A Mirror

A young man was diagnosed with leukemia when he was at the peak of his life. Boundless despair suddenly enveloped his heart. He felt that life was meaningless and refused to accept any treatment.

One late autumn afternoon, he escaped from the hospital and wandered aimlessly on the streets. Suddenly, a burst of slightly hoarse and unusually heroic music attracted him. Not far away, a blind old man was playing a shiny musical instrument, playing it affectionately to the crowd of people. What's also striking is that there is a mirror hanging in the blind man's arms!

The young man stepped forward curiously and asked when the blind man finished playing a song: "I'm sorry to bother you, but is this mirror yours?"

"Yes, my musical instrument and my mirror are my two treasures! Music is the most beautiful thing in the world. I often rely on this to entertain myself, and I can feel how beautiful life is..."

"But what does this mirror mean to you?" he asked impatiently.

The blind man smiled slightly and said, "I hope a miracle will happen one day, and I also believe that one day I will be able to see my own face with this mirror, so I will take it with me wherever I go."

The heart of the leukemia patient was suddenly shocked: a blind man still loves life so much, but I... He suddenly realized it, and went back to the hospital for treatment calmly. He never ran away again.

He endured the painful treatment tenaciously, and finally a miracle happened, and he recovered to health. Since then, he has also possessed two precious treasures in life: a positive and optimistic attitude and an unshakable belief.

The big truth: People who want to take control of their own life and destiny must have the qualities of optimism and strength, because optimism and strength are the helmsman who controls the course of life and the power oar that controls the ship of destiny.
