Helen Adams Keller (65438+June 27th, 0880-65438+June 1, 0968), an American educator for the disabled, was also translated as Helen Heller. 1880 was born in mbia, Tuscany, a small town in northern Alabama. She was deprived of her sight and hearing by scarlet fever in 19 months. In this dark and lonely world, she didn't give up, but kept striving for self-improvement and meditation.
With the help of Anne Sullivan, Helen learned to overcome the mental pain caused by physical defects with tenacious perseverance. She loves life and has gained a lot of knowledge, learned to read and speak, and started to communicate with others. He graduated with honors from Radcliffe College of Harvard University in the United States and became a famous writer and educator proficient in English, French, German, Latin and Greek. She traveled around the world to raise money for schools for the blind and devoted her life to the welfare and education of the blind. She has been praised by people all over the world and won awards from many governments.
Helen believes that the tragedy of vision and hearing loss often occurs in families that cannot treat their children in time because of poverty. In order to eliminate the evil phenomenon caused by social inequality, Helen joined the American Socialist Party and the International Federation of Industrial Workers (IWW) and became a radical socialist. I have written two articles about how I became a socialist [1] and why I joined IWW [2] to illustrate my motivation. However, western history textbooks often praise the story of Helen Keller's struggle with illness in her early years, but the fact that she became a socialist as an adult is deliberately ignored. Helen Keller wrote 14 masterpieces in the book "Lies told me by the teacher-mistakes made in American history textbooks" [3]. My life is her first novel. As soon as the work is published; It immediately caused a sensation in the United States and was called "an unparalleled masterpiece in the history of world literature". More than 0/00 editions of/kloc have been published, which has a great influence in the world. This book is compiled from three books by Helen Keller, My Life, out of the dark and Teacher, and a famous essay published by Atlantic Monthly in the United States, If you give me three days of light, it introduces Helen Keller completely and systematically.
, a real and great life, many words are the first time to meet readers in China. Helen Keller is the eighth lesson of grade five in Jiangsu Education Press and the ninth lesson of grade six in Jiangsu Education Press. "My Teacher" was selected as the first-year textbook of Beijing Normal University Press, and "Rebuilding Life" was selected as the fifth lesson of the eighth grade of People's Education Press. "If you give me three days of light" (excerpt) was selected as the theme of cherishing life "Song of Life". In the 20th century, a unique individual life shocked the world in her brave way. Helen Keller, a woman who lives in darkness but brings light to mankind, has spent 88 spring and autumn years of her life, but has survived 87 years of loneliness without light, silence and words. However, it is such a claustrophobic person in the blind and deaf world who actually graduated from Radcliffe College of Harvard University. He spent all his life running around and set up a charity to benefit the disabled, and was selected as one of the top ten hero idols in the 20th century in America by Time magazine. Creating this miracle depends on an indomitable heart. Helen accepted the challenge of life, embraced the world with love, faced difficulties with amazing perseverance, finally found the bright side of life in the dark, and finally extended her loving hands to the world. Helen Keller (June 27th 1 880-65438+June10968) is a famous blind and deaf woman writer and speaker in the 20th century in America. With a strong will, she was admitted to Radcliffe College of Harvard University, became the first blind and deaf person in the world to complete her college education, and was selected by Time magazine in the United States. If you give me three days of light is Helen Keller's masterpiece of prose. From the perspective of a weak woman who is physically disabled and determined, she warned healthy people to cherish life and cherish everything given by the creator. In addition, My Life included in this book is regarded as "an unparalleled masterpiece in the history of world literature". Miss Sullivan and Helen Keller hit it off. They got along well within a few days of knowing each other, and Helen Keller also learned to read from Miss Sullivan. One day, the teacher wrote the words' water' and' water' on Helen Keller's palm. Somehow, Helen Keller couldn't write it down. The teacher knows where Helen Keller's difficulties lie. She took Helen Keller to the fountain and asked her to put her little hand under the fountain and let the cool spring water spill on her hand. Then, Miss Sullivan wrote the words "water" and "water" on Helen Keller's palm, which Helen Keller will never forget again. Helen later recalled: "Somehow, the secret of language was suddenly revealed, and I finally knew that water was a substance that flowed through my palm." The word "drink" awakened my soul and gave me light, hope and happiness. However, Miss Sullivan thinks that just knowing how to read without speaking is still inconvenient for communication. Helen Keller, however, was deaf and blind since she was a child, unable to hear other people's voices or see their mouths. Therefore, although she is not dumb, she can't speak. In order to overcome this difficulty, Miss Sullivan found an expert for Helen Keller, who taught her to feel the change of mouth shape when others spoke with her hands, and to learn pronunciation through the difference between inhaling and exhaling through the nasal cavity. Of course, it wasn't easy, but Helen Keller did it. Helen Keller, a blind writer, not only broke through the functional barriers and learned to speak, but also devoted her life to giving speeches to disabled people everywhere, encouraging them to affirm themselves and aspire to be a disabled person. Helen Keller's love not only gave the disabled full confidence, but also moved all countries.
People face up to the welfare of the disabled and set up service institutions to help them live a healthy and happy life. 1968, Helen died at the age of 87. She devoted her life's service to the disabled people all over the world. She wrote many books and her story was made into a movie. Teacher Sullivan gave her the most precious love. She spread this love to all the unfortunate people and brought them hope. After her death, because of her strong will and outstanding contribution, people all over the world were moved to hold activities to commemorate her. Helen Keller was blind and deaf due to illness since childhood, but she made unremitting efforts to overcome great difficulties and completed her college studies. He wrote more than a dozen works in his life and devoted himself to social activities to help disabled children, protect women's rights and interests and strive for racial equality. 1964 won the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

A change of fate
Helen Keller was born in Tasmania, Alabama, USA on June 27th, 1980. His father, Captain Arthur Keller, is the supreme commander of the local army. He is a very generous and hospitable person. He was a healthy baby when he was born, but he suffered from acute encephalitis at 19 months, and he lost his hearing and vision. However, she still tries to keep in touch with the outside world and communicate with her family in her own sign language. But with the growth of age, such communication can no longer satisfy her, and her temper has begun to become grumpy. The whole family is worried about her illness. When Helen was 6 years old, with the help of her family doctor, her parents invited johanna Mansfield Sullivan Macy from Perkins School for the Blind as Helen Keller's first tutor.
Meet the tutor
Miss Sullivan is very caring. She first understood Helen's temper. She finally knew that Keller's temper was so restless because her parents couldn't help watching her be punished for doing something wrong (hitting people, breaking rules, destroying things, etc.). ), so they gave her candy when she did something wrong. Therefore, Teacher Sullivan must correct the wrong behavior of these parents, establish a relationship of mutual trust with her, and patiently teach Helen sign language so that she can communicate with others and teach her more. Later, Helen learned to point to Braille with her fingers and basic life etiquette. After some training, when she was 10 years old, her parents invited a teacher named Sarah Flova from Hollesman school to teach her to speak, and Helen finally learned to speak. She put her middle finger on the teacher's nose, her index finger on her lips and her thumb on her throat. This is a very difficult thing for a blind and deaf person. Under the careful guidance of her parents and teacher Sullivan, Helen changed her view of the world and began to study hard and be a serious person. We should also learn to feel the things around us with touch.

Finally, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in 1904, becoming the first deaf-mute blind person to graduate from a higher education institution. For so many years, Miss Sullivan has been accompanying Helen Keller, writing textbooks and classroom contents on Helen Keller's palm, so that Keller can understand the contents. It can be said that she has never left Helen, so Helen is grateful to her all her life.

Helen Keller seems destined to create miracles for mankind, or God sent her into this world to show the dignity and greatness of the disabled to ordinary people. When she was one and a half years old, she suddenly had acute cerebral congestion, and her high fever for several days kept her in a coma. When she woke up, her eyes burned blind, her ears burned deaf, and her dexterous mouth could not speak. From then on, she fell into a dark and silent world and an abyss of pain. 1March 3, 887, which is a very important day for Helen. On this day, the family invited a teacher for her-Miss Anne Sullivan. Anne taught her to write and sign language. When Mr. Janagno of Perkins School for the Blind was surprised to read Helen's complete and true letter in French, he wrote: "No one can imagine how surprised and happy I am. I have always believed in her ability, but it is hard to believe that she has achieved such good results in three months of study. In the United States, it takes a year for others to reach this level. " At this time, Helen was only 9 years old. However, it is almost impossible for a person to communicate with others in a silent and dark world, because every exit has been tightly closed to her. But Helen is a miracle. She went from hell to heaven step by step, but the difficulty of this journey exceeded anyone's imagination. When she learns pronunciation, she needs to use her sense of touch to understand the trembling of her throat and the movement of her mouth when she pronounces, which is often inaccurate. To this end, Helen has to practice her pronunciation repeatedly, sometimes for hours at a time. Failure and fatigue made her haggard, and a strong man shed tears of despair for it. However, she never flinched, worked hard day and night, and finally was able to speak "Dad", "Mom" and "Sister" fluently. The whole family gave her a surprise hug, and even her favorite dog seemed to understand her call and ran to lick her hand. Helen Keller
1894 In the summer, Helen joined the American Association for the Advancement of Language Teaching for the Deaf and was arranged to study mathematics, science, French and German in Humason School for the Deaf. Within a few months, she will be able to talk freely in German. In less than a year, she finished reading the German version of William Tell. Teachers who teach French don't know sign language letters and have to dictate; Nevertheless, Helen quickly mastered French and read the novel The Forced Doctor twice. During her stay in new york, Helen made many friends in the literary world. Mark Twain read her wonderful short stories and they established a sincere friendship. Dr. Holmes read her a collection of poems, Rolling Beans, in his quiet home by the Merrimack River. When he read the last two pages, Holmes put a slave statue in her hand. The chain on the crouching slave just fell off, and Holmes said to Helen, "She is the liberator of your thoughts." The doctor refers to Miss Anne. Helen's excitement, beautiful thoughts and feelings about the world, meaningful deep love and down-to-earth pursuit are deeply rooted in her heart like the seeds of spring. Helen said confidently from an early age, "One day, I will go to college! I'm going to Harvard University! " This day has finally arrived. Radcliffe Women's College of Harvard University arranged her entrance examination in a special way. I saw that she skillfully touched the raised braille with her hand and then answered the question with a typewriter. After 9 hours, all subjects passed, and she got excellent grades in English and German. Helen began her college life eagerly. 1June, 904, Helen graduated from Radcliffe College with honors. Two years later, she was appointed as the chairman of the Massachusetts Committee for the Blind and began to engage in social work for the blind. She receives visiting blind people every day, and she has to reply to letters flying in like snow. Later, she toured all over the United States to promote the implementation of education programs and treatment programs for the deaf and blind. 192 1, the American Foundation for the Blind was finally established. Helen is one of the leaders of this organization, and she has been working hard to strengthen the work of the foundation. In the busy work, she never put down her pen and finished 14 books. My Life, Song of the Stone Wall, out of the dark, Optimism, etc. Have had a worldwide impact. Helen's last work was Teacher, for which she collected notes and letters for 20 years, but all these and three-quarters of the manuscripts were burned in a fire, as well as the Braille library and exquisite craft gifts from various countries. A different person might be disheartened, but Helen learned a lesson from the painful experience and was determined to finish it. She sat quietly in front of the typewriter and began another difficult trek. 10 years later, Helen finished the manuscript. She is very happy that this book is a gift for Teacher Anne, and Teacher Anne is very proud of it. 1956165438+1October 15 The curtain on a plaque erected at the gate of Perkins School for the Blind in America was lifted by Helen with trembling hands, which read: In memory of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan Messi. This is not an ordinary plaque, but for those who have written outstanding chapters in the history of human civilization. Indeed, Helen devoted her life to the welfare and education of the blind and won the respect of people all over the world. The United Nations also launched the "Helen Keller" World Campaign. On June 1968, Helen Keller, a deaf-mute blind scholar, writer and educator who wrote a hymn of brilliant life in the history of human civilization, passed away surrounded by flowers. However, her indomitable spirit of struggle and her legendary life will go down in history forever. As the famous writer Mark Twain said, "/kloc-there were two great figures in the 9th century, one was Napoleon and the other was Helen Keller." My dark light is a book about the sublimation of human spirit. Helen Keller was born deaf and blind, and lived in a lonely situation isolated from ordinary people in her early years, which is so important for a person's spiritual development. With the love of the God of all mankind, she can get in touch with others. Spiritual development led her to start a writing career. Helen Keller is regarded as one of the most inspiring writers in this century.

If I stand at the end of my life now and the spark of my life is about to go out, what would I think and do? You will also sigh that life is short and fragile, and regret not cherishing it? Make good use of your eyes, if you will be blind tomorrow. Listen to the beauty of music, listen to the songs of birds, listen to the powerful tunes of the orchestra, if you are going to be deaf tomorrow. Touch everything you want to touch, if your touch will decline tomorrow. Smell the fragrance of all the flowers and taste every mouthful. If you don't smell it tomorrow, you won't taste it. People! Why do you always have to wait until you lose it before you regret it? Why are we always so greedy, seldom cherish what we have, but long for what we don't have! Perhaps, you will feel that God has given us these beautiful things, even life, for granted. But have you ever thought, when one day, what you have, even your life, will be lost, what will you do, regret or give up on yourself? If so, it would be sad. Yes, I can't make the same mistakes as others. I would rather cherish them now. On the afternoon of June 1968, Helen Keller went to serve those unfortunate people wholeheartedly in her sleep. 1968, Helen died at the age of 89. Her life-long service for the disabled spread all over the world. She wrote many books and her story was made into a movie. Teacher Sullivan gave her the most precious love. She spread this love to all the unfortunate people and brought them light and hope. After her death, she touched the whole world because of her strong will and outstanding contribution. People all over the world have carried out activities to commemorate her. (4) Introduction of Helen Keller's teacher Anne Sullivan: Anne was born in a small village in western Massachusetts on April 4th, 1966. 1860 At the beginning of the year, her parents fled from their hometown of Ireland to the United States, where they have not gained anything for more than 20 years. By relying on my father to work for a short time in a nearby farm, the problem of life was finally solved. However, misfortune has been hovering around this home. Anne suffered from severe trachoma when she was over 2 years old. Poverty delayed treatment, and Anne's eyesight deteriorated and her temper became more violent. 1874, Anne's mother died of tuberculosis, and her alcoholic father mercilessly abandoned her, her brother Jimmy and her sister Mary. Later, under the "temporary adoption" and "planning" of other members of my father's family, my 3-year-old sister Mary was adopted by my aunt, while 10-year-old Anne and 7-year-old Jimmy were sent to Texaco Poor Hospital, a large miscellaneous hospital that treated more than 900 old, weak and sick people thousands of miles away from home in February 1876. The nightmare has just begun. Three months later, on May 30th, 1876, my younger brother Jimmy died in the poorhouse because of congenital tuberculoma of hip joint. For a long time, few people in this world cared about little Anne's sadness and loneliness until the appearance of her new father Barbara in the workhouse, who presided over Saturday prayers and Sunday mass ceremonies for the girls' dormitory. One day, Father Barbara said, "Annie, you shouldn't stay here any longer. I want to take you away. " Father Barbara has a friend who works as a doctor at the Catholic Charity Hospital in Luo County, Massachusetts. At that time, Anne's eyesight was already very poor. The priest must take Annie to see an eye disease first. In this way, 1 1-year-old Anne left the poorhouse and was hospitalized for eye diseases. Unfortunately, the operation failed, and Anne's eyesight was worse than before: only her sense of light was left, almost like blindness. Although several remedial operations were performed later, they all ended in failure, and the doctor claimed that he had tried his best and could do nothing. Annie must be discharged from the hospital. At this time, Father Barbara has been ordered by the mission to go abroad to preach. The helpless blind Anne was sent back to the workhouse-a place she hated. Annie's world is lonely and dark. She longs for a promising life and a turning point. This turning point occurred in 1880. Once, Anne found that the workhouse would welcome a delegation led by Fran Shannon. Anne decided to make good use of this day that might change her life. On that day, Anne finally put down her timidity and shouted a long-awaited voice to the delegation: Mr. Xiang Bang! I want to go to school! Please let me go to school! God's mercy God forgave Annie. 1880101On October 3rd, Anne entered the campus of Perkins School for the Blind in a carriage. 14-year-old Annie is in the same class with a group of 5-and 6-year-old children, because Annie, who has never been to school, can't even write her own name, let alone read. The poor child was nicknamed "Old Annie" by his classmates. After training in the time of the blind headmaster, with the help of the teacher, Anne grew up. When school is on holiday, Anne even wants to find a job within her power. Later, the school helped Anne find a job in tidying and cleaning hotels in the south of Boston. Anne often chats with the tenants when cleaning the room, so she has the opportunity to meet a tenant who enthusiastically recommends a doctor to treat her eye diseases-God once again brought Dr. Bradford to Anne. After two operations, Anne's vision has recovered! Although her eyesight is still blurred and she is "semi-blind", Annie is already very satisfied! This year, Anne 16 years old. 1886 In August, Annie graduated from a school for the blind. What's next? While Anne was worrying about her way out, one day at the end of August, Anne received a letter from the headmaster of Perkins School for the Blind-Dear Anne: How are you? Please read Mr Keller's letter carefully. Mr Keller found a tutor for his deaf, dumb and blind little daughter. Are you interested in applying? Please write and tell me. Please say hello to Mrs. Hobkin! I wish you happiness! It was this short message from your friend Ananos that changed the fate of Anne and Helen. 1On March 3rd, 887, Anne Sullivan came to Tus gambia, a small town in Alabama, and met Helen Keller (Helen was born on June 27th, 880 14 years younger than herself). This is the first student in Miss Sullivan's life and her only student. Teacher's Joy and Sadness1In the autumn of 900, Helen entered Radcliffe College of Harvard University. Teacher Sullivan accompanied her in class and translated the professor's lecture to her in sign language. 1902, john albert macy, a young lecturer at Harvard University (he is also a magazine columnist and literary critic), met Sullivan while helping Helen edit and sort out her biography My Life Story (Mr. Messi later studied sign language and became Helen's copyright agent for a while). 1904, the year Helen graduated from Harvard, the young man 1 1 years younger than Miss Sullivan fell in love with Sullivan and proposed to her (although Sullivan was a Catholic and Messi was a Protestant). 1905 On May 3rd, Miss Sullivan married Mr. Messi. Before deciding to get married, Sullivan even considered asking Mr. Messi, who is much younger than himself, to take care of Helen after his death (she trusted John and felt sure that John would take good care of Helen after her death). Although it was later discovered that Mr. Messi, born in 1877, died at the age of 55, four years earlier than Mr. Sullivan). Sullivan's English name Guanfu surname changed from Anne Mansfield Sullivan to Anne Sullivan Macy. The name stayed with her until her death, even after their divorce. 1965438+In May, 2003, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Messi had problems in their marriage. Mr. Messi traveled to Europe alone. Soon, Thomas Polly entered the lives of Sullivan and Helen. Others speculate on the cause of Sullivan's marital problems, and some complain that Mr. Messi wrote to ask for money after the divorce. However, the guess is someone else's and the pain is Miss Sullivan's. She said sadly: ... among many friends who have enriched my life, none is more interested than john macy. 1965438+At the end of 2006, Miss Sullivan fell ill. She and her assistant Thomas Polly left Helen for Puerto Rico for the first time. But even during her recovery, she often wrote to Helen. This is also the only time she "left" in her lifetime after she met Helen. Until 66 years old, 1936 10 months.
