（二十一）【2019 • 江苏省泰州市】
I will never forget May 15, 2011. That night, my car crashed 16 a tree and everything has changed ever since.
I lost most of my right 17 , and I was left bleeding with several broken bones. At the hospital, my body was 18 , but my mind was still very clear. I just kept 19 myself to hold on. Life must go on since I was still 20 .
Two weeks later, I was allowed to go home. 21 I left the hospital, the fight was far from over. My left leg was badly hurt in that accident as well, as a result, I had to receive different 22 during the next few years. And soon, more of my right leg had to be cut off. This made it harder to wear my artificial leg(假肢) , so I donated it to another girl who couldn’t 23 one. The joy of being able to provide this gift for someone else was 24 than the happiness I felt on any day I could wear it myself.
People often tell me they are 25 of me for staying strong. But in my mind, being strong has always been my only 26 . On the day I left the hospital, I made a promise to 27 to make good use of every day to live life to the fullest. I am not only confident but I hope to help those around me. In 2017, I 28 started modeling. My dream is that one day a little girl will see me in a magazine and say, "Wow, she only has one leg but she is beautiful 29 confidence and bravery"
My dream is simple: to 30 every man, woman and child to know and believe that they are.
