The story of Helen Keller is the story of a normal child who, at the age of 18 months, was suddenly shut off from the world but, against overwhelming odds, waged a slow, hard but successful battle to re-enter that same world. The child grew into a highly intelligent and sensitive woman who wrote, spoke and labored incessantly for the betterment of others.
Helen was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880. However, her real life began one day in March of 1887, when she was almost seven years old. She was always to call that the most important day I can remember in my life. It was the day when Annie Sullivan, a 20-year-old graduate of the Perkins School for the Blind, came to be her teacher. They were inseparable until Annie’s death in 1936.
Even as a little girl Helen expressed a desire to go to college. In 1900, she entered Radcliffe College and graduated from there cum laude in 1904. She thus became the first deaf-blind person to graduate from college. Throughout these years, Annie Sullivan laboriously spelled books and lectures into her pupil's hand.
While still at Radcliffe, Helen Keller began the writing career, which was to continue for 50 years. In addition to The Story of My Life, she wrote 11 other books and numerous articles on blindness, deafness, social issues and women's rights.
Despite the broad range of her interests, Helen Keller never lost sight of the needs of others who were blind and deaf-blind. She was a personal friend of Dr. Peter J. Salmon, Executive Director of Helen Keller Services for the Blind (then known as the Industrial Home for the Blind) and lent her support to the establishment of what has become known as the Helen Keller National Center for the Deaf-Blind Youths and Adults. She was a visitor to a number of facilities and programs operated by IHB.
In 1936, Helen Keller moved to Westport, Connecticut, where she lived until her death on June 1, 1968, at the age of 87. In his eulogy at her funeral, Senator Lister Hill said of her, "She will live on, one of the few, immortal names not born to die. Her spirit will endure as long as man can read and stories can be told of the woman who showed the world there are no boundaries to courage and faith."

謙謙,[童年的記憶:雙清公園],我已經在論壇貼過了。
藍宇是電影,改編自網絡小說背景故事。和斷臂山題材一樣,是胡軍和劉燁演的,關錦鵬導演,劉燁為此成了最年輕的影帝。

貝卡, 看了你那篇雙清園的散文了, 底下是我在那文下的留言:
感人的好文, 考慮重貼論壇. HELEN KELLER 的詩我收藏了, HELEN KELLER 是誰?
我舍不得你難過---哪個網親難過我都舍不得....
--Autumn
很高興能和你分享。真好,認識了一個鄰居。
也祝福你和你的家人。
‘藍宇’是電影嗎?好奇的問你,取名板板的來由?
另外,很欣慰在你的一篇文章中讀到你的孩子們不會說中文,因為......我的兒女們也不會,讓我少了點慚愧的感覺.
我在你的音樂一頁中找到了許多我曾最愛的音樂和歌曲,有一首歌我找了好多年都沒有找到(因不知歌名),我在你這兒找到了,是《秋蟬》。
謝謝你,謝謝你讓我們分享你的那麽多美好的世界!也祝你及家人周末快樂!
真好聽!
BTW,那個馬尾巴的功能好像是電影‘春苗’。這一說想起來,這首歌在‘藍宇’裏麵劉燁清唱過,結尾好像也是這首,怪傷感的哦
My pleasure.
Have a nice weekend,
Rebecca
謝謝Rebecca讓我們分享.
聽這首歌曲時,我想起了小說:Wuthering Heights

謝謝你的誇獎。
我喜歡這個歌曲的開頭的音樂。
周末快樂,

最痛苦的莫過於此,愛被輕視,愛被誤解,愛被忽略.
欣賞你的品味和才氣
Thanks & have a nice weekend,
