I had unpleasant experiences in a summer five years ago. My father died in a car accident,

leaving my mother, my two younger brothers and I alone. At that time, I was a senior high

school student. After my father’s funeral, I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in

a factory.

I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college, but I couldn`t. I only hoped

to bring up my two younger brothers. Life was not easy for me, for I can’t afford their tuition

even if I worked from day to night without stopping. Without my father’s protection, I thought

I was a slave (奴隶) to the fate.

Later on, something changed my life. I still remember that it was a rainy day. I put myself

in the rain and walked slowly in the street.

Suddenly the rain stopped! I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue

umbrella. Then I noticed a middle-aged man with one leg on crutch standing behind me. He

said to me, “Why not run without an umbrella? If you didn`t run, you would get drenched.”

The man told me that he was promoter. He once dreamed of being a policeman, but an

accident ruined his dream. Though his present job was not suitable for his legs, it was a

wonderful start to him. He was very happy that he didn`t lose heart and still “ran” on the road

of life…

I was encouraged by the man’s words. I went to a big city and I became an assurance

representative (担保代表). After two years’ running, I did well and my family condition turned

better little by little. Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.

Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life, if you couldn`t find a way to

prevent you from being wet, you would be overwhelmed. But if you decide to get rid of it,

you`ll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine.
