Have you ever wondered about the authors’ experiences when reading books? How can they write such words? Let us tell you a story.
Once upon a time, there was a young man who loved writing and was very good at it. During the Cultural Revolution in China, as an educated youth, he went to a rural place to work.
He was passionate about life. Despite difficult and troublesome circumstances, he could still do well in his jobs. However, life played a huge joke on him. His legs were paralyzed due to his hard work. He was unable to walk or deal with most jobs. He liked to play football but couldn’t anymore. He lost his passion for life and started giving up on himself. He was bent on death and tried in vain to commit suicide.
He had nowhere to vent his anger and frustration but through writing. He recorded his thoughts with words. He found a new life through writing. Some years later, his works were published. His books warmed and encouraged many readers, made him feel more confident, and helped him make friends. This is the story of a famous Chinese writer – Shi Tiesheng. He is regarded as the writer who walked on the edge of death all his life. His writings are the guiding light for people’s confused lives.
From his experience, we can see that when he faced challenges, he didn’t complain or become hopeless. Instead, he embraced them and used his own ways to deal with them. He didn’t escape from them; he just lived under the given challenges. We can never escape from challenges; embracing them is the best way to deal with them, and we may gain something from them.
