“I am a fragment (碎片) of a mirror whose whole 17 and shape I do not know. 18 , with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the 19 of men—and change some things in some people.Perhaps others may see and do 20 .This is what I am about.This is the meaning of my life.”
