The Invisible Wing

The TOPIC OF MY ESSAY FOR THIS YEAR'S Beijing COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION IS "INVISIBLE WINGS", WHICH REMINDS ME OF ZHANG HAIDI, THE NEWLY APPOINTED CHAIRMAN OF THE DISABLED PERSONS 'FEDERATION, WHO WAS RECENTLY INTERVIEWED BY Yang LAN. It is not easy to ask her to do an interview. One is that she is quite low-key after taking office. The other is that the work is heavy, which must be very heavy for her who is disabled. What touched me was that throughout the nearly two hours of the interview, she sat upright, and I later learned that all of her weight was on her two elbows, which made me wonder at her perseverance.

Replacing Deng Pufang as chairman of the Disabled Persons' Federation was not an easy choice for Haidi, who even declined politely in the early days. However, since she started this job, she hopes to do more for the 80 million disabled people in China. For example, the poverty of rural disabled people and the barrier-free access in public facilities are always on her mind.

She was very touched by a visit to the Louvre Museum in France, she saw a long line outside the public toilets, but even so, no one occupied the disabled bathroom, even children are like this. Compared with public facilities in China, she was deeply angered that bathrooms for disabled people were often occupied by able-bodied people, and the occupants were unapologetic and unapologetic. Haddie, of course, didn't have that cool look when she was angry. She was always smiling. I am thinking of a more than 20 years ago was positioned as a role model for the disabled Zhang Haidi, is what kind of strength, can let her insist on being herself.

When she was just famous, some people didn't like her big wavy hair. In their minds, a "heroine" must be dressed in military uniform with short hair. Some leaders even offered some suggestions and sent hairpins to Haidi, hoping that she could cut her hair short. Under THE PRESSURE, HADDIE ALSO WAVERED. After all, for a hairstyle, with so many people's efforts, is it worth it? Will you be called ungrateful? On one occasion, she want to attend important activities of the great hall of the people, the start, she used a handkerchief, her long hair into horsetail, as if this is a compromise, but when she is getting closer and closer to the hall ablaze with lights, suddenly she pulled out a hand, tore down the handkerchief, she decided to do the real yourself, in that environment, it requires considerable courage.

As a person who has experienced the hardships of life, being strong in the face may not be the most difficult, but even more difficult is how to face the "injustice" of life and still face it with a smile. When she was very ill, Haddie told me, she had a near-death experience in which she felt as if she were walking down a sunlit corridor, dressed in white and walking lightly. I asked her if her first words to God would be to blame him for the misfortune that befell her. Haddie said sincerely, "No, I would thank him for teaching me so much. I would tell him that I am living well."

Remember Helen Keller once wrote the famous prose "If give me three days to see", she will use the first day to carefully look at the loved ones around; On the second day, visit a museum showing the history of human civilization. The third day, sitting on the street, watching people come and go, flow. I ASKED HADdie what YOU WOULD DO if God asked you to stand UP, and HADdie thought about it and said, "You know what? It's hard to cook in a wheelchair because all the kitchenware is designed to fit a healthy person's height. So at home, my husband won't let me cook fried food, because with the frying pan, the oil will splash directly into my face. If I could stand up one day, I would like to cook my husband's favorite fried food. I want to be able to pick up my child from school like a normal mother, tap him on the shoulder and say, Let's go home."

In MY OPINION, HADDIE DOES HAVE A PAIR OF "INVISIBLE WINGS", WHICH ARE NOWHERE ELSE BUT IN HER HEART.
