Mark Twain once said, "There were two strange people in the 19th century, one was Napoleon and the other was Helen Keller." Under the guidance of this sentence, I read Helen Keller's autobiographical memoir "If Give Me Three Days of Light" many years ago with great admiration. Recently, in my spare time, I read the book carefully from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised to find that when I re-tasted Helen Keller's words as a literary lover, I had a new understanding.
Many years ago, when I read "If you give me three days of light", I had never written an article, so I certainly couldn't grasp and understand the mystery in it. Frankly speaking, I was just reading a story, but I was still deeply moved by Helen Keller's strong and optimistic quality and infected by her positive attitude towards life. From then on, in my heart, I always take her as a model. In my life, when I encounter difficulties, I always think of this great woman who makes me admire. Undoubtedly, the spirit of Helen Keller has been deeply influencing and inspiring me over the years.
When I approached Helen Keller again, I was strongly shocked again! I can't imagine that a deaf-mute can describe such a beautiful and vivid scene! In the book, Helen Keller tells readers with exquisite brushstrokes that she goes riding, boating, swimming, "listening" to concerts, "watching" operas, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond in the moonlight ... I clearly read between her lines that the flowers are gorgeous, the leaves are green, the sun is golden, the water is swishing, the wind is whistling, and the thunder is rumbling ... Do you believe it? Take a closer look at her paragraphs: "Under the warm sunshine, the flowers of the shy tree are flying in the sun, and the branches full of flowers almost hang down to the grass." Those beautiful flowers will fall off one after another at the slightest touch. I passed through the colorful petals of the fallen tree, approached the tree, stood there for a moment, and then, I put my foot into the empty space of the branch and grabbed the branch with both hands to climb "; "In the evening, there was a sudden northeast wind. The wind rolled up the snow and snowflakes flew everywhere. The family sat around the blazing fire, telling stories and playing games, completely forgetting that they were isolated from the outside world. At night, the wind is blowing harder and harder, and the snow is falling harder and harder. We are terrified. The eaves creaked, the trees outside swayed from side to side, and the broken branches kept banging on the windows, making terrible sounds. " "Pine trees stand in the snow, covered with silver, like marble carvings, and they can't smell the fragrance of pine leaves. The sun shines on the branches, just like a diamond, and when touched lightly, the snow falls like raindrops. "... This vivid description of the scenery is clearly seen and heard! I am really surprised that she can perceive it so delicately and accurately, and describe it fluently in beautiful language and present it to us, which makes me admire her extraordinary brushwork! After reading her words repeatedly, I suddenly realized that all this is probably due to her opening her mind's eyes and feeling the world with her heart, so that such a tenacious and beautiful life message can flow in her pen. As the saying goes, the best things in the world can't be seen or touched, they can only be felt by the heart. I think that only words flowing from the depths of the heart can deeply enter the readers' hearts and cause * * * to be praised by readers.
In Helen Keller's picturesque words, you can fully feel all the beauty in this world. However, we healthy people, in our busy work and trivial life, often ignore the need to slow down and feel, appreciate and taste all the beauty around us. Isn't it? When we rush to catch the traffic car, do we pay attention to the touch of passing by? When we play the symphony of "pots and pans" in the kitchen, do we feel the sweetness of life in the strong smell of oil smoke ... If I have three days of light, I am very grateful to Helen Keller for teaching me to enjoy life with a pure and optimistic heart; Let me learn to observe and experience this beautiful world with good feelings, and try to integrate these dull happiness around me into my words and penetrate into my life little by little.
