57 years ago today, on June 1, 1968 (May 6, 1968 in the lunar calendar), American female writer and educator Helen Keller passed away. In the 20th century, a unique living individual shocked the world with her brave ways. She was Helen? Keller, a woman who lives in darkness but brings light to mankind. Helen? Keller was born on June 27, 1880, in a small town in northern Alabama. She suddenly suffered from acute cerebral congestion when she was one and a half years old. Her high fever for days left her in a coma. When she came to life, her eyes were burned blind and her ears were burned deaf. Poor Helen, how should we face a world without light and sound? When she was seven years old, her family hired a tutor for her, the teacher Sullivan who influenced Helen's life. Sullivan almost went blind when she was a child and understood the pain of losing her light. She and Helen? Keller hit it off very well, and they got along well within a few days of meeting each other. One day, the teacher wrote the word "'water 'in Helen Keller's palm. Keller always confuses "cup" with "water". Later, she became impatient and broke the new doll given to her. But Teacher Sullivan did not give up on Helen. She took Helen Keller to the well room and asked Helen Keller to place her small hand under the water pipe so that the cool spring water could splash on Helen Keller's hands. Then, Teacher Sullivan wrote the words 'water' and "water" in Helen Keller's palm. From then on, Helen Keller wrote the words 'water' and "water" in her hand. Keller will remember it firmly and will never be confused again. Helen later recalled: "Somehow, the secret of language was suddenly revealed, and I finally knew that water was a substance that flowed through the palm of my hand." However, Teacher Sullivan believes that just knowing how to read but not being able to speak is still inconvenient for communication. But Helen, who was deaf and blind since childhood? Keller couldn't hear other people's voices, and couldn't see the shape of other people's mouths, so although she could speak, she couldn't speak. In order to overcome this difficulty, Teacher Sullivan replaced Helen? Keller approached Dr. Hao, who taught her to use her hands to feel the changes in mouth shape when others spoke, as well as the differences in inhalation and exhalation in the nasal cavity, to learn pronunciation. Of course, this is a very difficult task, but Helen? Keller still did it. In order to get Helen close to nature, Teacher Sullivan asked her to roll on the grass, run and jump in the fields, go to the river to play in the water, bury seeds in the ground, and take her to touch the newborn pig. Helen studies for more than 10 hours a day. After a long period of hard study and unyielding confidence, she has mastered a large amount of knowledge and can skillfully recite a large number of poems and wonderful fragments of famous works. Later, she could read a 200,000-word book in 9 hours, memorize it, tell the general idea of each chapter and section, and write the wonderful sentences, paragraphs, chapters and her own thoughts on the book. The unique insights of the article were written within 2 hours. Helen's memory far exceeds that of ordinary people. In 1898, Helen? Keller attended Cambridge Girls 'School in Massachusetts. In the fall of 1900, he reapplied to attend Radcliffe College at Harvard University, which was unbelievable for a blind and deaf person. In 1904, Helen obtained a bachelor of arts degree with honors and became the first deaf and blind person to graduate from an institution of higher learning. And for so many years, Teacher Sullivan has stayed in Helen? Next to Keller, he wrote textbooks and class content in Helen? On the palm of Keller's hand, she could understand its content, which could be said to be dedicated to Helen. Two years later, Helen was appointed chairman of the Massachusetts Board for the Blind and began social work for the blind. She receives visiting blind people every day and replies to letters that come in like snowflakes. Later, she toured the United States to promote the implementation of education and treatment programs for deaf and blind people. Helen formed Helen in 1924. The Keller Foundation and joined the American Foundation for the Blind as its national and international relations adviser. She has been working hard to strengthen the work of the foundation. In 1936, the teacher she had been with for fifty years passed away. Helen was very sad. Helen knew that without the love of her teacher, she would not be the person she is today, and was determined to carry forward the love that her teacher gave her. So Helen traveled all over the world in cities large and small, running around for the disabled, and serving the unfortunate with all her heart. Teacher Shariwen gave her the most precious love, and she spread it to all unfortunate people and gave them hope. Helen? Keller's love not only gives people with disabilities full confidence, but also inspires people from all over the world to face up to the welfare of disabilities and set up service agencies to help them live a healthy and happy life.
