As I drove along the road,small car flew across the center divider from the opposite direction and crashed into
my car head-on. I fell unconscious and was awakened by the ringing of my mobile phone.
I was brought to Kuala Lumpur General Hospital bleeding on from my nose,mouth and legs. But the hospital
staff was too busy to attend to me,so I called a friend to tell him about the accident. Some friends arrived very soon
and sent me to a private hospital nearby. I saw my injured feet hanging from my body,blue and lifeless,and I begged
the doctors to save them at all cost. They calmly promised to do their best.
The doctors made it. After I was discharged,I was given ten months medical leave. My heart sank,knowing that
it meant I,a big man,couldnt work. How was I going to support my 65-year-old mother and other family members?
I felt completely helpless,but a lot of unexpected blessings came my way. When I was recovering at home,friends
and relatives helped me with my banking,insurance or simply came to cheer me up.
When the casts(石膏)were removed,I did not let the sight of my weak legs discourage me. I worked hard at
my physiotherapy(物理疗法)with only one aim. After eight months,I was walking without the aid of a walking
stick. Oh February the following year,I returned to my job again. Today,after eight years,I have travelled to many
counties as a tour leader.
The accident makes me realize how lives can change in a second. I value life more,not only of my own but also
of everyone I know,and I will always try to help when I know of someone in trouble.
