The protagonists of the two articles both suffer from bipolar disorder, and their lives are doomed to be different from ordinary people.
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is now called bipolar disorder in medicine, which refers to a mental disorder characterized by manic or hypomanic episodes and depressive episodes.
In manic episode, patients are full of energy, and their speech and activities increase, while in depressive episode, they are depressed, their interest decreases, and their speech and activities decrease. These two seizure states often appear repeatedly, alternately and irregularly.
In addition, patients with manic depression may also be complicated with psychotic symptoms such as anxiety, hallucinations and delusions, and the course of disease is complex and changeable. The interval between two episodes is called intermission, which is longer or shorter. During the intermission, the symptoms can disappear and the social function of patients will return to relatively normal.
Bipolar disorder is not uncommon. In the book Manic Depression written by American psychiatrists, 25 historical celebrities are listed, such as Beethoven, Van Gogh, Newton and Hemingway. They have typical manifestations of bipolar disorder all their lives and suffer extraordinary pain. At the same time, they are all talented artists with great imagination.
Our talented son tells the story of a talented translator who suffers from bipolar disorder.
Jin Xiaoyu was born in 1972. When he was six years old, he was accidentally injured while playing with his friends. He was blind in one eye and suffered serious mental injuries. He suffered from bipolar disorder in high school and dropped out of school to go home.
He often throws things when he is ill, and his family is always around. Walking in the street can also cause trouble. Almost every year, they are sent to the hospital for treatment for a period of time.
Although Jin Xiaoyu needs to spend money on medical treatment and lose money when he goes out in trouble, Kochi's parents still try their best to meet his requirements. In addition to buying a lot of books, they also spent a lot of money to buy him a computer when 1993 home computers were not popular.
Jin Xiaoyu never destroyed the computer when he was ill. He only does two things with the computer: teaching himself a foreign language and watching the original movie. He taught himself German and Japanese in six years and consolidated his English. When watching foreign language movies, he first watches those with Chinese subtitles. After understanding the subtitles, he will make a mark to block the subtitles before watching. Watch a movie repeatedly for n times until you fully understand it.
When Jin Xiaoyu's mother went to Nanjing University for an alumni reunion, she gave her son a chance to try to translate foreign works.
Ship fever, Jin Xiaoyu's first translation, is one of the eight short stories written by American woman writer Andrea Barrett. His translation quality was well received by Nanda Press, so he obtained the right to translate other works and started his translation career. In ten years, Jin Xiaoyu translated 22 books at the rate of two books a year.
Translating literary works is tantamount to re-creation, which is very difficult. The book has 22 volumes and nearly 7 million words, without any typo, sentence break or mistranslation. Every book sells well and readers respond well.
Jin Xiaoyu's surprised father learned afterwards that Jin Xiaoyu had read all the foreign novels in Zhejiang Library. Opportunities will be reserved for those who are prepared.
He Bing, the hero of the novel Cellist, is an artist. He volunteered to be hospitalized. During his stay in hospital, his image as a modest gentleman was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He asked for a chance to play the cello every week. At halftime, he played the piano gracefully and charmingly, and he was so confident when he was ill. Everyone deliberately kept their distance from him, not for fear of being hurt, but because he was so charming.
Both the real Jin Xiaoyu and He Bing in the novel show extraordinary creativity, which is comparable to genius compared with ordinary people.
I also have a manic-depressive beside me. He is the husband of a classmate. After a period of marriage, he began to smash things and beat and scold his wife. Even if he walks in the street, he will fight with his wife if he doesn't agree. Because of swearing at work, he reported others out of thin air and was persuaded to go home by the leader.
When he was at half-time, everything was fine. Once he is ill, his father often turns to the policeman on the road to take him to the hospital.
He also has extraordinary talents. During his love, he wrote love poems and sang love songs, which deeply touched the hearts of my classmates. Unfortunately, the unfortunate marriage ruined my classmate's happiness and made him depressed. He stays indoors most of the time, and all his talents have no stage to display.
After knowing the spiritual life of bipolar patients in detail, I deeply sympathize with my classmate's husband. Once, I hated him very much. He ruined my classmate's life.
Once again, I deeply realize that there is no "empathy" in the world, and everything is "unknown, no comment".
