He was an unfortunate child, and his congenital intellectual disability did not make him Get more care. After his younger brother was born, his parents were worried that he would harm the newborn who made up for the shortcomings of the family, so they sent him to a nursing home and isolated himself from the world.

I think what touches me is the spirit of persistence. Her mother's insistence on not giving up on her is a kind of maternal love. Her teacher did not treat her differently, but also continued to encourage her and became her most respected life mentor. This is a kind of persistence in education and respect for human nature. She did not give up on her studies because she persisted in her own interests and abilities. Her continuous research and improvement in livestock handling equipment is an insistence on animal equality.
Life is like opening many doors, and behind them is a new world. Remember, even if you are different from others,
You are not worse than others! (Different, But Not Less.)
This is a belief that everyone needs. A simple, harmless and infinitely true belief. This belief has made Tianbao what it is today. This belief has created countless miracles in the world.
And I can always see many normal people around me. Not only are they normal, but they are also lucky enough to have talent, family fortune, and appearance. However, under their superior appearance, they have no confidence in themselves. They need the support of their peers, the support of psychologists, and the support of placebos. In fact, the hidden pain in their hearts is that they are afraid of being less and afraid of being different. Because they are afraid of not being close enough to the standard of "normal", they choose to lose themselves, choose not to believe in themselves, and choose not to choose.
The sky in Tianbao is still incomplete, just as each of us is more or less, but she bravely made her own choice and walked into that door.
What do you think of hard food?
