This is a story about a journey, a journey with an unfortunate beginning, filled with joy and sorrow, transformation, and transcendence. It is the story of Lance Armstrong's personal life, telling his experiences from his distant childhood to his early success, fatal cancer, recovery, survival, greater victories (five Tour de France wins), marriage, and becoming a father for the first time. Growing up in a single-parent family, Armstrong was born when his mother was only 17, his parents divorced when he was two, and his stepfather often beat him. At the age of seven, he first tasted cycling, but the hardships of growing up made him think that after getting on a bike, if he rode far enough, maybe he could escape everything. He was indeed a naturally gifted cyclist, winning triathlon competitions (cycling, swimming, and running) from the age of 13, often skipping grades like a genius. In 1993, at the age of 22, he won the World Cycling Championship, with a bright future ahead. Just when he was at the peak of his career, in 1996, he suddenly discovered he had Stage III testicular cancer, with cancer spreading to his lungs and brain, his survival rate actually below 3%. During his fight against cancer, he realized that "cancer is like a cycling race," and he brought out his best to battle the disease, finally tasting victory once again, but this time in the fight against cancer. In his autobiography, he wrote: "Cancer truly brought a miracle to my life, reshaping it." Before his diagnosis, he was young and reckless in the cycling world, with some rivals even deliberately braking before the finish line to show disdain for competing with him for the prize. But his journey through cancer deepened the depth of his life, allowing us to witness firsthand how "when Heaven bestows great responsibility upon a person, it also strengthens what they lack!" After recovery, he did not immediately rise to prominence in the cycling world as if by magic. He went through a period of confusion, self-doubt, and even considered giving up, gradually realizing that his life was destined to be one of constant struggle and effort to climb higher. Only then could he win the gold medal in the Tour de France the following year, reaching the peak of his career, while also writing a legend of perseverance for humanity. Back to the Sun is a sincere and moving read. Armstrong's life is filled with a struggle woven with blood and tears, and he has always faced challenges with confidence and perseverance. We see how a hero of wisdom, courage, and virtue in real life turns Heaven's curse into a blessing for life—this is the true act of a brave person!
