第 29 篇：Defeat Disability

Yang’s 雄心 was to get an 建筑师 证书 or become a bowling master. But when he was conducting experiments with a 显微镜 in the 地下室, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit. He was out of breath while knowing he lost his 视力 as well as 70% of his hearing. In other words, he was disabled. Feeling 笨拙的, he was annoyed at first though nobody made fun of him. He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home talking to his parrot or tortoise silently. His sister resigned to help him in many ways. Her 帮助 and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that he adapted to his disability soon and became outgoing again. In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature. He always sat in the front row near the entry without any absence and, with the help of his handy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation. His thesis, Abolishing Slavery, met with all professors’approval. After class, he and his companions often played drum music, which was noisy but suitable for his hearing. After graduation, he made high profits by designing software for a firm. All in all, in his community, he won his 尊严 and people’s congratulations. He always wished all the best to his disabled fellows and encouraged them, “Never mind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement.”
