ordinary people can understand. At the beginning of A Brief History of Time, Hawking pointed out: "I was told that every equation I wrote in the book would halve sales. So I decided not to write any equations. But at the end of the book, I wrote an equation, Einstein's famous equation E=mc2. I hope this will not scare away half of my potential readers. " Now it seems that Hawking is completely worried. Beethoven's heart is full of ideals of freedom, equality and universal love. He is an enthusiastic supporter of 1789 French bourgeois revolution. 1798, General Bernadotte (1763- 1844) became the French ambassador to Vienna. Beethoven often visited his home and kept close contact with people around him. 1802, Beethoven began to compose the third symphony dedicated to Napoleon at the suggestion of Bernadotte. In his mind, Napoleon was a hero who destroyed the autocratic system and realized his ideal. 1804, Beethoven completed the third symphony. Just as he was preparing to dedicate it to Napoleon, the news that Napoleon proclaimed himself reached Vienna. When Beethoven learned the news from the student Lisi (1784- 1838), he roared angrily: "He is just an ordinary person. Now he will trample on human rights to show his personal ambition. He will ride on everyone's head and become a tyrant! " As he spoke, he went to the table and tore up the dedication to Napoleon and threw it on the ground. No one was allowed to pick it up. After many days, Beethoven's anger gradually subsided and he was allowed to make this work public. Helen Keller is an American blind and deaf woman writer and educator. When I was young, I was sick, deaf in both ears and blind in both eyes. At the age of seven, Anne Sullivan became her mentor, and she has been her mentor and friend for 50 years. With Sullivan's help, he entered the university and graduated with honors. During her college years, she wrote The Story of My Life, telling how she overcame illness and disability and inspired thousands of disabled people and normal people. This book has been translated into 50 languages and distributed all over the world. Later, he wrote many words and several autobiographical novels, which showed that darkness and silence did not exist. Later, Keller became an outstanding social reformer, giving speeches in the United States, Europe and Asia to raise money for the blind and deaf. During World War II, she visited many hospitals to offer condolences to the blind soldiers. Her spirit is revered by people. 1964 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor of American citizens, and was elected as one of the top ten outstanding women in the world the following year. Ostrovschi190465438+On February 22nd, Ostrovschi was born in a Ukrainian worker's family. Because his family was poor, he only studied for three years. He works as a handyman in the canteen and an assistant stoker in the power plant. After work, he greedily reads literary works. After the victory of the October Revolution, he took an active part in the struggle to defend the Soviet regime. 19 19 joined the * * * Youth League, 1920 August, was injured in the battle, and transferred to a local job. Soon, in the struggle against the flood, he got typhoid fever and rheumatism. 1927, paralysis; 1928, he is blind. However, he is still physically and mentally disabled. He overcame indescribable difficulties and engaged in revolutionary literary and artistic creation. Ostrovsky's creative attitude is extremely serious. It took him five years to write the novel How Steel was Tempered. This novel describes the first generation of Soviet youth after the October Revolution. Under the leadership of the Bolshevik Party, they fought tenaciously against enemies at home and abroad and various difficulties in order to restore the national economy and consolidate the proletarian regime. The author vividly describes the glorious course of the protagonist Paul Kochakin's life and convincingly shows that "steel"-a strong fighter of capitalism-was tempered by the same class enemies and various difficulties. This novel is really not an "ordinary book". As soon as the book was published, it was immediately welcomed and praised by readers at home and abroad. In particular, the protagonist Kochakin recited in front of the curtain of martyrs: "Life only belongs to people once. A man's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of doing nothing. In this way, when he dies, he can say,' I have devoted all my life and energy to the great cause in the world-the struggle for the liberation of mankind.' "Become the motto of millions of revolutionary youth and inspire them to devote themselves to the cause of * * *. Ostrovsky also wrote many political papers and began to write another masterpiece, The Birth of the Storm. He planned to write three volumes, but only finished the first volume, and the disease took his life. 1936 65438+died on February 26th.
