Synopsis
A disabled youth, who had only been to school for one day, has published a book and became a well-know author. It arose a lot of concern within society. Beyond the materialism, you will get to see his firm heart. The truth, however, is the identity of the author didn’t bring him a better life. In contrast, he still struggles for basic needs in life. Suffered from all these, he made up his mind for carrying on with his incomplete body; and believes that the forms of life are supposed to be diverse. Life changed him secularly, but his calmness before the death made him admirable. For though he may die, from now on to the last moment, he will keep fighting up against the unequal fate. Through the process of self-struggling, he reshaped his mind and recognized the meaning of being: after recognizing the truth of life, he chose to accept and embrace it.
