Helen Keller was born on June 27th, 1980 in mbia, Tuscany, a small town in northern Alabama. 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 and her ears burned deaf.
1March 3, 887, which is a very important day for Helen. On this day, the family invited a teacher for her ── Miss Anne Sullivan.
Miss Sullivan and Helen Keller hit it off immediately and got along well within a few days. Besides, Helen Keller also learned to read from Miss Sullivan, so that she could communicate with others and teach her the meaning of new words. She gradually learned about flowers, water and the sun, and thought that love was warm sunshine. Later, Helen learned to point to Braille with her fingers and basic life etiquette.

Heroization is a degradation process (much like the lime process in geology); Through this process, our educational institutions have turned human beings into pious and perfect creatures. They have no contradiction, no pain, no humanity and no feasibility. Helen Keller is a typical hero in textbooks.
The teachers enhanced the image of Helen Keller. They used the story of this blind and deaf disabled girl to inspire generations of young students.
Every fifth-grade student knows the photo of Anne Sullivan spelling the word "water" into Helen's palm with a pump. Up to now, there are no fewer than ten films and slides describing Karen's life story, each of which is telling the same cliche.
An educational film released by McGraw Hill Publishing Company concluded: "The gift that Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan brought to the world is to constantly remind us how beautiful the world around us is and how many people are teaching us about it; No one is unworthy of help and no one can't help.

In the past 20 years, I have asked many college students who Helen Keller is and what she has done. They all know that she is a blind and deaf girl. Most people also know that she has a tutor named Anne Sullivan who teaches her to read, write and even speak.
Some students can still remember some details of Keller's early life: she lived in Alabama, before she met Sullivan, she was rude, and so on. Some students know that Keller went to college, but they know nothing about what happened later and what her whole adult life was like.
Some students boldly said that Keller became a "public figure" and a "humanitarian", perhaps because he represented the blind and the deaf. Keller was born in 1880, graduated from Radcliffe College 1904, and died in 1968. Ignoring her 64-year adult life, or just summarizing her with a "humanist" is an omission of lying.

In the painful struggle, the new order was born from the old order. Look! In the East, a baby boy was born! Forward! Comrades, March forward together! A bonfire to Russia! Meet the dawn!
