Fate tends to favor those who have perseverance and struggle.
-Inscription. Have you heard this story? There is an innocent and lovely little girl who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia two days before her third birthday. Since then, although he has been hospitalized many times, his condition has always been difficult to control.
From the age of 4, she began to learn painting, because her biggest dream is to be an excellent painter when she grows up. She likes drawing the protagonists and lovely animals in fairy tales best. For a young child, she may not understand the threat of death.
Therefore, in the process of fighting the disease, whenever she has time, she will open the sketch book, pick up her beloved crayon, endure the pain and draw a beautiful picture in her mind. By the age of seven, the little girl had drawn more than 8,000 crayons. She will ask her parents to keep anything she thinks is better. In her young mind, she never gave up her dream of being a painter.
After struggling with the disease for four years, the little girl lived a short life of seven years and nine months with great desire for life. However, she left more than 8,000 beautiful color pictures for children all over the world. The little girl's name is three bottles of johanna.
On September 18, 2000, johanna's paintings were exhibited at the National Bone Marrow Disease Association Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. All the people who have seen johanna's paintings are infected by her persistent courage to survive and optimistic spirit, and they all shed tears. Such a young life can face the threat of death calmly and realize his dream with tenacious perseverance.
In fact, a person's life, no matter how long or short, is extremely small for the whole world. Now, no matter what situation we are in, no matter how much pain we suffer, as long as we can meet the challenge of bad luck with hope and courage and fight for our dreams, we will leave a gorgeous color for our lives!
The golden wind is refreshing, and the sky is high and the clouds are light. In this blooming and fruitful season, we have ushered in the 56th birthday of our motherland, and I am very happy to be able to celebrate the National Day with you. Here, I proudly say to my mother: I love you, China!
Ah! Yellow River, Yangtze River and Pentium Wan Li, what a splendid nation you have raised! The glorious history of 5,000 years and the world-famous Chinese civilization are amazing. Oh, motherland, the trickle is your flowing long hair, and the long mountains are your tenacious backbone. You have treasures all over the mountains, you have beautiful landscapes, you have the magnificent Forbidden City, and you have the winding Great Wall of Wan Li. You still have a lot. . . . . . In your vast land, generations of China people have created splendid oriental civilization with their own hands.
However, we will never forget how many vicissitudes and pains the Chinese nation has experienced, and our motherland has been bullied and insulted. We can't forget the firelight of the Ming Garden, the hat of "The Sick Man of East Asia" on everyone's head in China, the sign of "Chinese and dogs are not allowed in" at the gate of the park, and the blood of 300,000 compatriots in Nanjing dyed the Yangtze River red. The earth groans and the Yellow River cries, but the people of China will never be crushed.
The destruction of opium in Humen opened the prelude of China people's anti-aggression. The flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the thunder of the Reform Movement of 1898, the broadsword of the Boxer Rebellion and the artillery fire of the Revolution of 1911 all tell the world that the Chinese nation cannot be humiliated and the people of China cannot be bullied. The cry of the May 4th Movement and the establishment of the China Producers' Party are more like thunder breaking through the night sky. From Nanchang to Jinggangshan, from Yan 'an to Xibaipo, "a single spark can start a prairie fire". The people of China have just created a brilliant new China with millet and rifles, and we, the oriental giant, have finally stood up again!
After 56 years of ups and downs and 54 years of hard struggle, our motherland stands proudly in the east of the world. The people of China are enjoying unprecedented peace and prosperity. Socialism with Chinese characteristics's ships are breaking the waves and strutting!
Students, China is already very strong, but we can't forget that our great cause of reunification has not been completed, the international anti-China forces will never die out, and the Japanese covet the Diaoyu Islands in China, not to mention forgetting that 1999 our embassy was bombed. The blood of our compatriots tells us that we are not strong enough.
The difficulties and obstacles in our progress inspired our lofty sentiments and fighting spirit. New Millennium, new century, new starting point. The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has sounded a new clarion call for our progress, and hundreds of millions of people in China are marching bravely towards new goals.
Students, we are the future of our motherland and nation, and we were born in a great era. Students, work hard, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be realized in our hands. Motherland, mother! Please believe that we will live up to the great trust of history, and the new China Symphony will play a more splendid movement in our hands! As Li Dazhao expected: "Let the healthy spirit of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years reappear in the flame of youth! Let China's 5,000-year-old hero Hua Soul be reborn in the flame of youth! ! ! "
In autumn, the weather is pleasant and coincides with the National Day holiday. My family went to visit my grandmother. Grandma is over seventy years old this year, but she is hale and hearty and healthy. Grandma's happiest time is when her children take their children back to their hometown from all over the country on holidays, and more than 20 people from a large family get together. No, grandma came back with a basket full of fresh shrimp, crabs and fish, and was happily greeting her neighbors. She can hear her father's hearty smile from a distance.
Grandma's home is far away in a water town in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. The traffic used to be very inconvenient. From Shanghai to grandma's house, you have to take a train and change ships. I started from home in the morning and arrived at my grandmother's house at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Because I am particularly carsick and seasick, my mother visits my grandmother once a year, and I can only go once every two or three years. It was already ten o'clock in the morning when my uncle drove to pick us up today. He said grandma was waiting for us to have lunch. Is there still time? I'm a little skeptical. We got on the Barker van, soon got on the A4 highway, and then got on the east-west avenue. Ah, it only took an hour!
I remember, coming out of the dock, passing through the old street paved with bluestones and passing through a narrow alley is my grandmother's home. Those are three old houses by the river, with white walls and tiles. The wooden window by the river was wide open and hung with bamboo curtains. You may find it charming, classical and romantic, but in real life, the kitchen and living room are together, and the gas in the briquette stove is filled, which makes grandpa cough constantly; There is no bathroom at home, and grandma has to carry the toilet to pour it every day; During the rainy season, the river flooded into the house, and the old furniture smelled bad and musty. What worries my grandmother most is that all the children are back during the holidays. How can so many people live? So grandma often says, "Alas! When can I change to a bigger house? " This year, grandma's dream has finally come true. The old city was rebuilt and the old people moved into new buildings. Now, in front of us is a beautiful small villa with glazed tiles shining in the sun and a pointed roof like a castle in a western fairy tale. Walking into the big yard surrounded by bamboo fences, osmanthus trees are fragrant, pomegranate trees are full of fruits, colorful chrysanthemums in the flower beds are smiling, and little white cats are sleeping lazily in the sun. Stepping into the living room, it is spacious and bright, the kitchen and bathroom are clean and tidy, and gas, running water and toilets are readily available. What makes grandma most satisfied is that she can leave a room for each child. Grandma was happy from ear to ear.
Standing on the top of grandma's three-story building, I looked up and saw Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, Sujia-Zhazha Expressway and East-West Avenue, criss-crossing roads extending in all directions. Not far away, there is water overflowing from the diamond field. Young girls are sitting in a diamond bucket and choosing diamonds. Their bright clothes are hidden in the clear water of diamond flowers. Next to the river pond, there is a large grassland, which is a paradise for children and a fitness area for the elderly. Every morning, grandma goes there to do morning exercises. Looking at such a beautiful garden building, you would never think that there are only a few low huts where foreigners live in rags. Moving into a new house and living in the garden, grandma's health is getting better and better, and her spirit is bright and clear. She smiled and said to us: "Reform and opening up is really good! The town is becoming more and more beautiful, life is getting better and better, and travel is becoming more and more convenient. It is said that after the rail transit is repaired, it only takes half an hour to get here from Shanghai. At that time, you can come back every week. You'd better go out early and come back late, and come with my old woman every day. Ha ha ha ... "
Listening to grandma's hearty laughter, I didn't feel very much. Yes, from the changes in my grandmother's house, I saw the rapid changes in our old China. Ah, long live the motherland! This is you, this is me, and this is the joy of Chinese children!
