After I read “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, I read an old book” Standing on the Edge of Two Worlds” once again. Last year I firstly knew the book from the “2014 Good Books of China” festival, then I downloaded it on kindle APP and read it. I was greatly impressed and moved by the author Hao Cheng, and I have read it several times.

For some unknown reason, Mr. Cheng has never walked since he was born. In his twenty years’ short life, he was “a professional patient” and “an amateur writer”. In the book, he wrote about his childhood life, his view of life and society, and his friendship with net friends. However, he seldom wrote about his illness and pain. He struggled to live better instead of complaining about the fate. He knew that his life would be short (doctors once said that he could only live as long as 5 years), but he didn’t waste the time and be pessimistic, instead, he treasured his time and studied hard. Once upon a time, he read about 100,000 to 200,000 words every day. He took some notes every day and began to write. A sentence he once wrote down is now very famous on the internet. It was that the real cool thing is not the success that you can be proud of but the smile you still have when you are in difficult times.

Mr.Cheng’s optimistic attitude about life greatly inspired me and led me to think a lot about life. We may face different difficulties in our life, and in most of the time we can’t avoid but have to face them and go through. Rather than being worried about our life’s length, we can broaden our life’s breadth and do many meaningful things. My dear friends, I sincerely recommend you to read this book. You may get power from it and begin to think about the meaning of your life.
