In response to a journalist's question, Zhong Zhi wrote the following reply on the computer. People looking at him said he resembled Dr. Stephen Hawking. "Disabled people are our neighbors, brothers, and family members. Whoever you are, you may have disabled relatives or friends among your family or friends. So, when you encounter disabled people on the street, think of that relative or friend. Please treat us as they would treat you. We do not expect special care—we just hope you can see us as family and friends. Thank you!"
Perhaps life is always like this. When facing ideals, look up, but when facing reality, look down. Seeing people less fortunate than yourself makes you realize how blessed your own life is. But to develop yourself, you should strive to emulate those who are better than you. That's how I've walked, and that's how I will continue to live.
