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."

谦谦,[童年的记忆:双清公园],我已经在论坛贴过了。
蓝宇是电影,改编自网络小说背景故事。和断臂山题材一样,是胡军和刘烨演的,关锦鹏导演,刘烨为此成了最年轻的影帝。

贝卡, 看了你那篇双清园的散文了, 底下是我在那文下的留言:
感人的好文, 考虑重贴论坛. HELEN KELLER 的诗我收藏了, HELEN KELLER 是谁?
我舍不得你难过---哪个网亲难过我都舍不得....
--Autumn
很高兴能和你分享。真好,认识了一个邻居。
也祝福你和你的家人。
‘蓝宇’是电影吗?好奇的问你,取名板板的来由?
另外,很欣慰在你的一篇文章中读到你的孩子们不会说中文,因为......我的儿女们也不会,让我少了点惭愧的感觉.
我在你的音乐一页中找到了许多我曾最爱的音乐和歌曲,有一首歌我找了好多年都没有找到(因不知歌名),我在你这儿找到了,是《秋蝉》。
谢谢你,谢谢你让我们分享你的那么多美好的世界!也祝你及家人周末快乐!
真好听!
BTW,那个马尾巴的功能好像是电影‘春苗’。这一说想起来,这首歌在‘蓝宇’里面刘烨清唱过,结尾好像也是这首,怪伤感的哦
My pleasure.
Have a nice weekend,
Rebecca
